That is gonna be one long drive to Las Vegas to see them when they relocate in 6 years.

Because clearly Winnipeggers won't support this team. :rolleyes:
When your sold out arena still ranks in bottom 10 for attendance won't matter.

Attendance doesn't matter as much as ticket revenue.  The Jets should be in the 10-15 place in the league for revenue.

You don't need to be #1 to be a success.

I'm glad canada got a new team (even if it will make BB insufferable for a while) but i fell bad for the players. Going from warmth to to a frozen wasteland in the winter. That and the first years travel will be hell (and once the conferences are reshuffled it won't be too much better).

I'm sure traffic is much less an hassle in Winnipeg then it is in Atlanta. I guess it's an improvement.

What will be an improvement is playing in front of a roaring sold out arena night after night.  What will be an improvement is being the undisputed stars of the city.

Some players may not like it.  Attracting free agents will be an issue.  But if your plan is to build through the draft you should be okay.

Yeah, see, if Winnipeg was an American city the Jets would now be second fiddle to the CFL team.  :lol:

17 minutes to be precise. :yeah:

And now 14,000 on the waiting list! :yeah:

I'm considering putting my own name down on the wait list.  If tickets are that crazy, it might be worth it so in 2020 I can get season tickets, go to 4-5 games, and be confident I could sell the remaining tickets at at least face value. :hmm:

Cost is $100 / year.

I was mistaken on the waiting list - they capped it at 8,000.

But WTF - how can you cap a waiting list?  I was going to put my name on that list, just so I could support the team in some tangible manner. :mad:

But why would the CFL be in an American city? :wacko:

Attendance figures for most US cities are a well known falsehood.

I was referring to the Tim-like construction of the post.

Winnipeg cannot into NHL?

I just wanted to remind some of you who wrong you were. :hug:

Unfortunately with it being Thanksgiving and all, I won't be able to post endlessly about the game.

But just know that I'm enjoying every minute of watching THE WINNIPEG JETS!

Proper Holidays are either on the 25th or a Sunday/Monday combo.
