The Sabres recently announced a major renovation to Key Bank Center. When you miss the playoffs for 13 consecutive years, a dip in attendance is to be expected.
Lets say winnipeg builds a 18000 seat arena. Not having 3000 more seats will not break the winnipeg jets. The bottom line is nhl players are over paid. Why would anyone pay a 100 bucks to watch a nhl game.
They very well may move into Chase Center but they would just be renters with no ownership of the building. They could potentially build at the old candlestick site but that would never happen. SAP Center is too new to consider anything but staying.
Exactly. Now that the Coyotes are relocating, one can confirm that the other 31 teams are all playing in adequate facilities or are getting new ones. None of them are at risk of losing their facilities and that is why the NHL was forced out of Atlanta and Phoenix.

The SAP Center is only 8 miles from the 49ers home Levi’s Stadium. The Earthquakes stadium PayPal Park is 2 miles away. San Jose is hardly a one team town.
Not sure where you get your info but Winnipeg is as solid as it gets for NOT relocating anywhere. Why is it even on this list? The Jets have one of the best gigs in the NHL going.
I could never understand why Winnipeg built an arena that barely has 15K seats when all NHL arenas are 18K+. They could have also built an arena that had the potential to be expanded later.
Well the owner of the Jets said earlier in the year that the Jets need to fix their attendance problems to avoid future issues. They lost a bunch of season ticket holders over the last year.
Before the NHL returned to Winnipeg, the city had the CFL, AHL and Independent baseball. The market was balanced and all three teams drew comparable numbers over the course of their respective seasons, around 250,000 per team. The moment the NHL returned to Winnipeg, it became a CLEARLY over-saturated market. Winnipeg has since got a new basketball team in the CEBL - which plays in the Jets' home building - and actually set attendance records for their league in the team's inaugural season. It also has a new CPL soccer team which, given the folding of the franchise in Edmonton, I just don't see the league surviving long-term. If you compare what Winnipeg has compared to the likes of Quebec City and Hamilton, it's plain to see that Winnipeg has more than its fair share of sports teams. Nowhere in Canada is the competition for the sports entertainment dollar more fierce than in it is in Winnipeg, and with post-Covid inflation taking its toll on people's finances, it's going to be a struggle for the market to keep all those franchises profitable. Here's a rough estimation of the total fans required by sports teams in Winnipeg in order to break even in a typical year: Jets: 600,000 Blue Bombers: 250,000 Moose (AHL): 200,000 Goldeyes (AAIB): 200,000 Sea Bears (CEBL): 50,000 Total: 1.3 million fans in a market of 835,000
The Sharks aren't moving. They're entrenched, they are the Bay Area NHL team. The NHL isn't leaving the Bay Area. The attendance is low because the team sucks. When they were good, they sold out the place. And the Warriors aren't sharing their arena without a buttload of money to do so The NHL purposely put their Ohio team in Columbus to avoid the Cleveland vs Cincinnati question, they won't leave either
When you look at a number of markets where the NHL has placed franchises - Seattle, Las Vegas, Columbus, Nashville, Raleigh-Durham - you will notice a common denominator: NON-NBA cities!
But but but our arena is barebones.. This guy has a hard on for arenas. We are a hockey mad market .. put a product on the ice and we will sell out in droves.... So dumb
Dude Wpg has one of the richest men on earth as it’s part owner - that team is never moving. He and The majority owner have said so. And they make bank. They. Aint. Moving. Lol. Great clickbait tho. But stop being such an uneducated RUclipsr. The building has been completely renovated in the last few years and it’s a great place to experience a game.
San Jose Sharks were drawing very well prior to covid and back when the team was competitive. If the one ice product gets better the fans will be back. The owner is committed to being successful. The rebuild is in full swing. They should be fine.
@@stanfordite1 I hope I am wrong, lol. I still follow them even though I'm in Kraken territory now, but the Sharks aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They even have BART headed towards the SAP Center now.
As someone who lives less than two miles from the tank and has been going to sharks games my whole life, I think the sharks main issue right now is that a large chunk of people from San Jose/The Bay as a whole had to jump ship because of a skyrocketing cost of living. It makes it a hell of a lot harder to get a new wave of fans when half of your old guard ain’t there to help bring them in. In conclusion, they really oughta build more houses here so it doesn’t cost so damn much
San Jose has the 49ers so they can handle the Sharks. They need a team that can win 30 games a year at least. 15 wins a season isn't going to draw anyone.
I know buffalos attendance causes worry but they’re still one of the largest tv markets, the team just needs to be not complete garbage for a few years 😂
There are hardly any reasons for the Panthers to relocate. Please do a little bit of research before just looking at pictures of the stadium and coming to a decision.
Second video of his I’ve seen that bashes the Panthers arena just because he doesn’t like it. I get it, I’d rather they play in downtown Miami with the Heat or in a new building next to Hard Rock, but Amerant Arena was just renovated, and the Panthers renovated old Ft. Lauderdale War Memorial Auditorium as their practice facilities. With that and the recent success, this team isn’t going anywhere.
Also, I will come to the defence of Calgary, The money has been approved for the building over a year ago now. just recently begun survey and visiting the site which the arena is going to be built on. It’s not a matter if the Calgary right now it’s a matter of when and I think the when is sooner than you think.
True North owns both the Canada Life Centre & the Jets. The economy in Winnepeg which is why the Jets attendance is down. True north just put $13M in improvements into the arena and srunk the size of the seating bowl from 15,321 to 15,225 by adding a high revenue club option in the end the jets shoot twice. They aren't going anywhere.
Ducks will remain in Anaheim for another 25 years as their new lease was renewed. Also the O.C Vibe is under construction as we speak as the Anaheim Ducks owners have already made the funds to upgrade the surrounding areas. The city of Anaheim has approved the project as they are also funding support of 4 billion.
He also thinks MB stadium is the worst soccer stadium 😆. He rated yankee stadium as better. Having lived in Atlanta and from New York that’s just crazy.
@@Red-Bull-Insider not that good right now??? try 13 years out of the playoffs. And why is it that former players on the Sabres following trades went on to win Stanley Cups with their new teams (Ryan O'Reilly, Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart)? It is because there is a losing atmosphere that permeates the Sabres organization from the top to the bottom. I don't think any players really want to play there
None of those teams are relocating. You just basically read off the bottom teams in this year’s standings. It’s also not a regular occurrence. NFL teams move just as much, if not more. The original Winnipeg Jets became the Coyotes and now are going to Utah. Besides that franchise, there’s been Quebec to Colorado, Hartford to Carolina and Atlanta to Winnipeg. I think that’s it going back to the 70s.
I’m starting to question wether any of these teams need new arenas because I go to the Florida panthers arena all the time and it seems like like a perfectly fine up to date arena. No way they do anything for the next ten years at least.
Makes me believe Depressed Ginger has never set foot in the Bay Area. SJ a “quirky” city? It has the largest population of the three major cities that comprise the Bay Area. The SF 49ers also play in Santa Clara County. The comments about Oakland and the A’s are usually off base. Sharks attendance stinks because the team is bad. It should start coming back next season as soon as the team shows any signs of improvement. Another bizarre and shallow video.
Another thing lots of the teams you’re listing here are going for rebuilds right now. Example the sharks they’re going for a rebuild and they’re in a non-traditional hockey market. The numbers are gonna drop, but they’re not going to relocate there’s more of a chance of the San Jose Sharks winning the Stanley Cup then of the San Jose Sharks relocating and yes, I cheer for hockey team
Amerant Bank Arena is not horrible in the least 💀 the concourse is buzzing, landscaping is nice, nothing is falling apart/old, there’s always something new added each year. it’s just far west
Only place I see them moving is closer to Ft Lauderdale, but they’re filling the stadium. I wouldn’t change anything. Smarter move might be to reduce capacity in the parking lot and make some retail/restaurant/apartments there
This is the same guy who in another video said the Flyers might move to the Sixers new arena at Market East! Is he even a real person, or some sort of AI generated bot that just makes things up?
The Sixers new arena would only be for the Sixers. No way in hell the Flyers are moving out of Wells Fargo anytime soon, especially after recent renovations that were done. Plus the Flyers outright own that arena.
Winnipeg Jets have the richest own in all the NHL, surely he can wrote bigger checks and make his team win a Stanley Cup. He is many times richer than any of the other owner. Even some combined. Don’t believe me that that writing checks works, just keep in mind that the Texas Rangers which were one of the worst MLB teams of all time won a World Series. And it’s all because their owner wrote so many checks to hire the best of the best, that his pen caught on fire.
There is not a NHL franchise with bad ticket/merch sales. A few are having lulls but as others have stated, it's simply due to other factors like team performance. Not because its a bad fit currently. Winnipeg is an exception but even they have taken major steps to ensure 24-25 ticket sales increase
If Anaheim ever moves, they will more than likely move down to San Diego because San Diego is one of the biggest and most untapped markets in North American sports without an NHL team right next to Orange County, as well as the fact that it's a huge hockey market. Their AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, is consistently near the top of AHL attendance.
I would love that haha I would defiantly welcome them with open arms we are desperate for more pro sports teams. We just got an mls expansion team and I already got merch for it when I went to the chrome ball tour. We need more I know greedy but I’m starving for more pro sports teams, NHL and or NBA or even WNBA team. our gulls are great with attendance and we are starving for more pro sports here.
@@bufnyfan1 I would love that so much haha. Just anything at this point tbh tbh idc what lol. I’m just a depressed sports fan starving for more teams haha and when I mean depressed, IIIII, mean depressed depressed :/
@@bufnyfan1 Damn, I really hope so. The Chargers and Clippers should never have moved. They only moved because of greedy owners itching to cash on the far bigger profits in LA.
As a panthers fan, it would make more sense for the arena to be in Miami or ft. Lauderdale then sunrise. Sunrise is very inconvenience unless you live towards sunrise
Miami’s population is majority Latino and Caribbean people. They don’t care about Hockey. That is why the Panthers choose to move to Broward county in the first place.
The Jets also started to sell out again around this past NYE. Their situation is hardly desperate, but of course, some people just have to cause a stir for attention.
No- it was built specifically for basketball. A massive renovation would need to take place if they were to try and put a hockey rink in, along with adding all the systems for it.
Was just at Capital One Arena (D.C.) , it was a dump. Very tight, feels claustrophobic. It seems like crap compared to the Orlando Solar Bears Kia arena in Orlando FL. And that's an ECHL team!
This man just doesn't understand. I'm sure he has never been to San Jose-with what's going on right now there'll be BART coming to the nearby San Jose Diridon Station (SJC), and there's of course, Amtrak, Caltrain and even Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), so strategically there can be fans from Stockton and Merced too. (Let's not forget the VERY SLOW build of the high-speed rail being built in California- San Jose will be its stop when completed, and some will say that Diridon will be the Grand Central Station of the West.) I know, it is a few years of rebuilding and it's the most horrific record ever for the franchise winning only 19 games, but they do have lots of potential and with the current TV right of NBC Sports California what would be a megapolis of San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose-Sacramento-Monterey (and a tiny possibility of Fresno or Bakersfield and even up to Crescent City), hockey is key for the NHL in Northern California, and it's extremely unlikely for them to leave the sixth largest metro population's US Media market. They may not have to attend-they can always follow on TV, radio or online whether or not the team is good. Let us not forget it's growing in the area for talent-this year, there is rookie goalie Devin Cooley playing for the Sharks and he's from the suburb of Los Gatos. It's inevitable-every team will have a down year. But to simply have the Sharks be moving out because of attendance and not so much interest because it was an expected rebuild is sheer ridiculousness. Besides, Hasso Plattner is CEO of SAP and owns the team. It is understandable that soon the SAP Center will have to be replaced, but with the infrastructure-three airports, many rail systems, a diverse freeway system, lots of public transportation-including a possibility of going to and from San Jose by ferry in the future, lots of local restaurants and lodging for the visitors in San Jose and its associated two other large Bay Area cities, the city has hosted the All-Star game twice so far, and the fanbase is passionate enough to last a very long time, this is
A relocation is the least of the concerns for the Sharks. The issue of them is the product of the team which hasnt been competitive for a while, which they understand that they are in a full rebuild. You had seen its very different atmosphere in the arena when the Sharks are actually competitive, they are loud and passionate as they represent not only San Jose, but the whole bay area. And it will be back once they reach to those heights again.
Winnipeg ain't going anywhere they've only been back in the league for 12 years and they're building for the future they are the next franchise in my opinion
The Sharks & city of San Jose just sunk $300 million on the Sharks ice, which is 5 miles from the SAP center. They added a 4,200 seat area and added 2 more sheets of ice to the complex. The Arena was for their minor league, AHL Barracuda. I've talked to Jonathan Becher, the president of the Sharks, who says they were worried about Google & the tech center that has now been canceled. Becher invisions a MSG type retrofit of SAP center. The location is perfect, with the trasit hub directly across the street and parking options all around the arena. The Sharks poor attendance is directly attributed to their on ice performance. They aren't going anywhere.
The Sharks are not going anywhere and SAP Center isn’t even bad for its age. I’ve been going to SAP since 2012 when WWE Smackdown was there and it’s still a great arena
The problem with Winnipeg Jets is not the fact that they are selling at 90% capacity. It is due to the fact they attract very little in terms of coporate sponsorship. Simply because there are not that many major corporations based out of Winnipeg.
Funny how the Saddle Dome is old. Didn't they play in that really old, and small, Calgary Corral when they first moved to Calgary from Atlanta? I recall seeing it, yes is still there, when my son and I got up to the Calgary Stampede a few years ago
It is not already being bulit. But they are looking to get a designer and we haven't see anything. The hop is that they get started sometime in summer or fall.
@@larrystaley21 The Corral was built in 1950 and the Flames played there from 80-83. The building was 30 years old then. The Saddledome will be almost 50 when it is finally replaced. It's had a good run. The Corral was demolished in 2020.
Man every one needs to stop San Jose Sharks belong to SJ and they do not need to relocate. Sharks are in a very good location downtown close to restaurants bars etc... Yes the last couple yrs Sharks have missed play offs . Sharks arena is always improving and making into a modern venue inside we love it its loud it's unique and it's ours we ain't going nowhere
Why do you base relocation based on renovation of the exterior of the building? Most arena's are buried by building's like boston, San francisco, Washington d.c,?
There goes the familiar slogan: "If you build it, they will come." Relocating teams somewhere will add some burden on the owners (too rich for the latter?).
If the jets relocate, that should be a signal to not consider that city for any pro sports franchise. The coyotes that are moving to Salt Lake City were originally in Winnipeg (were also called the Jets) this will be the 2nd team they lost in 25 years.
Can't imagine the sharks ever leaving, but they do need to start winning again... we need the next generation of hockey fans to fill these Ice rinks. I think there will always be enough population and money in silicone valley/Bay Area to support the sharks. . We have so many sharks ice's in the Bay Area. 3 ices in San Jose. 2 ices in Oakland. multiple ices @ their Fremont ice rink. Multiple other ice rinks around the Bay Area. Seasonal ice rinks in over half a dozen cities. Had pond hockey ODR in Walnut Creek for the 5th year last Christmas.
Sharks will not be leaving San Jose. Sharks have a huge presence in SF Bay Area, youth hockey program in 3 different locations and San Jose Barracuda, AHL Minor League team as well.
the league isn't going to move another team because of bad PR......No team is going to move because its not needed....the only reason Arizona is moving is because they had to intervene the league tried everything to keep them from moving and they also agreed to an expansion if they build a new arena to bring the coyotes back.
The Sabres solution to low attendance is simple; make the playoffs and give a better on-ice product. They do that, fans will have a reason to come back and watch games again.
This is probably the worst researched video I’ve seen The Sharks are actually one of two teams in San Jose. They have an MLS team, The Earthquakes, and the 49ers play in Santa Clara the city adjacent to it, the team’s owner is the second wealthiest in the league and has stated on record the team would never leave San Jose, and the city you refer to as “quirky” is the 3rd largest city in California and the 12th largest city in the United States….
It's in a prime downtown location in DC, right on top of 3 of the 6 subway lines in the Metro. Most fans take the train to get to games and it works really well. That was one of the major reasons the Capital One Arena was built in that location in the first place.
Love your videos man but no chance the sabres are moving. 15,900 is impressive with a 13 year playoff drought first odd, second off its on the border of Canada

@@OfficialChrisW The Economic situation caused that, not lack of Fan interest.
15,000 X 41 home games = roughly the entire population of Winnipeg.
It’s insane that Winnipeg is able to support their team as well as they do.
Before the NHL returned to Winnipeg, the city had the CFL, AHL and Independent baseball. The market was balanced and all three teams drew comparable numbers over the course of their respective seasons, around 250,000 per team.
The moment the NHL returned to Winnipeg, it became a CLEARLY over-saturated market. Winnipeg has since got a new basketball team in the CEBL - which plays in the Jets' home building - and actually set attendance records for their league in the team's inaugural season. It also has a new CPL soccer team which, given the folding of the franchise in Edmonton, I just don't see the league surviving long-term.
If you compare what Winnipeg has compared to the likes of Quebec City and Hamilton, it's plain to see that Winnipeg has more than its fair share of sports teams.
Nowhere in Canada is the competition for the sports entertainment dollar more fierce than in it is in Winnipeg, and with post-Covid inflation taking its toll on people's finances, it's going to be a struggle for the market to keep all those franchises profitable.
Here's a rough estimation of the total fans required by sports teams in Winnipeg in order to break even in a typical year:
Jets: 600,000
Blue Bombers: 250,000
Moose (AHL): 200,000
Goldeyes (AAIB): 200,000
Sea Bears (CEBL): 50,000
Total: 1.3 million fans in a market of 835,000
Stupid video. No other NHL team is moving.
The Sharks aren't moving. They're entrenched, they are the Bay Area NHL team. The NHL isn't leaving the Bay Area. The attendance is low because the team sucks. When they were good, they sold out the place. And the Warriors aren't sharing their arena without a buttload of money to do so
The NHL purposely put their Ohio team in Columbus to avoid the Cleveland vs Cincinnati question, they won't leave either
When you look at a number of markets where the NHL has placed franchises - Seattle, Las Vegas, Columbus, Nashville, Raleigh-Durham - you will notice a common denominator:
NON-NBA cities!
I guess you needed SOMETHING to post today….
My Dude. No one is going anywhere. They all have solid ownership.
the panthers aren’t moving, we locals love the free parking
None of these teams have expressed relocation ever
There's no way Buffalo will relocate. You are NUTS!
But but but our arena is barebones..
This guy has a hard on for arenas.
We are a hockey mad market .. put a product on the ice and we will sell out in droves....
So dumb
I'm unsubscribing from this garbage, nothing you say is concrete its just your speculation!
I don't even think what he says can count as speculation lol
Exactly
Dude Wpg has one of the richest men on earth as it’s part owner - that team is never moving. He and The majority owner have said so. And they make bank. They. Aint. Moving. Lol. Great clickbait tho. But stop being such an uneducated RUclipsr. The building has been completely renovated in the last few years and it’s a great place to experience a game.
Winnipeg and Buffalo are going nowhere.
San Jose Sharks were drawing very well prior to covid and back when the team was competitive. If the one ice product gets better the fans will be back. The owner is committed to being successful. The rebuild is in full swing. They should be fine.
They were good for about 15 years in a row but couldn’t get it done
Most of the real Sharks fans who grew up with the team in the ‘90’s and 2000’s moved out of California.
@@averyjames4623 Wrong
@@Yeeyeeenation Yes they did. The REAL 2016 champs.
@@stanfordite1 I hope I am wrong, lol. I still follow them even though I'm in Kraken territory now, but the Sharks aren't going anywhere anytime soon. They even have BART headed towards the SAP Center now.
As someone who lives less than two miles from the tank and has been going to sharks games my whole life, I think the sharks main issue right now is that a large chunk of people from San Jose/The Bay as a whole had to jump ship because of a skyrocketing cost of living. It makes it a hell of a lot harder to get a new wave of fans when half of your old guard ain’t there to help bring them in. In conclusion, they really oughta build more houses here so it doesn’t cost so damn much
Winnipeg isn't going anywhere. The owner is a multi billionaire. As for the rest of the teams, they're not moving either.
They sold out every game except for the last 2 years, something happened to keep fans away
@@michaelleroy9281 Yep, and it's called post-Covid inflation.
San Jose has the 49ers so they can handle the Sharks. They need a team that can win 30 games a year at least. 15 wins a season isn't going to draw anyone.
The Niners are in Santa Clara.
I know buffalos attendance causes worry but they’re still one of the largest tv markets, the team just needs to be not complete garbage for a few years 😂
If you take Toronto/GTA out of the market share Buffalo is the 48th largest market in the US so its not large at all.
Buffalo one of the largest TV markets? They are 54 in the US, just ahead of Fort Myers, Richmond, Mobile, Wilkes Barre, Little Rock, and Albany.
@@PoliticallyIncorrect90I think he means TV ratings. Buffalo is always amongst the leagues best for hockey TV ratings
@@PoliticallyIncorrect90 for the nhl dude, thought that was self explanatory
@imsquidward5187 Buffalo is not one of the larger markets in the league. They are the smallest in the US for NHL teams at #25.
Sharks and the NHL are not leaving San Jose. San Jose actually supports their team unlike Oakland.
There are hardly any reasons for the Panthers to relocate. Please do a little bit of research before just looking at pictures of the stadium and coming to a decision.
He doesn’t
Second video of his I’ve seen that bashes the Panthers arena just because he doesn’t like it. I get it, I’d rather they play in downtown Miami with the Heat or in a new building next to Hard Rock, but Amerant Arena was just renovated, and the Panthers renovated old Ft. Lauderdale War Memorial Auditorium as their practice facilities. With that and the recent success, this team isn’t going anywhere.
Nice doing no research. Caps (monumental sports) and DC agreed weeks ago to renovate the arena and extend the lease by 25 years.
to that they won the stanley cup a few years back they aint going nowhere
Also, I will come to the defence of Calgary, The money has been approved for the building over a year ago now. just recently begun survey and visiting the site which the arena is going to be built on. It’s not a matter if the Calgary right now it’s a matter of when and I think the when is sooner than you think.
Calgary will likely start digging after Stampede this year.
Winning jets,San Jose, buffalo, they staying no teams is moving any time soon for real 🤔
Sharks relocate? they sit in the middle of the $, even in the worst times
This is the dumbest title for a video. Getting new arenas isn't relocating
True North owns both the Canada Life Centre & the Jets. The economy in Winnepeg which is why the Jets attendance is down. True north just put $13M in improvements into the arena and srunk the size of the seating bowl from 15,321 to 15,225 by adding a high revenue club option in the end the jets shoot twice. They aren't going anywhere.
They also added Loge seating options on the upper deck and replaced the scoreboard within recent years also. The building itself is in good shape.
The Ducks’ lease at the Honda center goes until 2048, I doubt they’re going anywhere
Ducks will remain in Anaheim for another 25 years as their new lease was renewed. Also the O.C Vibe is under construction as we speak as the Anaheim Ducks owners have already made the funds to upgrade the surrounding areas. The city of Anaheim has approved the project as they are also funding support of 4 billion.
Okay, now what about the Angels?
No way Jets are moving after they get this team from Atlanta.
I don't see anything wrong with Winnipeg's arena.
Winnipeg gives Canada a great "heartland" presence. All six other Canadian teams fairly close to an ocean coast.
@@robertlindey2538 Yeah, I hope Winnipeg keeps the Jets; I would also be in favor of a franchise in Quebec City.
@@johnhenryNC Once the NHL returns to Quebec City, all will be whole again. Canada won't need any more teams.
Columbus crew won mls cup last season
He also thinks MB stadium is the worst soccer stadium 😆. He rated yankee stadium as better. Having lived in Atlanta and from New York that’s just crazy.
Winnipeg? Of all the teams listed, but even that is a longshot at this time!!
Ottawa would be relocating back to downtown because they play like 40 mins outside it
Why is everything with you based on “arena situation”? If Buffalo or Columbus put winning teams on the ice, their arenas would be full.
As a Sabres fan,we would sell out keybank center but are team is not that good right now
90% of his videos are about arenas and stadium situations.
@@Red-Bull-Insider not that good right now??? try 13 years out of the playoffs. And why is it that former players on the Sabres following trades went on to win Stanley Cups with their new teams (Ryan O'Reilly, Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart)? It is because there is a losing atmosphere that permeates the Sabres organization from the top to the bottom. I don't think any players really want to play there
Sabres announced several arena renovations a couple months, they're changing the roof and getting a new jumbotron
These stadiums built in the 90's-00's just didn't hold up like those built back in the 60's
None of those teams are relocating. You just basically read off the bottom teams in this year’s standings. It’s also not a regular occurrence. NFL teams move just as much, if not more.
The original Winnipeg Jets became the Coyotes and now are going to Utah.
Besides that franchise, there’s been Quebec to Colorado, Hartford to Carolina and Atlanta to Winnipeg. I think that’s it going back to the 70s.
I’m starting to question wether any of these teams need new arenas because I go to the Florida panthers arena all the time and it seems like like a perfectly fine up to date arena. No way they do anything for the next ten years at least.
With the Yotes move, the NHL is probably the most stable league in North America when it comes to relocations.
Makes me believe Depressed Ginger has never set foot in the Bay Area. SJ a “quirky” city? It has the largest population of the three major cities that comprise the Bay Area. The SF 49ers also play in Santa Clara County. The comments about Oakland and the A’s are usually off base. Sharks attendance stinks because the team is bad. It should start coming back next season as soon as the team shows any signs of improvement. Another bizarre and shallow video.
Of course he hasn’t , he’s some nerd that uses a mic
There's nothing wrong with Canada Life Centre.
Another thing lots of the teams you’re listing here are going for rebuilds right now. Example the sharks they’re going for a rebuild and they’re in a non-traditional hockey market. The numbers are gonna drop, but they’re not going to relocate there’s more of a chance of the San Jose Sharks winning the Stanley Cup then of the San Jose Sharks relocating and yes, I cheer for hockey team
I think the only renovation Amerant Bank Arena (Panthers) needs is a new coat of paint on the roof.
Whenever one team relocates, especially when it's over an arena, other teams use that as leverage to get either renovations or a new arena.
Amerant Bank Arena is not horrible in the least 💀 the concourse is buzzing, landscaping is nice, nothing is falling apart/old, there’s always something new added each year. it’s just far west
The Panthers arena is in a great location. It is in the same parking lot as a huge outlet mall and the neighborhood is very safe.
Only place I see them moving is closer to Ft Lauderdale, but they’re filling the stadium. I wouldn’t change anything. Smarter move might be to reduce capacity in the parking lot and make some retail/restaurant/apartments there
They do have new apartments there.
True on the location. And I live there.
@@daviejz6698oh yeah for sure! The only pain is living East and traveling through rush hour 😅
This is the same guy who in another video said the Flyers might move to the Sixers new arena at Market East! Is he even a real person, or some sort of AI generated bot that just makes things up?
Dude just says things without doing an ounce of research. If you look for it you'll find numerous mistakes in most of his videos
The Sixers new arena would only be for the Sixers. No way in hell the Flyers are moving out of Wells Fargo anytime soon, especially after recent renovations that were done. Plus the Flyers outright own that arena.
Winnipeg Jets have the richest own in all the NHL, surely he can wrote bigger checks and make his team win a Stanley Cup. He is many times richer than any of the other owner. Even some combined. Don’t believe me that that writing checks works, just keep in mind that the Texas Rangers which were one of the worst MLB teams of all time won a World Series. And it’s all because their owner wrote so many checks to hire the best of the best, that his pen caught on fire.
Now why would Winnipeg be moving when they been begging for their teams back for years!!???
Jets aren't gonna move. Bettman should've told Chipman to give him the Ronson cans You don't know shit. Drink tequila backwards.
There is not a NHL franchise with bad ticket/merch sales. A few are having lulls but as others have stated, it's simply due to other factors like team performance. Not because its a bad fit currently. Winnipeg is an exception but even they have taken major steps to ensure 24-25 ticket sales increase
If Anaheim ever moves, they will more than likely move down to San Diego because San Diego is one of the biggest and most untapped markets in North American sports without an NHL team right next to Orange County, as well as the fact that it's a huge hockey market. Their AHL affiliate, the San Diego Gulls, is consistently near the top of AHL attendance.
I would love that haha I would defiantly welcome them with open arms we are desperate for more pro sports teams. We just got an mls expansion team and I already got merch for it when I went to the chrome ball tour. We need more I know greedy but I’m starving for more pro sports teams, NHL and or NBA or even WNBA team. our gulls are great with attendance and we are starving for more pro sports here.
San Diego is the 8th largest market in the US and I'm sure that both the NHL and eventually the NFL will return
@@bufnyfan1 I would love that so much haha. Just anything at this point tbh tbh idc what lol. I’m just a depressed sports fan starving for more teams haha and when I mean depressed, IIIII, mean depressed depressed :/
@@bufnyfan1 Damn, I really hope so. The Chargers and Clippers should never have moved. They only moved because of greedy owners itching to cash on the far bigger profits in LA.
@@bufnyfan1I could see NHL but the NFL is done forever in San Diego.
As a panthers fan, it would make more sense for the arena to be in Miami or ft. Lauderdale then sunrise. Sunrise is very inconvenience unless you live towards sunrise
Attendance would drop if the arena would be in Miami lol
Miami’s population is majority Latino and Caribbean people. They don’t care about Hockey. That is why the Panthers choose to move to Broward county in the first place.
Marlins Park. 😆
Panthers need to leave Florida, no way should Florida have more teams than Texas
@@Christian-xf4xm no way that's happening

San Jose is not going anywhere. They invest in the arena. It was Wilson who killed the cap effecting to sign players
Is the Chase Center, where the
NBA’s warriors Hockey suitable?
nah
i think oakland arena is, but the sharks ain’t going nowhere
@@idiotcow3721 thanks.
No- it was built specifically for basketball. A massive renovation would need to take place if they were to try and put a hockey rink in, along with adding all the systems for it.
Was just at Capital One Arena (D.C.) , it was a dump. Very tight, feels claustrophobic. It seems like crap compared to the Orlando Solar Bears Kia arena in Orlando FL. And that's an ECHL team!
No way sabres going anywhere. That city loves them even thru the drought
This man just doesn't understand. I'm sure he has never been to San Jose-with what's going on right now there'll be BART coming to the nearby San Jose Diridon Station (SJC), and there's of course, Amtrak, Caltrain and even Altamont Commuter Express (ACE), so strategically there can be fans from Stockton and Merced too. (Let's not forget the VERY SLOW build of the high-speed rail being built in California- San Jose will be its stop when completed, and some will say that Diridon will be the Grand Central Station of the West.)
I know, it is a few years of rebuilding and it's the most horrific record ever for the franchise winning only 19 games, but they do have lots of potential and with the current TV right of NBC Sports California what would be a megapolis of San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose-Sacramento-Monterey (and a tiny possibility of Fresno or Bakersfield and even up to Crescent City), hockey is key for the NHL in Northern California, and it's extremely unlikely for them to leave the sixth largest metro population's US Media market. They may not have to attend-they can always follow on TV, radio or online whether or not the team is good.
Let us not forget it's growing in the area for talent-this year, there is rookie goalie Devin Cooley playing for the Sharks and he's from the suburb of Los Gatos.
It's inevitable-every team will have a down year. But to simply have the Sharks be moving out because of attendance and not so much interest because it was an expected rebuild is sheer ridiculousness. Besides, Hasso Plattner is CEO of SAP and owns the team.
It is understandable that soon the SAP Center will have to be replaced, but with the infrastructure-three airports, many rail systems, a diverse freeway system, lots of public transportation-including a possibility of going to and from San Jose by ferry in the future, lots of local restaurants and lodging for the visitors in San Jose and its associated two other large Bay Area cities, the city has hosted the All-Star game twice so far, and the fanbase is passionate enough to last a very long time, this is
A relocation is the least of the concerns for the Sharks. The issue of them is the product of the team which hasnt been competitive for a while, which they understand that they are in a full rebuild. You had seen its very different atmosphere in the arena when the Sharks are actually competitive, they are loud and passionate as they represent not only San Jose, but the whole bay area. And it will be back once they reach to those heights again.
Calgary started the Construction on the new Arena
Winnipeg ain't going anywhere they've only been back in the league for 12 years and they're building for the future they are the next franchise in my opinion
The Sharks & city of San Jose just sunk $300 million on the Sharks ice, which is 5 miles from the SAP center. They added a 4,200 seat area and added 2 more sheets of ice to the complex. The Arena was for their minor league, AHL Barracuda. I've talked to Jonathan Becher, the president of the Sharks, who says they were worried about Google & the tech center that has now been canceled. Becher invisions a MSG type retrofit of SAP center.
The location is perfect, with the trasit hub directly across the street and parking options all around the arena. The Sharks poor attendance is directly attributed to their on ice performance. They aren't going anywhere.
The Sharks are not going anywhere and SAP Center isn’t even bad for its age. I’ve been going to SAP since 2012 when WWE Smackdown was there and it’s still a great arena
He said the Blue Jackets are the only professional team based in Columbus. There are other professional teams based in the city. i.e. Crew (MLS).
The problem with Winnipeg Jets is not the fact that they are selling at 90% capacity. It is due to the fact they attract very little in terms of coporate sponsorship. Simply because there are not that many major corporations based out of Winnipeg.
The new Calgary Event Centre is already being built in a lot next to the Saddledome.
Funny how the Saddle Dome is old. Didn't they play in that really old, and small, Calgary Corral when they first moved to Calgary from Atlanta? I recall seeing it, yes is still there, when my son and I got up to the Calgary Stampede a few years ago
It is not already being bulit. But they are looking to get a designer and we haven't see anything. The hop is that they get started sometime in summer or fall.
@@larrystaley21 The Corral was built in 1950 and the Flames played there from 80-83. The building was 30 years old then. The Saddledome will be almost 50 when it is finally replaced. It's had a good run. The Corral was demolished in 2020.
Man every one needs to stop San Jose Sharks belong to SJ and they do not need to relocate. Sharks are in a very good location downtown close to restaurants bars etc... Yes the last couple yrs Sharks have missed play offs . Sharks arena is always improving and making into a modern venue inside we love it its loud it's unique and it's ours we ain't going nowhere
Build an arena in Niagara Falls for the Sabres and rename the team to something to do with the Niagara region and it would also cover Hamilton.
If they relocate to a market where the NHL has expansion plans we might see a similar situation to the Coyotes.
Buffalo and Winnipeg could afford new arenas if they stopped letting the leafs live rent free in their fans heads.
Why do you base relocation based on renovation of the exterior of the building? Most arena's are buried by building's like boston, San francisco, Washington d.c,?
There goes the familiar slogan: "If you build it, they will come." Relocating teams somewhere will add some burden on the owners (too rich for the latter?).
Damn that Ottawa arena looks pretty cool with that building on top of it!
As a florida fan for almost 20 years, panthers are very healthy. Also stadium is not far from much, a majority of fans live within 20 mins
The Sharks aren't the only professional team in San Jose. San Jose also has the EarthQuakes which are MLS
Not to mention the 49ers stadium and facilities are like 10-15 minutes away from SAP Center where the Sharks play
@@joshdrenth4526 Let's not forget that the SF Giants claim San Jose as their territory, which prevented the A's from going there.
If the jets relocate, that should be a signal to not consider that city for any pro sports franchise. The coyotes that are moving to Salt Lake City were originally in Winnipeg (were also called the Jets) this will be the 2nd team they lost in 25 years.
Can't imagine the sharks ever leaving, but they do need to start winning again... we need the next generation of hockey fans to fill these Ice rinks.
I think there will always be enough population and money in silicone valley/Bay Area to support the sharks.
.
We have so many sharks ice's in the Bay Area. 3 ices in San Jose. 2 ices in Oakland. multiple ices @ their Fremont ice rink.
Multiple other ice rinks around the Bay Area. Seasonal ice rinks in over half a dozen cities. Had pond hockey ODR in Walnut Creek for the 5th year last Christmas.
Sharks will not be leaving San Jose. Sharks have a huge presence in SF Bay Area, youth hockey program in 3 different locations and San Jose Barracuda, AHL Minor League team as well.
Columbus has a Major Soccer League team.
🔥 arena has started being built
the league isn't going to move another team because of bad PR......No team is going to move because its not needed....the only reason Arizona is moving is because they had to intervene the league tried everything to keep them from moving and they also agreed to an expansion if they build a new arena to bring the coyotes back.
The Sabres solution to low attendance is simple; make the playoffs and give a better on-ice product. They do that, fans will have a reason to come back and watch games again.
This is probably the worst researched video I’ve seen
The Sharks are actually one of two teams in San Jose. They have an MLS team, The Earthquakes, and the 49ers play in Santa Clara the city adjacent to it,
the team’s owner is the second wealthiest in the league and has stated on record the team would never leave San Jose,
and the city you refer to as “quirky” is the 3rd largest city in California and the 12th largest city in the United States….
How is the Capital One Arena in a bad location?
It's in a prime downtown location in DC, right on top of 3 of the 6 subway lines in the Metro. Most fans take the train to get to games and it works really well. That was one of the major reasons the Capital One Arena was built in that location in the first place.
You can take Winnipeg off of this list.
Love your videos man but no chance the sabres are moving. 15,900 is impressive with a 13 year playoff drought first odd, second off its on the border of Canada
It’s amazing how many cities have hockey teams THAT DONT DESERVE THEM
They all play in cities that the NHL wanted to be in instead of vice versa.
