This is just all opinion, but BCA is suffering from similar afflictions as KBC. The in-game experience isn’t the lively adventure that it was in the 90s. My family was season ticket holders to Amerks games when I was growing up. It was always lively in there, there was always giveaways and promotions. It was always fun, and the team was generally competitive.
I’d go more often today if tix for lowers weren’t...what...$26 each? That’s $78 for a family of 3, for one night out. Not counting everyone wanting food and drinks. When there’s no giveaways, promotions, and a dead atmosphere...not an ideal way to spend that money. Just to see an AHL team that hasn’t traditionally performed well since the 90’s.
Not sure how profits are divided, but lesser ticket prices generally lead to people spending more on concessions and merchandise, having a better experience, and wanting to go to more games. Which, I’d assume, improve the attendance and atmosphere. The players are making the same salaries whether there’s 900 or 9,000 in attendance.
The Pegulas have shown a lack of creativity and innovation when it comes to these game experiences. You can have a crappy team and still give fans a great experience with a little thought, care, and ingenuity.
