Are the season ticket holders going to be tourists? Is anyone going to cheer for the home team when they score? Good sports organizations aren't built around tourism, they are built around dedicated fan support.
They need the locals that will go to a game against the Wild on a Tuesday night and buy the merchandise with an intention of continually supporting the team. Not me, who would go there to watch the Flames, stay a few nights to party and gamble, then return home and watch more Flames at the dome.
