Re: Attendance at Pittsburgh
Didn't offer ANY tickets to Pens season ticket holders? Who in the world came up with that bright idea? If you're trying to draw some of the local market, wouldn't it be best to offer them to those who are (supposedly) the most ardent fans of the sport?
Also, it didn't help the TV angle that all of the Lowell fans left after game one, and there were loads of empty seats in plain view of the camera. Sure, they lost, but they also did the same thing in the HE semifinal after they beat PC, mass exodus before the BU-BC semi that left a large chunk of seats open. That one puzzled me...you've already paid for your ticket, you've won your game and now get to see who you'll play in the final, and it's a huge rivalry game, why leave?
