Gothamite Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It wouldn't be right in the desert. It would be in the city.A city that already won't support one of the better teams in the league.

The_Admiral Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 100% full arena every night in an 15,000 capacity arena in city of 1 million where most of the population cares about the sport and team >>>>>> 50% full arena in a 19,000 capacity arena in a city of 4 million where only a fraction cares about the sport and team. The new Colisee is going to be over 18,000 seats, actually, but Quebec City's metro is well below a million (though it's not as if they won't draw from outside the province when possible). ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their metro sizes are pretty much identical actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCall Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 It wouldn't be right in the desert. It would be in the city.Phoenix already has a failing team. Can you please enlighten us on how a second team in a bad market would be a good thing? https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers6884 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Where do you think they would have the new Expos ballpark? Near the future Nordiques arena? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I think Montreal should be a AAA team before it gets a chance at the MLB, build a nice small ballpark that has the abillity to be expanded to 35,000 if the MLB returns. The Mets or Blue Jays would be the logical teams to have their affiliate there. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Where do you think they would have the new Expos ballpark? Near the future Nordiques arena? The Nordiques would play in Quebec City. The Expos would play in Montreal. There was a proposal to build it right downtown a block south/east of the Bell Centre. There is still a big chunk of vacant land there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 ...but Winnipeg is the blight on the NHL according to you?Like Winnipeg isn't a blight on North America in general? I've been to Winnipeg once, a few years before the Thrashers moved north. Maybe my expectations were just really low but I didn't find it to be absolutely terrible!

Sport Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 "Come to Winnipeg, it isn't absolutely terrible" Winnipeg Tourism BoardI would actually love to go to Winnipeg as it's my goal to see an NHL game in every Canadian city. I was hoping to go when the Blue Jackets were in town to play the Jets on December 16, but wasn't in the cards this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might make your goal unattainable. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

That's a long trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
