LOL. Tampa used to sell season tickets for like $50 or $60 if you bought a case of Pepsi! hahahaha.
How can you blame the people in Miami. There is literally 1000 things better to do than watch crappy NHL hockey in May.
Not to mention, if you're someone born and raised in Florida (I suppose depending on your proximity to Miami, Tampa, Orlando or Jacksonville), you have all this to choose from:
Miami Marlins
Tampa Bay Rays
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Jacksonville Jaguars
Miami Dolphins
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Inter Miami CF
Orlando City SC
...plus college teams like the Seminoles, Gators, Hurricanes... the A&M teams (can't remember their athletics name right now)... etc etc
All those options, and we're going to ridicule people born and raised in a sub-tropical climate for not watching hockey if they're not winning lol.
I mean, Miami is a major tourist destination, and they wanted to make sure their own fans could attend the game.
I get it, it's weird but somewhat understandable.
Also, you used to be able to get a free pop and a hotdog at the game when you bought a $20 nosebleed ticket to a Flames game. We used to get 10K people in our 19K arena during the Young Guns era.
The lower bowl and lower 2nd bowl were still hundreds...the nosebleeds in Calgary are unlike anything in the league, they are the most nosebleedy nosebleeds. They are so high you can't see the jumbotron and have to look at your grandpa's RCA projection tube TV for replays.

you might be surprised by how few of those teams have games right now lol
besides hockey is better than all of those with the only one close being football and they have hardly any overlap at all. They play 8 home games.

A buddy and I went in on a pair of seasons in the nosebleeds in like 2000. It was about $500 each for the pair, and the Dome was so empty for most games (except leafs, habs, etc), that we used to watch the games from the lower bowl and never had an issue with "hey you're in my seat" or someone wanting to see our tickets etc.
Gave them up in the offseason before Iggy's 01-02 breakout lol.

For us, hockey is better than all those... but not for native Floridaites... Floridites? Floridians? Floridanites? Florides?
Baseball... basketball playoffs... but also just in general throughout the season.
Hard to understand what's going on with the Panthers at the moment. Their fourth line with the over the hill veteran Okposo is their best line, second game in a row. Completely baffling.

He drew in when Bennett went down. One of the many reasons they miss him.

Florida looks like they're starting to find their legs finally. Bennett coming back will put the lines back to normal and should help even more, pending on how his wrist mobility is of course.
must show all Flames games nationally when they play on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays !!!
