^Yeah they're clearly following the model of the Jets/Moose and San Jose Sharks (which TN modelled their business after) by building up numerous surrounding businesses to keep money flowing in from non-hockey related revenues. In the NHL, lots of teams are starting to do this as they don't have to share NHRR with players. It's smart.

I think a shuttle to/from Polo Park would be smart. Work out a deal with the mall. Central for people in the city, don't have to pay downtown prices, and comfortable for out-of-towners. Most WHL games are on weekends, and Polo closes at 6 on Sat/Sun, so I'm sure they could strike a deal.
