Maybe it was the nice weather, or the 67s got lost in the intense marketing of the Fury and the Redblacks, but I'm a little surprised the crowds were that low. It is true that ticket/concession/parking prices are quite a bit higher than in the past, so that may have played a role.
Though there isn't a whole lot different in the arena, I thought it looked a lot nicer with the new paint and floors. The curtaining off of the top rows creates a more intimate and balanced feeling. The new video board is a huge improvement, though it takes some getting used to, with the scores to either side.
The team still looks like a work in progress, but they do have a few players that will be great to watch, which is what you really look for in a junior hockey team.

Thanks Giving long weekend is the reason for low attendance.
