STAYING in arizona. the talk of a return to Winnipeg is dead.

figured with everything finalized, this deserved a new thread.

:(

The pressure is now on the Phoenix fans to show that they deserve a team and can show up to support a GOOD team. No excuses now for the team being lousy.

I'm glad for the true fans in Pheonix. It must have been scary as hell for the diehard hockey fans living in AZ. Now that they have a sicknasty team, the fans better show up and prove all the naysayers wrong.

I've been to plenty of Coyotes games at Jobing.com, the place is nearly always sold out.

If there's any team that needs to GTFO, it's the Thrashers.

Which would imply that the arena is even emptier than the sales figures would indicate.

my assumption is those numbers posted are from actual turnstiles. not tickets sold or ducated.

And my assumption is that EVERY team in the NHL will ALWAYS pad their numbers. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it.

We already knew they would be in Phoenix for one more year, the deal was already set in place for the coyotes to be in Phoenix for at least one more year.

damn right. at wings stadium, wed always give sold and ducated numbers.

and if a concert is sold out, you better believe there is a huge block of seats unopened. and trust me, there is nothing you can do about it.

also, dont bother showing up to a venue to get tickets to a popular show and waiting in line for when they go on sale, youll get shitty seats.

ESPN has Jobing listed at around 17510 people so it's not counting half of those sellouts.

Wikipedia has 17,125 as the capacity.

I believe with standing room, it's 17,799.
