The NFL is down as well and it's simply a sign of the times with lots of competition for the dollar as well with so much TV coverage of sports a lot of people choose to watch on their couch for free as opposed to spending hundreds on a couple of seats for a regular season game. IMO Flames fans are down right now because the team's in the dumps and the city is in a recession. If the Flames were on top of the league right now we wouldn't be talking about how crappy the hockey is. |
I'll have to dig it up ErickEstrada, but they were referring to TV viewership, it's apparently booming.
