Add to that it outsells NBA, and that's where I get my decision.
I'm sure if there was an NBA team near me, I'd go to one or two games a year, and enjoy myself due to the spectacle... But I don't think the NBA has nearly s many DIE HARD fans as the NHL does. |
Well I would agree that makeup-wise, KC would probably make a better hockey town than an NBA town. We like more of a blue collar type attitude with our teams and many NBA players come off sounding like primaddonas. Plus you've probably got a better economic structure in the NHL for a KC franchise to succeed.
Still, I don't necessarily think that means the NBA wouldn't work in KC...
