Attendance is one measure, but should be weighed with other factors such as, average ticket price, local TV ratings, sponsorships, arena deals, merchandising etc.
Tampa was 9th in attendance in Jerry's list, but 26th in average ticket prices in 2013 at $102 (Forbes). Calgary was $262.
Anaheim's average attendance above was 15,861, but local TV ratings in 2017 were a miniscule 0.21. Buffalo was 6.43. (Sports Business).
