Not good for fans of those sports, but I wonder if hockey would get a nice (and hopefully permanent) boost in interest if both of the other leagues don't start on time.

No. Hockey will never be more than a red headed step child sport south of the mimik curtain.quote:Originally posted by billhike:

Not a judgement on hockey, just the facts. Whatever happens to basketball and football won't matter.

Pollyanna at it's best. Ticket prices will never go down. They will always be what the market will bear. This is only about how much of the pie each side gets.quote:Originally posted by Ed Bowers:quote:Originally posted by DoubleD:

Love to see them both fail this year. Maybe then there will be a realist salry paid to these guys. $ 25 milllion for a few games is insane.
Then maybe ticket prices will go down. A family of four going to a Fins game can easily drop $ 250+. Sort of precludes a nice day out

This is not true. The Red Wings do not outdo the Lions even now. It may be Hockeytown, but I still consider the Tigers & Lions to be bigger than the Red Wings. I know the Lions had issues with not selling out games over the past few years, but that is due to Millen sucking the life out of the team, fans, etc. If they have half a pulse (which they do now), the support for the team is huge. Once the Lions get into the playoffs and make a run (yes, I'm a believer!), that town will go bananas.

Don't fool yourself that ticket prices will be affected in any way by any of this.

One can always dream. I just never understand why people think anyone should take less money than they can get.quote:Originally posted by Ed Bowers:
