NHL 2,000 Attendance list as of 11-09-2007!!!

I am maintaining this attendance list due to the amount of crap us Islanders fans receive over the amount of empty seats the Islanders have at games.

Last night, there were 2 games played with more than 2,000 empty seats.

As of 11/09, there have been 76 out of 233 games played with MORE than 2,000 empty seats, or 32.6% of all games played.

There have been 35 games played at less than 75% capacity, or 15.0%.

Out of 76 games, the Islanders appear 3 times on this list, or 4.0% and 1.3% out of 233 games.

Out of 76 games, 9 games have been played in arena's considered old barns, the Nassau Coliseum and Joe Louis Arena. The rest are all considered modern arenas.

Team leaders at more than 2,000 empty seat games:

Chicago - 9
Florida - 7
Detroit, Columbus, Phoenix, Boston - 6
Los Angeles, Atlanta, Nashville, Washington, New Jersey, Carolina - 4
St. Louis, Colorado, NY Islanders - 3
