In Europe,  Premier League soccer teams and some teams at a  second level get 55,000 to every  game whether their team is winning or losing.   Meanwhile Ottawa with a population of 1 million ,  a Premier League hockey team,  can't get a measly 18,000.   Do you think that is going to change by having an arena downtown?  Come the play-offs everyone will be  driving around with Senators flags on their cars and pretending to be Senator's fans but for the rest of the year forget it.
