Not sure where to post this, but figured here might work.
Apparently the Barons (Oilers' farm team) is
struggling with attendance:
Quote:
Most nights this season, there have been more empty red seats than fans attending Oklahoma City Barons games at the Cox Convention Center.
Heading into the final weekend of the regular season, Oklahoma City is last in the 30-team American Hockey League in attendance. The Barons are averaging around 3,500 fans a game, a slight decline from their first two seasons.

Oh, and there's this other nugget:

“Guys like Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and (Magnus) Paajarvi, some of the best players in the world, came away saying they may spend some time in Oklahoma City this summer because they loved it that much,” Laforge said of players who played in OKC during the NHL lockout.
