We've seen this in both cities. Edmonton fans sell out last place team home games. That does not happen in Calgary.
It's easy as fans to want that when you don't foot the bill.

Do you know that for certain? In fact, I would say the reason Edmonton had sellout crowds despite a decade of crap up to that point, is because they ended up getting one of the most exciting players in the game.
If there's an actual plan and hope in development, with entertaining play, the fans will come even if they lose more times than win.
