I hope that took you a while to find.
I also said (yesterday) that I expected 500 tonight. No promo or advertising-not even the electronic billboards on the highways.
I thought it was sorta cool. Since the Cyclones are now completely secure it was nice to be reminded of the private showings that I used to enjoy at the Gardens Ducks games.
The Ducks would have called tonight's crowd about 2,000. You know...all those corporate and sponsor tickets that never got used. LOL. |

Maybe 3,000. Or 4,000. Who knows? Who cares but you?

My take on 752 is real simple. I would guess that same crowd in 80%
of ECHL/IHL/CHL arenas would become 1600 in the league stats sheets.
We just choose to use REAL math. 1+1+1=3 NOT 4!!! |

| Still with all the weekday games I am very happy with the weekday turnout, this Monday game was an odd one, Wednesday night I am going to predict 1,500-2,000 and anybody can quote me on that, because the last few Wednesdays I have been to its been 2,100 or so. Only one sub 1,000 game with the schedule they have is acceptable with no promos, and winter weather coming down |

It was a whiteout leaving work in Kentucky last night. The roads weren't bad, but from the look of it coming down, I can easily see it convincing a few people to stay home.

That, right there, just about sums it up nicely |

| What a disgrace. We got a winning hockey team and we got only can get 752 people down there? I understand the tough economic times and everything but please! Thats bad. And by the way the AHL is drawing way less in Portland than it was here |

| I don't put much stock in attendance numbers for one night. The overall average is what counts. There are many factors that can make single game attendance look bad. Same can be said for the big game attendance too I suppose but in the end the average is what matters to the suits. What's Donnie's average? He has worked for a few failed hockey teams in the area and another one that could not get off the ground and yet he does nothing but complain about the one who won't give him employment so he doesn't have to run the cotton candy counter at Kings Island. My apologies in advance if that is out of line but I grow very tired of him talking bad about the team and the players. It pis*** him off that they Clones are actually doing well and seem to be well rooted in the city. Get over it Donnie....they are going to be here for a while. |

Hey now!!! The cotton candy counter averages more visitors per day than Cyclones hockey games at USBA.  |

| That's it!! I expected much more from you than that. I suppose I will have to curb my expectations going forward. So much for stimulating conversation. GO CYCLONES!!! |
