Sv: Apropå ingenting...
MorganaLefaey: Nej, det är konstigt. Wasington Post har en helt annan analys om varför man sett en ökning av försäljningen.

Ticket Sales Stronger; HiDef On the Way

We all know the Caps have struggled to fill Verizon Center in recent seasons (they ranked 27th in attendance a year ago), but club officials are encouraged by better ticket sales this summer. Perhaps boosted by the flurry of free agent signings, Clark's extension and the new unis, July was the team's strongest month of 2007.

I'm told the team sold 118 new full season plans and about 300 new full season equivalents. The 118 full season plans are nearly triple the number of full season plans they sold last July.

The Caps have got a long way to go to reach Ted Leonsis's goal of 12,000 season tickets. But it seems like they're inching in the right direction.

Speaking of Verizon Center, details about upgrades are beginning to trickle out. The arena is definitely getting four high definition screens that will hang over center ice, with circular high definition message boards on top and below the jumbotron. It's going to look a lot like Boston's.

New high-def televisions are also going to be installed in suites and on the concourse.

Construction is set to begin when the Mystics' season ends."
