Ya, I think are still the lowest paid of the four sports.
At least in Boston now, the Bruins have the cheapest ticket in town.
It was the Celtics a couple of years ago.
Heck, maybe in a couple weeks people will be giving away Pats tickets...

Thats nothing.  Its all about TV ratings.

 It wasnt long ago that the Stanley Cup finals games (1.4 and 1.1 for games one and two) got beat by the NCAA Softball Championships (1.6).

The also got beat by Frasier reruns episode, and Arena League regular season.

Game 7 of the 2003 NHL finals was the most watched hockey game in 29 years, and it only pulled in a 4.7

The average Monday Night Football game pulls in 3-4 times that many people.  The highest superbowl pulled a 49.1, more than 10x that number.

The worst NBA finals in the history of ratings was a 6.2, the best an 18.7

The lowest I could find for a World Series game is an 8.0, with the highest at 38.9

Hockeys is so far behind its not even funny.

ChadTower:

Every time they start to increase fanbase they go on strike.  They keep moving franchises around, alienating the fans they do have, and dropping them into places that will never care about hockey.  It's no surprise that no one gives a crap anymore.

Hoopz:
Gary Bettman is an idiot.  Hockey was exploding a few years ago and he totally ruined it.
