Home opener almost sold out

Given the tenor of this board, I think it’s a little surprising that less than 1000 seats remain for Thursday’s game.

Going to a game with cheap tickets is a nice thing to do when there is nothing to do.

Selling out the arena for the opening game is not an achievement,  especially when a quarter or more of the fans are rooting for the visiting team.
 

Regardless what the announced attendance was for games last year, when I watched the games I saw a lot of empty seats that belied the announced tickets sold. When a person has a purchased ticket and can’t go to the game and can’t give it away, that is telling and an indictment.

I want the Sabres to succeed and am rooting for them. But what I see is what I see.
