They're now around 17,500 - out of which I doubt they get that figure most nights. Tickets sold does not equal attendance.

City of Calgary Population
2006: 1.1 million
2024: 1.7 million
Currently, in a city of 1.7 million people in Canada, they can't sell out. They sold out for 10 years in a city with a much smaller population.
The Flames definitely have an attendance problem. |
The fact that they currently
don't sell out does not infer that they
can't sell out. As soon as the team is competitive, and in the playoffs, it's a safe bet that the arena will be full again.
And a new building will help immensely, too.
