The Western semi final is three days away and there's still 4000 unsold tickets. If it wasn't for Rider fans it would be a lot more. How does our team go to a western semi final without a sellout?
That's why I'm saying this city needs a dome. Sure an outdoor stadium is nice on a beautiful summer day but how often does that happen? I support outdoor stadiums in Miami, Dallas etc.
Reality check: How many elderly people and family's will watch the game from home because of the weather?
For the not tough enough arguements, I've worked outdoors for many years and played in an outdoor ice hockey league (even when it was -30 out). Neither bothered me one bit.
I don't support outdoor stadiums north of the border. Either that or move the season up so the playoffs are in September.
