They moved from Winnipeg in 96 in hope to get bigger profits and success and what we saw in those years in Arizona was one WCF appearance in 2012

Hence why they are overcharging for tickets in a college rink

Can’t they send the blues to the west 
dim kettle
Arizona like Florida just don't care about the local teams when they're shit to mediocre. There's just so many more options to pay with the entertainment dollar in those areas.
And the problem is when the Jets moved in 96 and they also took their dumpster fire culture with them.

hence why I am rooting for the very very much impossible likelihood of a Saskatchewan team
Old Jets were real bad

We could say the same thing for Houston. New Orleans is west to Houston which that's about 376,971 in that city alone. And that's not counting the 4.624 million in the state of Louisiana alone. And that's also not considering how big Texas is.

That’s still a big gamble. Diehard fans are hard to find. In Quebec you have a guaranteed market ready

Along with some concerts and a ufc fight. For hockey mods it probably holds around 17-18k
