Do Heat games count toward the 60 events needed for the arena to break even? I assume it does since they only have 4 events booked for the rest of the year.
A curling tournament will occupy the building for about a week, so that is 10 days of use, plus ~40 Heat games. If the Heat made the playoffs, it would go a long way towards filling the remaining # of dates.
The bigger issue is attendance at Heat games. How the heck do they attract another 2300 fans per games? Would a Canuck affiliate get 6000 fans? They can do it for a few games when they are the visiting team, but would those fans show up 40x?
