GLENDALE, Ariz —
My dear friend, Bill Scardefield, won’t like this post one bit.
Of the four games played in the NHL on Wednesday, Jan. 23,
only one did not sell out — the Phoenix Coyotes hosting the Columbus Blue
Jackets. Only 8,355 people showed up at the Jobing.com Arena in Glendale, Ariz.
With that figure, only 48.8 percent of all seats in the arena were occupied.
What continues to happen in Glendale is embarrassing. These
crowds are putrid — and are again a reminder of how unstable hockey in Arizona
really is.
The crowd isn’t the worst the team has seen, however.
Last year, 6,738 showed for the Coyotes’ seventh (of 41) game
of last season.
