It's going to keep going up if hockey really does keep getting bigger.  That's
part of the reason that I'm not convinced that hockey's growth is such a good
thing; it may grow to the point that the 7-8000 of us that go every year won't
be able to get tickets.  Unless, of course, they find a 60,000 seat dome that
can make ice.
