all I would say is that I like the idea of a small intimate rink - but the first team that moved this way would be bold, and I am not sure how you do that in the context of a league.
for me, I watch less sports because I am generally taking my son someplace or pursuing my own interests/hobbies
it costs a lot to go to a flames game for example. now I could opt to buy less expensive seats, but then why not just stay home - watch it on HD and then bail if the game is boring.....also no lineups for the bathroom, I have prime parking at home etc.
it would be interesting to know if this market (or how many NHL markets) in particular could bear ticket prices at a 10,000 seat rink that generate as much cash flow as the current rink (~19,000 seats)
