Quote:
The Chicago Blackhawks have announced a crowd of 22,690 fans for their contest [Saturday] against the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings, establishing a franchise record for the largest regular-season attended game. [Saturday's] matchup eclipsed the previous regular-season mark of 22,644 set on March 8, 1997 against the Phoenix Coyotes at the United Center.

Is that because they added capacity, or have they really just not sold out a game since 1997?

As of yesterday, the Hawks have increased their average attendance by over 5000 people over last year. That's an amazing jump.

It is absolutely wonderful to see this team return to relevence. I am really hoping that Detroit and Chicago meet in the playoffs. It would be fantastic for both cities.
