The FPHL’s smallest arena is 700 people. It’s a business model that can work here, and if we can’t get 700 people consistently to games then no one should ever try again


Surely the river center would charge significantly more to lease so not so fast.


They need much more than 700.

I’d imagine so, but the point was that the FPHL operates on a VERY small budget compared to the ECHL. Also, Barry Soskin is probably the right guy to bring a team here and sustain it for a while.

If we had 700 season ticket seats paid for year in and year out, we probably hit 1000-1500 paid in most games and higher in any playoff game. I’d think that’s lowballing, too.

Soskin knows what he’s doing. He sees profit here. Or just loves hockey enough to make it work.
