It isn’t.
Yes Calgary has grown. The building has stayed the same size. So, maybe Calgary isn’t as good a hockey market as people think it is. Based on the energy level of the crowds (they suck) and happiness generally of the fan base, personally I think Flames fans are amongst the lowest 1/3 of the NHL. This team gets not a ton of volume support and part of the teams home ice problem is the awkward tension of having an extremely judgmental and quiet fan base sit on their hands.
I just don’t think Flames fans or Calgarians should be patting themselves on the back so much. Like, honestly? Calgarians and Flames fans need to be better.

Calgary is a great market we just have a boring product because of a boring coach's system, Sutter is stuck on winning and once again has sucked in ownership to buy into is BS that's it the only way to the cup. even they forget that pro hockey is about 41 games of entertainment for the ticket holders.
Make no mistake, Calgary has great fans that don't sit on their hands when there's something to cheer about.
