I think you take the term "soulless" too literally... it doesn't mean they aren't accepting god's salvation or anything.
Moreso to do with hockey..... not really a strong community type place, vs a place like Seattle. Being in a service industry for "sin city" doesn't really build a strong community feeling that will have $100 per game season tickets to a new sport that isn't overly popular.... yes I realize the Wranglers were there for a while.
people like to talk about SJ or LA or other successful south teams, but rather then just blindly say that it can work, its important to ask WHY teams worked here. The "soul" of a team a local team is how the locals will support it...... will a working girl be owning season tickets and heading over to the game after her shift? What is their disposible income? rather then just look at the mean, what is the distribution of income?
or is the target visiting fans from Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Winnipeg? giving away tickets for free? Is it for the locals?
thats personally the reason i just don't see it working.. but oh well, just my opinion
