Well thats true of any sport, teams who win are naturally going to draw well and teams who dont do well over long periods of time aren't.
The Coyotes play 4th fiddle out here in Arizona, maybe 5th behind Diamodbacks, Cardinals, Suns and Arizona State Football. It's probably always going to be that way. But even considering how terrible the team has been run, they still drew 13k fans a night on average. Not great, but I don't think thats terrible either.
