I wasn’t born yet! Haha but I didn’t get to Atlanta until 2005 and by then the Braves were waning. Never really followed them too close but out of all the teams they had by far the biggest fan base until ATLUTD came.
Falcons and Hawks, most people hung on to their teams from the city they came from. And hockey, well we lost them for a reason.
You guys had two hockey teams in Atlanta they failed. Atlanta Flames from the 70s-to the 90 then the Atlanta Thrasher from 1999-2011 before I think the left for Winnepeg. Atlanta just isn’t a hockey town.
OMG I’m old. 
I think part of what doomed them, is that it’s incredibly hard to get downtown during the week if you don’t live there. And well, most hockey fans in Atlanta probably lived way out of downtown in the northern suburbs. They’d probably do good out by the Braves stadium. That move for the Braves has been great for them, while pissing off a good portion of the base.
Especially with so many transplants being from the NE where hockey has been around longer.
Canes 
win 5-2!!!
Take a 1-0 lead against Nashville. Next game Wednesday at home.
So how did the red lighting initiative go? I haven’t seen any pics or anything.
Wasn’t 100% participation. Going for a better showing Wednesday night.
One Glenwood and PNC did it right, Wells Fargo and Two Glenwood need to step it up!
One Glenwood was red/white/blue, same as FNB essentially.
The view from City Plaza was great with the 4 pillars in City Plaza red, the Perf Arts Center and PNC all lit up red!
I’ve yet to see Two Glenwood change from that yellow. Hoping those lights aren’t strictly yellow 
It was red last night when we were driving home from the game. One Glenwood was mixed white and red.
There was 12k in the arena i even found a post on Instagram of a major sports outlet, who was at the game, and did a view of the crowd, it was an ecstatic crowd.
Very fun to be there live!!
I was, it was definitely over 12k fans, almost every seat in the lower bowl appeared taken.
People have been known to move to Raleigh just to be closer to the Canes. I remember seeing a group of people mention that in an interview a year or so ago.
The stadium has been filled countless times in 2019 and before then. I went to a game in 2017 or 2018 and it was at full capacity.
I’ve commented three times in a row but I’m disgusted how Greensboro has a 21k+ arena while Charlotte and Raleigh have significantly smaller arenas with bigger fan bases. I’m surprised the hurricanes didn’t build a bigger arena or one closer in size to their previous stadium. Did NC State build the arena before they moved?? If so that would make sense.
Greensboro has the third largest “NHL” stadium with no NHL or NBA team.
Currently the highest capacity NHL stadium is the Bell Centre in Montreal at 21,273. So the 18,000+ stadium is pretty fair for the Hurricanes at the moment. Would be nice if the arena does get replaced with something nicer but I’m not sure if the capacity will increase by much.
Most newer nba and nhl arenas are tending toward the 16-18k seat range with more focus on the premium areas.
