Winnipeg knows how to support a team. I hope Bettman likes the feeling of all those Jets hockey sticks being shoved up his ass. Hopefully the city will drop this $175 million+ stadium and build a new arena so we can sell 30,000 tickets for Jets games. :3 |

I can also fucking guarantee you that it'll be a Winnipeg White Out in the first fucking game, and no matter what the name of the team, everyone will be chanting "Jets" the entire length of the game. Those Thrashers will feel like gods. |

MTS Center will be the home arena of the team for many years to come. It's a relatively new facility, it still has outstanding debt, and Chipman believes that a 15,000 seat arena is appropriate for a market of Winnipeg's size. Sure, tickets will be hard to come by for the next four or five years. But Chipman is thinking long term; it just doesn't make sense for the smallest market in the NHL to build a new arena. |

But they COULD full it had they had the foresight to make out bigger back when they built it... and built it in an area of the city where parking isn't at a premium, and only getting smaller as time goes on. |

Again, they built it with a future NHL franchise in mind from the start. The arena is 15,000 seats because True North thinks that is the correct number of seats for a market the size of Winnipeg. The honeymoon period will wear off, and there'd be plenty of empty seats in the barn if they had put 18-20 thousand seats in it. Take it from an Avs fan. We sold out every game for FOURTEEN STRAIGHT YEARS, which is an all-time record. But then our stars started departing, the Nuggets started winning, the Avs started losing, and now we're only filling 80-85% of the seats. Everyone is confident that the Avs will sellout again when they start winning again, but the availability of seats has driven down pricing for the tickets that do get sold and the team makes less money. |

So supposedly, there was 248,000 requests for season tickets during the pre-sale. Which is ONE-THIRD the population of Winnipeg. I bet Bettman is kicking himself right now. |

When the fuck are they announcing the team name? I am now thinking it will either be "Winnipeg Jets" due to some internet trademark sleuthing or "Manitoba Jets" due to what some reporter thinks it will be. |

Looks like they're going with Winnipeg Jets: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=6700915 Probably announced tonight at the draft. Also, they've hired Claude Noel as their first coach: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=6700450 Noel coached the Manitoba Moose in the AHL last year, and has NHL experience as head coach of the Columbus BlueJackets. |

As good as the old ones were, its a fresh start with a new team... and True North didn't even have to keep the name. I like that they pay some homage to the air force. |
