Thats the Lightnings (and several other franchises) problem too. Very hot n cold.. and a attendance to match.
Example:... I am going to see the Senators vs LIghtning in Tampa on 4/8. I am 5 rows back from the ice... and right near center... normally.. that would be impossible (and really expensive) tix to get right? Less than $200 (still no chump change I know... )... Im not sure if thats entirely a factor of the economy.. or if its just fairweather fans. They do have a lot of FSU fans down there.. I guess that explains it. :) On Tue, Feb 23, 2010 at 3:20 PM, <oli...@bobparks.com> wrote: > Probably. I really wouldn't bet on making the playoffs either. They run too > hot and cold.
