They’re about halfway through a rebuild and good times will return. Hasso Plattner is the second richest owner in the league and he is not afraid to hand out cash, or at least he gave Doug Wilson the keys to the bank whenever he wanted. He’s so rich that he gave his own company the arena naming rights. The only way they relocate is if he sells the team or they lose money for 15 years.

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.

[@FischerFan]

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

(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

San Jose is not going anywhere. They invest in the arena. It was Wilson who killed the cap effecting to sign players

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!

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.

[@gabetalks9275]

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.

[@TheGreatGhost1]

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.

[@tomwujek4867]

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.

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

[@vancouvercanucks215]

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.

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).

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.

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….

[@jlo2o199]

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.

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.

If they relocate to a market where the NHL has expansion plans we might see a similar situation to the Coyotes.
