They could have easily made it here, if the owners gave a crap. Hockey has not failed in Atlanta twice due to lack of support, rather owners who had other plans with their money.

Metro Atlanta can totally support a hockey team, be it NHL, AHL, whatever. It's a shame that Phillips sits unused 42 nights a year, I would be ecstatic to transfer my entertainment dollars back to this facility. Cobb would be ok too, just would suck not to be able to take MARTA home afterwards...

My understanding of Flames history is that attendance was good for the first few seasons, but never great, and eventually declined to the point that sale and relocation became inevitable.
