Thats the only part I don't like, Oilers fans are willing to pay through the nose to come down to the Dome and make it less of a home game.

I don't think there are a ton of traveling fans. I think there is a huge chunk of local Oiler fans. Either transplants who moved for work, or people who grew up here but were fans from the 80s Oilers dynasty.
The series will be a slog, and I'm not thrilled about having 25-30% of the Dome be Oiler fans. I'm mostly worried about fan violence in and around the Dome though. I hope people can understand it's just a game, but the handful of times I've been to the Oiler rink and the regular season Oiler games at the Dome tell me that people sometimes fish for altercations.
