Preds attendance poised to climb?
The Preds are reporting via e-mail that only 600 tickets remain for tomorrow’s matchup with the Minnesota Wild (down from 1,600 reported in this morning’s Tennessean). That’s great news for a team that is averaging only 12,853 in paid attendance through 17 home games this season.
Hopefully the typical boost in attendance after football season–coupled with momentum from the new ownership group–will lead to significant increases in attendance the rest of the way.
As an aside, The Tennessean notes that the team’s current lease requires paid attendance of 14,000 per game and that a new lease is awaiting Metro Council and Nashville Sports Authority approval. How did the new lease agreement wind up in a strangely silent limbo the last several weeks?
