Oilers fans have always said it's just the suits in Calgary who bought tickets, but to me support is support. Anecdotal "who was in the seats" info is just misdirection.
I'd also suggest many of the "Oilers fans" outside of Alberta are just McDavid fans who are forced to buy a blue and orange jersey.

Wow yeah, the Oilers did have some putrid attendance numbers back in the day. They really are no good.
