I thought that one of the arguments for why Muskegon is so superior to Grand Rapids (hockey wise I mean) is that they pull in such fabulous attendance numbers. Isn't that true?

I just saw the current attendance numbers for both teams and while Muskegon averages just over 3,000 pergame (I think it was like 3,016) Grand Rapids this season has averaged 6,658 through 38 games this season. I believe that's an increase from last year.

Thought this was interesting. Sure, this is tickets purchased, not necessarily seats sat in, but aren't all arenas attendances that way???

If there's a goal that everyone remembers, it was back in ol' 72. We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger and all I remember was sitting beside you. You said you didn't give a f*** about hockey and I never saw someone say that before. You held my hand and we walked home the long way. You were loosening my grip on Bobby Orr. - The Tragically Hip

Those numbers look right to me, crazy.
But if you do the math, you'll find that both come out just over 60% capacity.
61.2 for GR, 60.3 for Muskegon.
But give credit where it is due, the Fury do have 4 UHL championship banners in the rafters.
