like Nashville are great. Atlanta should have done better. They don't even draw well for baseball. I blame the city layout and traffic mostly. I'm all in for Tampa. Great market. California markets have done great things for hockey.
I really could care less about north and south when it comes to hockey markets.
I don't really consider Vegas south anyway. It is indeed an arena football type brand right now. That's not debatable. It is not a major sport city when an unbiased person views it in terms of a city brand.
Anyway.. the main issue is with the obvious incompetence of the owner who wants to name a professional team the Black Knights -- and the further incompetence to incorporate the name Hawks now that Black Knights has been rejected.
