Re: [Hockey] Official~ NHL thread...........scores and highlites

said by J E F F4:

The place holds roughly 7,200 + 500 (standing room). That's a cool $160,000 (if no one is standing) per game for junior hockey.

It's actually 6200 plus 700 standing (and I think they lost seats when they did the expansion, no?), but your point is otherwise correct. The IceDogs cost roughly the same here in St. Cats, but they still sell out every single game in what is otherwise the oldest arena (and a deathtrap) in all of the CHL.

No, it was 6,200 (+400) last year. They started adding seats after the last season and it's 7,200 + about 400 for standing.

They lost seats back in 2001 (about 500) when they build the box seats, they gained 400 seats in 2008 for the Memorial Cup, then they added 976 this year.
