nhl-jerseys

Here's the deal. Seattle seems to be agreat place for NHL Jerseys but, thefinancial reality doesn't really add up. The Business sector is definitelythere in Seattle, but are the fans really going to spend 200 bucks a seat towatch a loser for 10 years (Expansion situation)?

In a relocation situation I firmly believethe Wholesale Jerseys will NOT takea team from say, Atlanta and then move them to a question mark city. Atlanta,Phoenix, Florida, and Nashville will be in Winnipeg/Quebec City/Toronto area(possibly Hamilton)/ and the last city will be a crazy location like Houston orMexico or Vegas. If the 10x more popular NBA left the city, It can't really becounted on from the NHL's point of view. Also with Everett, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, and Kennewick all amazingWHL cities, I doubt the NBA Jerseyswants to upset a great situation in the feeder system. I think the NHL inSeattle is a very cool choice, I always have, Vancouver has always lacked atrue rival, but it won't happen for at least 25 years.

I will admit, I never thought of putting ateam in Seattle, but now that i read this I have to say it could work well.Let's get the NBA Jerseys into someof the Northern United States where hockey is bigger because you can actuallyplay it outside. Also opens up the possibility of the SuperSonics returning toSeattle (I'm not a basketball fan but I know the Sonics are important forSeattle) but would a basketball team returning only hurt the new hockey team?

I believe hockey is not doing so well isAtlanta and Phoenix is two-fold 1) None traditional hockey markets and 2) haveto compete with NFL, MLB Jerseys andNBA teams for people to come see, Seattle could get the same problem (savingthe money in hockey season for baseball tickets is what i mean by competingwith the MLB franchises), Vancouver fan here. I'd love to see a team inSeattle, and I can't think the Canucks ownership would have much objection;we're not really quite close enough for the markets to overlap, and I certainlydon't think any substantial portion of Canuck revenue comes from Seattle fansmaking the trip north.
