    It’s loser stuff.

    Get the STH base way back up. Make it so those STH’s don’t want to sell their most valuable tickets.

    You do that by being a good hockey team, not through artificial market restraints. We’re not Florida or Tampa, ffs.

    Nah. You’re way off base here. The most important aspect of the situation is what those marginal dollars mean to the STH. Make WNY a wealthy metropolis and the STH will not be so tempted to claw back some of their money. For many, selling those tickets is probably included in their affordability calculation and that has nothing to do with how good the team is.

    Just playing devil's advocate here to show how much we DON'T know:

    1.  A new renovation of the arena helps the sale price.  (So does a new stadium in OP for the Bills.)

    2.  Profit and appreciation are not the same thing.  Few sports teams are profitable.  The appreciation is what makes money.

    3.  This one is just speculation--and not idle or mean or anything like that--but just speculation.  None of us really know, yeah?

    Prove number one. For this suggestion to make sense he would need greater than 100% return on his investment. That’s the equivalent to a perpetual motion machine. Just keep spending money on the team and you’ll get more money than you spent in return.

    You will just have to stand outside of the United Center and tell me then. I couldn't believe how massive that building is, in every dimension. It's footprint alone is 33% larger.

    I've stood outside of it, and walked around it, many times.  Did you read my edit about 5 posts above?  

    Half of my family lives outside of Chicago.  I'm pretty familiar.


    Because we’re talking area here, the dimensions are only approximately 15% larger.

    As a courtesy to the other board members, please use more descriptive topic titles. A single name if far too vague to post as a title and provides little insight into what specifically the post is talking about.The topic starter can edit the topic title line to make it more appropriate.

    Thank you.
