Good Seats Still Available

This article came up (courtesy of Yahoo) regarding the Dallas Stars and their Phoenix Coyotes-esque fall into irrelevance yesterday.  Their game yesterday versus the Phoenix Coyotes had an announced attendance of 6,306.  No, your eyes are not deceiving you, that was the actual announced attendance for that game.  Yes, there was a baseball game going on about the same time and the start time of this game was 5 PM local time, but that hardly excuses the Stars for this pathetic of a turnout.  To not even make 10,000 fans in a game is an embarrassment.  Obviously, the ownership situation will bear watching, as it could help them out, as will their past history of winning, although that feels so long ago.  Should relocation talks be circling around the Dallas Stars?  No, but with attendance like this, it could be a reality, just ask the Atlanta Thrashers and Phoenix Coyotes, the latter of which has always been mentioned as a candidate to move.  If the Stars want to make hay soon, this season is it, as the NBA is looking at a lost season, and the Stars would be the only game in town once the Rangers and Cowboys finish their respective seasons.  An honest effort will go a long way in helping the team get back a few of its lost fans, but ownership must be settled before it can go further.
