etr102 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2011 Greetings everybody. I've posted this question on the Red Wings section of the HFBoards forums, but I'm posting it here as well since this board appears to be more active. I am a life long Wings fan from Windsor, but as a Spitfires STH, I don't have the time to attend a lot of Wings games but I do make it to a few each year. I normally take the tunnel bus from Windsor to each game, and I can't help but notice how many Transit Windsor buses there are full of people packed in like sardines attending Red Wings games. This has me wondering, of the 20,000 fans who typically fill Joe Louis, how many (per game) typically are coming from across the border? I can't find any statistics on this anywhere, but does anybody have any rough ideas or guesses even? My completely uneducated guess would be that 1000-2000 fans (5-10% of the arena) come from across the border. Does this sound even close to right? A couple people on HFBoards have told me that this estimate is actually on the low side, especially when the Leafs or Habs are in town. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barrie 900 Report post Posted December 5, 2011 You should contact the team and ask them, they'd have that information. Everyone who gets a ticket, other than the ones who walk up and pay cash, give out their address when they buy tickets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
