What sort of data do you suppose is necessary? The tangible data that I would never bother going to Winnipeg without the Jets and now that the jets are there I'm considering a road trip or taking a flight out there to watch the Flames play the jets??
Is that what you're looking for. Sorry I've not hired an analyst to bring in the number for all you numbers guys. The idiotic thing is calling somebody else or their standpoint idiotic.
This thread specifically is a great example of why this city cant negotiate with the Flames... Too many egos thinking they are smarter than one another.
I never said I was correct in my assertation of facts, I just believe the years Winnipeg were sans Jets, they were worse of than the current era when their team has returned, and I'm sure Winnipeg residents don't mind having them back either. I'm even positive if you asked them, probably about 25% of the residents would say their city is better with them than without. Sure its intangible, but how does somebody really place real world dollars on passion... (i'll save you some googling - You can't)
