Question Columbus Too Small

isnt Columbus sorta small to support an NHL team ?

Houston or Seattle maybe ?

Simon my multiple posting, Blue Jacket supporting friend...I believe in anothe one of these Blue Jacket posts, Lefty Noob pointed out the attendance figure of the Blue Jackets and it was impressive +17,000 avg if I remember correctly...help me out here Lefty...so it seems that they have a decent fan base...and hey, they haven't even been to the playoffs....soooo, it can only get better....

...As we are not a might and proud franchise yet...begging is nit out of the question...

Re: Columbus Too Small

there is no place too small for hockey - there are only minds too small for hockey.

Re: Columbus Too Small

Ask and you shall receive, Gotham.

Team Year G Total Average
Columbus Blue Jackets 2000-01 41 715,738 17,457
Columbus Blue Jackets 2001-02 41 743,576 18,136
Columbus Blue Jackets 2002-03 41 727,522 17,744
Columbus Blue Jackets 2003-04 41 712,145 17,369
Columbus Blue Jackets 2004-05 SEASON CANCELLED

Those are from the Sports Attendance Database; I had to go to ESPN.com to find this year's figures, which had the Blue Jackets averaging 17,339 fans per home game this year -- good for 15th in the NHL, and placing them above Calgary, Boston, Atlanta, Phoenix, Buffalo, Washington, the Islanders, Chicago, Nashville and Carolina, among others.

See, Gotham, I have bestowed onto you, a legion of fans!! Now, it's up to you to keep us coming back!! Oh yeah, is there bonus points, shirts, or maybe you have an extra pair of your tights, I mean expandable protective clothing, for bringing in new clients?

What's up with this? I come over, I'm trying to learn, I even posted, and nothing - nobody even replies! Oh, maybe everybody put me on ignore since I'm ignorant to this sport!? Then again, even Simple Simon hasn't returned, oh yeah, that's right, I'm probably on ignore, well carry on.

Now, now Yatesie...I believe the post veered off into the valley of expandable protective clothing ...and well, I had to give it some thought...maybe if we re-cast the Batgirl role now...

So, you wanna talk hockey...okay...go clink on Yahoo...look over the Blue Jackets and you can posts your views on the best looking Blue Jacket out there...(starting you out small)...its something beyond my range to do...come on now, I expect more from you than from Simon...
