The tough aspect of using attendance figures is they are subject to ‘abuse’ – the gate being padded by giveaways, massive discounted blocks sold to corporate buyers using them as a marketing plan (the nosebleeds in the saddledome are an excellent example)
So the numbers on this panthers list really need to be taken with this in mind – the relatively mild swings and surprisingly higher than expected numbers overall are likely very different from the reality in the building.
The Panthers are having the revival the NHL has been hoping for the Coyotes to have for years now, and they did it in just a few weeks.
The Devils capacity acording to Wiki is 16,514
Important to note that the Prudential Center’s capacity in Jersey is 16,755
I was wondering do you think that the old panthers logo is better (the jersey you were wearing) or their current logo
I feel Carolina should pretty much always be used as the prime example of how on ice success is more important than anything else in terms of getting people in seats. When they had that 8 year streak of missing the playoffs by the end of it they were frequently near the bottom of attendance and people would talk about them as a potential team to move. Now you'd look crazy if you suggested they need to move.
This reminds me of Bart writing on the chalkboard
Let's Go Panthers !!!!! You're doing a great job Shannon.
Matthew Tkachuk has completely changed the outlook of the franchise. You could even argue that he has saved us. Forget that he’s a superstar player in the league, but he’s a freakin goldmine and one of the most marketable players in the game right now with his personality and on ice “antics” if you will. He’s not only growing the game in Florida but he’s growing the league in America to those who aren’t hardcore fans. For example, who would’ve thought that an NHL player would be a guest panelist during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals??? Insane. I, as a Panthers fan and an NHL fan, was smiling ear to ear the entire pregame show with NHL Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk talking it up with Shaq, Chuck, Coach Van Gundy, etc. I didn’t even care what they were talking about I just loved that on national television, to an audience that mostly doesn’t watch hockey, you had legends of the NBA and a big personality in Tkachuk talking about the NHL and the Florida Panthers. UNREAL!!!
I didn't trust Maurice at all during the regular season (and still don't just yet), but holy moly is he a good playoff coach or what!
Hopefully they get into the playoffs next year aswell.
In the future all away games will be available to watch at home arenas via advanced holograms streaming to another stadium. Revenue.
Holy crap hockey guy, u love and are really good at writing on ur board 😆
Great video and extremely informational! It’s nice having someone recount the history of Florida! Been following hockey closely for almost a decade and never knew more than half of this info about the Panthers.
Joel Quenneville deserves a lot of credit on being part of Florida Panthers rebuilt and transformation.
Honestly this is what is so frustrating about the “MOVE THEM” crowd. It takes a combination of a good owner with deep pockets and some sustained success for a team to grow and see if a market will support them. People forget these teams don’t have 50 years of history and they’re playing markets where hockey wasn’t the sport of choice and in markets where there are a lot of transplants who if hockey fans liked their own teams. But now there are kids who grew up with these teams who are adults with serious spending power and they are fans of these teams and they want to love them and support them. It takes time but now its happening and its good for hockey.
Very Solid team, reminds me of the 2012 Kings, winner of Vegas and Dallas will be a tough test tho. Great video!
I’m pretty sure the Jets arena is just really small like it’s only 15,300+ seats.
I love Hockey Guy. What I'm about to say is totally from a place of love. I have never seen a guy look like an old man and a toddler at the same time. Until I saw him.
First and foremost Shannon, thanks so much for your attention to detail and going this far in depth as to what has plagued this team. I do believe that those dark days are over, I have faith that hopefully that in the next following years that this current stability will extend into being a very respectable franchise like my neighbors over in Tampa Bay.
After this season if the Panthers aren't sold out at home I don't think anything can make them sell out a crowd for an entire season. I've been following the Panthers for years but not directly watching until last year. Much of my family has been fans of the Panthers since the inaugural season going to at least a game each season. Even purchasing season tickets a few times going to every game. This team really is proof that people don't want to see a bad team play, especially in a market where it doesn't even snow it's hard to make people care. Talon did help the franchise start to move into the right direction but if it wasn't for Bill Zito this team wouldn't be where it is. He has made moves that show that he wants to compete in the present, and it's shown as the panthers have been competitive every year Zito has been the GM. While yes, he was given a team that was finally able to compete, his choices to build up depth with former high draft pick players who seemed to be on a slump has worked very well. The way that the team scouts out professional talent is by far some of the best professional scouting in the league but because its the Florida Panthers nobody seems to really care. After years and years of "move the team" chants people are finally seeing through the sellout crowds for these playoff games that there is a reason this team is in the bright and beautiful Sunrise Florida.
shame that the Miami arena was constructed that way. Good location though. Current arena is nice but way north and against the swamp. Shannon – as we have been watching the Dallas-Vegas series, do you think the Cats have a strong chance of winning the Cup?
You're wearing the Florida Jersey with my favorite Panther logo. I think the team learned how to come from behind this year, and I'm happy for Maurice, been a fan of his since the Carolina days. Love your content, thanks for your dedication.
Resign Gudas, and then sign Soucy. And they'll be ready for another run
Last year they looked at strong through the regular season n rd1 the looked underwhelming for rd 2…. not necessarily bad just underwhelming and opponents were clicking
This year they struggled for large portions of season , crept in……been playing probably the best most consistent hockey of anybody… 3 tough series but they were consistent, playing tough playoff hockey, keeping secondary chances down , boxing out well, and Bob has been good , many layered defence….speed consistent forecheck up and down the ice
Regardless of layoff, I still think they are the favorites to win
If playoff hockey teaches us anything, it's unpredictability
Part of the issue with FLs attendance I think is location. Ive been a fan since the team came into the league and honestly getting to games at the old Miami arena wasnt that bad. Sports bars would have buses running from them to the game, theres the metro rails people could take etc etc. Once they moved to FLA Live way back then it just became kind of a pain, it was about an hour each way driving to get to and from games. For weekend games it wasn't that bad, but it was still out in the middle of nowhere and honestly you can really only go to Sawgrass Mall so many times before it just becomes a hassle of walking through crowds of people on a weekend just to kill some time before a game. There is absolutely nothing appealing about going to their arena, unless you live in the immediate area, and for a team whos original purpose of moving there was to pull from palm beach, broward, and miami counties.. thats not a good thing.
People in Miami have options, and realistically driving an hour each way to see a mediocre hockey team (historically) is not at the top of the list when they look at their options. Especially with Miami (most of south Fl really) probably being one of the biggest bandwagon cities for sports. If a team is bad they will let them know, if a team is good they will let everyone know they were there.
I agree with Shannon, in the past you had poor management. poor in bad choices at times, and also having that lower cap ceiling than most other teams( financial)
It seems the last few years they have stronger ownership
I'm thinking, the 3 teams that they beat, are rethinking, how poorly they played against Florida….maybe they were just playing a higher level, a devil may care
I really hope Florida can keep going with this momentum. If they win the cup this year, I can see them going for 1 or 2 more in the next 5-8 years.
