Red Wings stadium experience is ranked 88th... lol that is a joke.

Still pretty cool tho can't believe this is the 8th year they have done this and this is the first year I've seen these ranking.

^^ Yes it is a joke. It is probably low because it's not a new arena with a ton of amenities. But as far as game experience, it's second to none.

Won't argue much with the rest.

The bluejackets fell from 31 to 96. I remember a few years ago they were in the top 5 I believe for stadium experience.

Hey, that's 10 spots higher than the Pirates' ownership!!! I was surprised how high they were ranked...and then saw they were top 10 in affordability and stadium experience. I can buy that...although I think things should be weighted more on on-field product, with things like that being bonuses. I mean, when I think of "franchise rankings", I don't know that my goal is to watch my shitty team get hammered 100 times a year...but at a cheap price in a great stadium.

They might have the best arena (not anymore since Consol Energy Center is about to open) but the crowd is always dead unless big time teams come in aka. The Penguins, and Orginal 6 teams.
