Scott also guessed "That's at an average of $75 per seat"; However, there are only two teams near and over that $75 range- the Habs and the Leafs. A better comparison is the two closest teams in market size, the Flames and Oilers, average ticket price are both at $59. So if you put those more reasonable numbers into the equation you come up with $35 million, not $45. An even better comparison is to base it on the markets gross domestic product - per capita. Winnipeg's estimated GDP is $32,102 just below Buffalo's GDP of $32,872. So if we use Buffalo's average ticket price of $36, we get about $21.5 million, no where near that $45 million figure.

To put this all in perspective, the Coyotes average ticket price from last year was $37, and Jobing.com Arena has 2,500 more seats than the MTS Centre. So going on the 97% occupancy guesstimated on the video, and using Jobing.com Arenas capacity at the current average price, we come out with a number just shy of $26 million. This of course is not including the estimated $19 mil having twice the number of luxury boxes could generate.

Tomorrow we will discuss the gift clause and Matt Hulsizers financial commitment to the team.
