A 2 million people US market is equivalent to a 200 000 person Canadian market. That works in the service industry with tons of nights/evenings and makes no money.
This has disaster written all over it. Selfishly it sounds like a great idea for Western Canadians, going down south and catching a Flames/Oilers/Canucks/Jets game on a weekend, but in reality selling out 41 games per year is not going to work.
The Tampa Bay Rays is a great comparison.
