Think about it this way their is a lot of family's or couples in Winnipeg that haven't seen pro hockey since 2011 due to low supply and high prices. A ton of Jets wait listers (8k) that may settle for the AHL while they wait for the call. Alot of die hard Jets fans that Can't get enough and couple that with casual game attenders I cant see why they cant sit middle of the pack in terms of attendance. The experience is gonna be so much better for the Moose fans this time around. It's a farm team for the pride team of the city, playing in more of an NHL caliber building (If that makes sense to you), Way more affordable ticket prices. The only downside to this is that 15,000 potential paying hockey fans are already paying big money for the jets and the moose wont be the Stars of Winnipeg's Winter sports scene this time around.
