6000 people taking transit both ways per game is $37,800. If absolutely none of those same users have a monthly pass or ticket books. So maybe 30k?
Hotel rooms for 3/4 of an NHL team and support staff are... 28?
Travelling media that would stay here is... 6?
So for 1.5/10 of the year we have less than 40 extra hotel rooms booked, plus the odd out of town fan.
And it's not 50+ days. Since you can barely convince STH to go to pre-season games, we sure aren't getting tourism dollars here in October.
Free park passes bring more tourism dollars to Calgary than the Flames do.
