I'm not one of those people who will blindly say that I'll have the same interest and budget in a rebuilding team that sucks. I'll hang on to the tickets, but anyone who says they'll sit in the stands and cheer just as hard for a young, newly blown up squad that gets murdered every night is just flat out lying. everyone's interest will grow and wane with the team's success and that's natural...but don't feel like you need to announce how savvy you were to pull your funds from the Flames when things started going bad.

My comment has nothing to do with you or any other ST holder
The year the Flames won the Cup I was paying $17.50 for my seat in the second tier. Given that players salaries have risen to insanity levels and ticket prices being what they are, I can't justify paying what people pay now for ST's. I don't see value on the ice for what i'd be paying today.
