As much as I hate to admit it. The N.H.L would be a huge success. Even Though in my opinion Toronto fans well....suck. Toronto N.H.L #2 would sell out every game..a simple fact...but toronto fans still suck... The What did the Marlies get the last time they played the moose 2300 (anounced) more like 500 acourding to CJOB. The Argos have never drawn well, the Jays havnt drawn flys since the days of the world series. [glow=red,2,300]The Toronto St. Michael's Majors had to relocate to Mississauga cause of the absolutely horrid attendance they were getting.[/glow] For some reason Toronto FC sells out every game? (now that I am confused on), but pretty much its the N.H.L or nothing...You would think in a city of 5.3 million that you would be able to find some decent fans to support local sports.. their rink only sat about 1800. picture your local arena with bleachers 20 high all the way around. very small. but i loved going there.

Its not fair that we here in St. John's had to lose the AHL so Toronto could have it that video poisons me to death. This place LOVED the Leafs, and now they are up there where nobody cares about them. Screw everything about Toronto. Alex, what kind of attendance did St.Johns get for AHL? Seems like the perfect AHL market to me and I'm sure attendance there was higher than the Marlies are getting.

Argos games are only a few thousand off of sell outs. Kind of playing fast and loose with the word 'few' there, aren't we? Over the last five years or so a bit of research has shown average attendance at Argos games to be floating around 25-30 thousand in a stadium that holds 54,000. Not the embarrassing crowds of 15-18K they had in the past but certainly more than a few thousand short of sellout territory. Rogers Centre holds 31,000 for football.

True,the Argo's dont use the entire Roger's Centre,It's the same type of deal the Moose have for the MTS centre.......To me these are just phantom sellout's,for me as long as unused seats are still in the building,it will never be a true sellout.
