Well, it has a few more head offices than some other cities, although still not very many. And they aren't really the kind of head offices that have big entertainment budgets. So it's a fair question. But in my experience Winnipeggers have a lot of pride and it's likely that smaller businesses will pay for boxes that in other cities could be sold only to much larger companies. It's more a question of whether this kind of support is going to be sustained after 5-10 losing seasons when the next recession rolls around. I can't see how Winnipeg could be a worse gamble for the NHL than Nashville or Columbus, though.
