I do hope the Flames commit to bringing some type of value though to the STH, be it concession and merchandise discounts, or the rights to extra playoff tickets when the day comes. It's easy for a fan who never goes to a game to scream rebuild. They don't shell out a dime to watch a team who they expect to lose 60% of the time.
I can tell you from going to the games that there has been a significant decrease in attendance over even last year. Maybe all of the tickets have been sold to the game (doubtful), but there is usually 2-3k empty seats. The corners in the 200s are pretty empty and "press level" is maybe half full.

These were my observations from a Friday night Panthers game.
