I think it sounds a lot worse than it actually will be. Make no mistake, it'll be unusual ... but if the Tempe proposal is approved this summer, I don't think it'll be perceived as much stranger than when the Lightning played at the Trop and the Raptors played at the Skydome. Temporary.

Temporary, yes. But also the first years of brand new franchises, not years 26-28.
The Skydome also allowed them to draw 34000+ fans for certain Raptors games...

The Raps were actually 3rd and 8th (out of 29) in league attendance their first two years.

But like ... how many NHL arenas sell seats in the 13th row of the lower bowl for less than $89?

There are hundreds of lower bowl seats for tomorrow night's game available for $89-99.

Those 4k probably won't be stoked that the arena is moving 25 miles away...roughly Bridlewood to Balzac.
