    I never meant to imply that it was the preference of the fans, but rather the teams. Placing the team in the burbs/outer city limits seems to afford more control/favorable terms, for the NFL teams.

     

    It's the same reason the other three leagues try it, but the NFL's event style schedule typically sees minimal impact, on the attendance.

     

    Take Phoenix, for example. I almost never hear complaints from Cardinals fans, regarding the drive to Glendale. That same commute has the Coyotes bleeding money, and they play a stones throw away.

    Huge difference between 8 games and 41 games. I guarantee that you will hear the exact same song if they move from Glendale to the Scottsdale area.

    Heh. Hockey in Arizona has become an unmitigated disaster. 

     

    While I would say the Coyotes are a complete mess. I wouldn't say hockey in Arizona is a complete disaster. Between the fact that Auston Matthews became a star in Arizona, ASU becoming a pretty good hockey program in the NCAA and former National Champion of the lower rung of college hockey, and high school hockey is becoming a big deal. I would say that Arizona has become a growing state for hockey. Granted the Arizona Coyotes is useless, doesn't mean that Arizona is a disaster. I would say that it is growing up as a state that appreciates hockey. Definitely a lot different from 20 years ago when it was non existent.

    But first, what College Sports would look like in 2100.
