I still don’t get that they still attract smaller crowds as the Essar. Lowering ticket prices may win back fans.
Its a great thing to do especially the way the local ecomony is. Also it has always been hard to support two jr . teams since day one when the rapids teams started the jr b league in the late 60s . Now maybe then can drop the price of popcorn city appreciation for the nov . month . Lol
