Wouldn't the fact that we got 30k downtown for an event that wasn't a parade, in a venue that had no real ability to hold that many people, for a season that we didn't even win, actually be more telling that we would be able to fill 35k McMahon stadium if we actually won.

To compare the Stampede Parade usually gets around 350k. IMO if the Flames won a cup it would be a bigger deal then that and you would get at least that many people.

Won't be as big as Chicago, but the population of the Chicago metro area is 10 million so of course it won't be close.
