IceGators vs Huntsville Havoc

[janet]

Lighten up. I just said they were not to nice. Until Mr. Smith pushes the panic button I'm not going to worry about attendance. If we were winning you could easily add 2,000 more people to our average. BTW Huntsville is exactly packing them in. You know glass houses...

Wow....a little touchy are we? My post said NOTHING about attendance. However, I think I'll take OUR attendance over YOURS any day of the week & twice on Sunday for good measure.

TEAM TOTAL GAMES AVERAGE
Huntsville 43,070 13 3,313
Fayetteville 37,621 12 3,135
Knoxville 30,139 10 3,013
Pensacola 28,750 10 2,875
Columbus 26,475 11 2,406
Mississippi 26,255 12 2,187
Louisiana 26,152 14 1,868

3,000 is nothing to phone the NHL about. We use to draw 12,000. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Who is phoning the NHL? Huntsville does well in the attendance for the SPHL....which the last time I looked that's where BOTH teams we're talking about are currently playing. You're comparing apples to oranges. You USED to play in the Cajundome, NOW you don't. You USED to draw in large numbers of crowds, NOW you don't. The past is the past. Your current IceGator franchise has NOTHING to do with the old one, except sharing a name.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

You're quite welcome! Anything I can do to help!

Perhaps you could provide us the history of the Channel Cats, Blast and the Tornado and why they failed in Huntsville?

You might have just got caught in the line of fire. I was a bit offended by the Havoc board and how they were writing off the IceGators and how we should be kicked out of the league for not being B2 ready. I want to see hockey successful throughout the South including Huntsville Alabama. I don't under stand why your fans were being ugly.

The former teams in HSV have come & gone for a variety of different reasons. Like I said earlier, LA is the ONLY team in the league that opposing fans have had a hard time getting updates to the games. HSV fans aren't the only fans in the league that have had something to say about it. Something has been said on EVERY message board I read about the lack of B2 or any audio availability. The improvement of pointstreak has been at least a positive. If we take Danny at his word, then I'd suspect after January 4th, opposing fans won't have anything to complain about regarding being able to keep up with their team in LA.

You can take him for his word. Believe or not but those of us that live far away would also like to see the games. We have complained on here and our owner has answered. Blackham was built I believe in the late 50's and hasn't been used for major sporting events since the early 70's. Not much need for the internet for rodeos etc... Danny Smith is taking a long term approach and so far has kept his word about everything that is in his control. So I'm so sorry you can't watch your Havoc, Tornado, Channel Cats or whatever you are calling your team this year. In 3 days it will be fixed.

They are called the Huntsville Havoc, and have been for the last five years. I look forward to the B2 upgrade.

Come on guys...leave Janet alone...y'all know they only reason they get such a good attendance is because there is absolutely NOTHING else to do in Huntsville!! Hehe

I'm only joking Janet...I wish we put numbers like that up each home game!!

But seriously, what else is there to do? ;-)

Methinks that if the won/loss numbers were reversed, so would be the attendance numbers.
