That is the Flames MO. Take shortcuts wherever and whenever possible.

I don’t disagree.
Again, I’m not an economist so I don’t know how things stack up today vs 2014. That said, Calgary isn’t the only market that is seeing a drop in attendance. I think I saw daily faceoff post that Montreal, Vancouver,Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Calgary 5 out of 7 Canadian teams) are undersold this season.
