I think Calgary vastly overestimates itself as a market, actually. They go full rebuild and you think this place will be sold out? Nah.

If they’re open about it and can bring in some exciting young talent for fans to watch then absolutely I do.
You fill the seats by selling your product to fans. Fans buy one of two things: success or hope. Right now the Flames don’t have either.
I can tell you right now I am beyond excited to watch Wolf and Coronato tonight. I wish I had tickets to this game. I swore off Flames games in February. I doubt I’m alone.
Yeah, they’d probably see a slight drop in attendance but it wouldn’t be catastrophic. I vehemently disagree with you that this isn’t a good market. Considering all the crap we’ve had to put up with I’d say it’s an amazing market.
