    Whether team a team in Atlanta would average 14K, 15K or 17K, it would add more to TV revenue than a team in Columbus does.

    Columbus is Ohio's team.  The entire state follows them, from Cleveland to Cincinnati.  The #19, 32, 36  and 80 media markets combined.

    SJS is the entire Bay area, #10 media market

    ANH is greater Los Angeles, #2 media market shared by 2 teams

    Orlando fans can drive 90 minutes to Tampa to see NHL hockey

     

    Having a team in your metro area creates fans of the entire NHL.  If there is no team, then hockey is ignored.  I was watching the Avalanche - Stars game the other day.....because it was the two best teams in the West.....not because I live in either team's footprint.

     

  2. I lived in Atlanta from 81-98. It has doubled in size since then.  Still get back a few times a year to see family and Georgia Tech football games.  Back in the 90's, I used to split season tix for the minor league Atlanta Knights, front row behind the goal in the Omni which was downtown.

     

    The northern suburbs is the most affluent area in metro Atlanta, and it has a healthy % of northern transplants.  A team would do well there.

     

    If this is a TV revenue decision, there are two big holes in the top-10 media markets for the NHL:

    Atlanta and Houston.
