When Sens sees that list they’re gonna rip out another 1,5k seats to be on top
Opened this wondering how much farther the panthers were gunna be than the rest of the league and did not disappoint.
Didn’t realize panthers were so far. That being said they’re in a huge metropolis probably still people everywhere. Always heard Ottawa was basically playing in the sticks.
It’s almost like NHL franchises should know exactly how this is supposed to be set up…
Huh? The Wild are in downtown not .4 miles away.
Edit: Center of downtown? Sorry to be annoying this is actually interesting info, but it is reddit so being annoying is my duty.
IMO the Islanders are not a NYC team they are a Long Island team IDK where you would say “downtown” is for Long Island. While UBS isn’t centrally located it’s easy to get to from all three major highways on Long Island plus the LIRR.
Edit: Rangers are in Midtown not downtown
Looks like a lot of full barns. Good for the sport
Sunrise is really fucking far from majority of the fan base. I’m looking at an hour each way from Palm Beach and that’s with minimal traffic. With that said it’s a really nice area but with nothing but an outlet mall and a chic filet
I would be curious to see how they are measuring « distance from downtown » as if you asked me today where the Sharks’ arena is located I would have said « right at the edge of downtown. »
Am I the only one perturbed by the spelling of Sabres?
The bruins are in north station though??? What’s counted as downtown, City Hall??
For the islanders is it downtown NYC or elmont?
I’m glad the Panthers attendance has improved this year, I was worried about them since they play at least 30 minutes outside of Miami
It’s an interesting premise, but the fact of the matter is that the teams on the far right are there because they have a history of *sucking shit:*
* Florida’s found some success of late, but they were completely irrelevant for a generation. They failed to win a playoff series for 26 years, including a stretch where they missed the playoffs entirely 18 out of 21 years
* The Coyotes made it out of the first round *one time* in their 28 years in Arizona. Excluding the Covid season where they benefited from the expanded playoff format, Arizona has missed the playoffs for the last 10 years, and 17 of the last 21 seasons. Like Florida, irrelevant for a generation
* We all know about Ottawa since 2017, not to mention the anti-Melnyk revolt
* Carolina’s been competitive for the last 6 seasons, but missed the playoffs 13 out of 15 seasons (including 9 years in a row) immediately before that
I lived in Ottawa in the Sens heyday, and they had no problem filling the barn when they weren’t awful. Likewise, the Carolinas and Floridas and Arizonas of the league do just fine at the gate when the team isn’t shitting itself on the ice. It’s just been rare for much of the existence of these teams.
Not shocking but really interesting to see the data!
My only criticism is a lot of these teams within .5km of downtown *are* within their city’s ‘downtown’ boundaries, the Leafs are for sure anyway. Out of curiosity is the downtown Toronto point Yonge & Dundas or Nathan Phillips?
It’s Sabres god damnit.
Ottawa’s stadium is out in the middle of fucking nowhere, like, you go my miles of basically empty fields and suddenly BOOM there’s a stadium on the side of the highway. It’s so ridiculous.
As a former resident of Downtown Ottawa (Elgin St), the sooner the better the Arena gets moved to Lebreton. It’s a ballache to get to and it’s no craic when you’re there.
No sense of a game being on in Ottawa then they play.
When you see what it’s like walking to and from games at Lansdowne for RedBlacks games, it’s a no brainer to get ‘er built.
The canes can just be taken out of this analysis completely because our downtown is not exactly the population hub of this sprawling suburb we call a city.
What are you using as the Islanders downtown?
I didn’t realize what the Canes had was weird until I lived elsewhere.
Now I totally get it. There is almost nothing around PNC, save for a few small restaurants. Thankfully the owner is working to fix that
Fuck all to do in Minnesota but watch hockey I guess
How did you identify the center of downtown? Also, I’d be curious to see how that location compares to the center of a city’s population distribution. Cool data!
I don’t understand this. Pizzarena is in downtown and sells out every game
Does this help answer why no one went to Coyotes games? The arena is 45 minutes outside of the city. Hockey belongs in the desert… but just not in the middle of the desert
What’s considered downtown for the islanders? If it’s Manhattan it doesn’t really correlate to a large percentage of the fan base.
