For a Calder Cup final game on a Saturday night in Chocolatetown, how many people could the Bears pull in? Giant Centre capacity is what? 10,500? I would imagine the house would be full.

I don't think anybody has a grasp on what the transition is doing. It may be a cold summer here. Followed by a mega torch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Showers should hold off till late in the day and arrive across the county from SW to NE this evening. Showers tomorrow will end by evening but some spots could see over an inch or more of rain by tomorrow night. Cooler and drier weather arrives for the weekend with falling back below normal with temps no higher than the low to mid 70's. Below normal temps should continue through the first few days of next week. Chester County Records: High 102 degrees at Phoenixville (1925) and in Western Chesco it was the 97 degrees that same day. Low 39 degrees at Coatesville (1947) / Rain 2.39" Coatesville (1970) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking how MANY could the Bears draw if the Giant Center had a larger capacity? Is 15K possible? 20K? I've always marveled at the fan base - I don't know of a sports team in North America that can say that their average attendance is nearly the size of the town/city they play in. The Bears rank #1 or #2 every year in home attendance and a lot of the teams in the leagues play in cities, not towns of 12K or whatever Hershey is now. This might not be a popular opinion, but I miss Hersheypark Arena dearly. I have just never warmed up to the Giant Center. Mike Emrick called the old arena the best building for hockey in the world for a reason. So many incredible memories and so many really good people that I met over the years. I dropped my season tickets when they moved across the parking lot. It just wasn't and isn't the same for me. I've only been to maybe 10 games at the Giant Center total.

The old arena was great back when I was young we used to go skate their quite often. New arena is more geared towards the present time in sports and concerts but doesn't compare to Hersheypark arena at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a sports venue without sky boxes and suites...it isn't a sports venue today. Oh, and scoreboards insulting my intelligence to "Make Noise" or "Get Loud!" - fake noise is so much worse than no noise. Sports fans know when to be boisterous...what they're watching dictates that, not a scoreboard. I'll stop now because I'm sounding like an old man.

I think if they could have built an NHL arena in Hershey and it would come close to filling for big games. Playoff games on Saturday would fill a 17,000 seater. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its not moderated - censored like it once was, but I'm no fan of one sided slander, and if were gonna play that stupid game, let both sides have at it (mind you, I'm no fan of the trash talk, and wish there could be sensible dialog....but please show me where that exists in this digital age?? I dont see it anywhere, but maybe I'm just snakebit as to where to find truth anymore....but I look at a myriad of sources in search of....
