[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 640772, member: 12699"] Yes, Canada and the USA are essentially one sports market but I am not sure how this is even remotely relevant to us discussing cheap tickets and poor attendances in Super Rugby. We could easily support far more NHL teams, it's just the present teams don't want the others coming in on their turf... Btw Rogers just signed a $5 Billion dollar tv deal to show NHL hockey in Canada (Yes I said $5 Billion dollars) Hockey is by far the most popular sport in the country and attendances of our NHL teams are clearly indicative of that. All teams have a waiting list for season tickets and getting tickets to games can be very difficult. Hockey would be popular in Canada whether we had US support or not, that much is certain. I find it disturbing that Super Rugby attendance is so low and think it is indicative of just how fragile Super Rugby actually is. We get better attendances at junior hockey games in Canada than most of your Super Rugby teams get. [/QUOTE]
