Here’s some actual numbers. In 2004, it was a grand total of 30,000 people that showed up to celebrate the Flames 2004 run at Olympic Plaza on a Sunday:

How many people do you think would’ve shown up on a weekday during work hours? Maybe half? Now move that to McMahon and not downtown.

Sure that was a cup loss, at a different time and didn’t come with a parade but I think your hilarious outrage at the idea that hey, maybe we wouldn’t be able to fill a far flung stadium (let alone one the size of Soldier Field), is a little much.

Such a meaningless little off the cuff remark and you guys cry foul as if I just called for the Flames to be moved.
Not that it matters since the celebration was downtown and not at McMahon but I believe the 2004 Olympic Plaza celebration was on a Wednesday. The Flames lost on Monday June 7, 2004 and the celebration was Wed June 9, 2004.
