Also, even though a couple thousand tickets are likely free or promotions, check out Tampa's attendance over the years. Top 5 in the league most years.

There's about 20 teams in the league that would love average attendance like that and you want them out of the league?
Yeesh.

I 100% know the league would not reduce its teams, I personally just think adding 2 more teams isn't a great decision. The talent will be stretched thinner which could hurt the product that's put out before the fans. (not that it would matter in Canada). Also there are franchises that need to be moved that are not doing so well before we even think of expansion.
Apparently I was out to lunch on the Tampa Bay call! (Next time ill do my homework lol)
