Many of the styles were outrageous and dramatic, but there were also some <a href="http://www.vponsale.com/" rel="nofollow">wedding gowns</a> that were unabashedly pretty and feminine. For more on the sweetest new bridal gowns, read on...<br /><br /> It seems as though many of the gown designers this season were so crazy about trying interesting new techniques to rucsh, gather, and ruffle fabric that they forgot about making dresses that a bride would actually feel pretty wearing. Some of the more adventurous styles might make a woman feel chic or bold, or even glamorous, but many of the new gowns bear little resemblance to the timeless bridal gowns that every young girl dreams of one day wearing. In other words, they are so of the moment that they are not timeless.胥传奇https://www.blogger.com/profile/13077181201239169612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-77776380982727156622008-12-09T15:35:00.000-08:002008-12-09T15:35:00.000-08:00archstanton I am confident in saying there are mor...archstanton I am confident in saying there are more NHL fans in KC than NBA. There are by far more college basketball fans here, but Kansas Citians will never put up with the apathetic and thuggish attitude the NBA consistently brings. The NHL held an exhibition in the brand new Sprint Center between two of the worst teams in the league last year (LA STL). Not only were they terrible, the brought their B squads and put it on a monday night. The NBA game drew only about 200 more people on a friday night with two playoff teams (Portland and Atlanta) the game featured a 1st overall draft pick and had more than a month than the NHL game did to advertise. Still, no one cared about the NBA game mainly because the players haven't cared for over 10 years. The NBA is an absolute joke.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-41524503826214814182008-12-04T18:58:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:58:00.000-08:00and not to mention - arenas that have both NBA and...and not to mention - arenas that have both NBA and NHL (MSG for example) hold more fans for NBA then NHL.

Please don't compare Philly to Detroit when it comes to their NBA/NHL teams. The Pistons lead the NBA in attendance since 2003 and have an open sellout streak that dates back to 2004 and tv ratings for Pistons games are some of the heighest in the entire league (not sure if they are higher than the Wings, though) so it's not fair comparing Detroit to Philly. Detroit, unlike Philly supports their NBA team and you never hear about minor leagues teams outdrawing them. <BR/><BR/>Also, you said the NBA can't even touch the NHL's popularity in Denver. I don't have the link, but I remember that last season the Nuggets outdrew the Avs when it came to local tv ratings, and this season the Nuggets get an average of 16,583 fans at their games (16,272 the Avs, despite a deep playoffs run last season).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-84984812641115289282008-11-30T10:38:00.000-08:002008-11-30T10:38:00.000-08:00In Chicago the Blackhawks are back and becoming mo...In Chicago the Blackhawks are back and becoming more popular than the Bulls...

Even when they suck they play before sellout crowds....the Blackhawks, on the other hand, didn't get big crowds until this year, which is when the team started to get good. So, I'm just saying that the Blackhawks sellout only when they are competitive, while the Bulls sellout even when they suck.

The NHL is very popular in its Canadian markets, obviously, but also in certain areas of the country where hockey is a big youth sport or where the people have really taken to their team. In Philadelphia, the Flyers are usually more popular than the Sixers, no matter what the Sixers do. Even the AHL team in Philly has outdrawn the Sixers on occasion. Detroit is similar, and the NBA can't even touch the NHL's popularity in Denver or Minnesota or in non-NBA markets like Buffalo or Tampa. Markets like Boston and Long Island are huge hockey markets, but fans there are really angry with the state or their teams (i.e. bad/cheap ownership or crumbling building) and so don't go to games. In New York, the Rangers have traditionally sold out every game, while the Knicks currently have trouble, but it has more to do with the Rangers history and the current state of the Knicks.<BR/><BR/>Still, the NBA is bigger most other places, especially in large markets without either leagues. Kansas City has its hockey fans, but I bet more people there watch the NBA than the NHL.<BR/><BR/>The NBA is not losing popularity, but maybe now people have realized they don't want to spend a small fortune going to watch a game that is basically a sideshow to loud music, celebrity owners and players, and circus tricks. The NHL has the advantage here; it's fan base tends to be more hardcore and people know what they get when they go to an NHL game-a hockey game. One needs to only look at the attendance for minor hockey in this country: it tends to be quite healthy. It's possible that people like to play basketball more or watch it on TV, but would rather go in person to a hockey game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-45402729197117072942008-11-25T15:56:00.000-08:002008-11-25T15:56:00.000-08:00As a big time NBA fan, I think this is great.

NBA ticket prices have gotten outragously expensive, and I think with the economic downturn, attendance is going to get much worse before it gets any better. I know that after the strike, the NHL slashed ticket prices, and I think you can see on the graph that it helped a lot. Hopefully the NBA will do the same.<BR/><BR/>Also, as far as the NFL goes, I think you are going to see the same thing happen to them. They have turned their stadiums into playgrounds for people with large amounts of disposable income. I think you are going to see a dip in attendence and a lot more blackouts starting next season as the number of people with large amounts of disposable income falls.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16227493634173618973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-59945101342903237532008-11-24T09:09:00.000-08:002008-11-24T09:09:00.000-08:00I am not going to get all hostile the way some hav...I am not going to get all hostile the way some have. <BR/>But it's rather obvious that the NBA is more popular than the NHL. <BR/><BR/>But just focusing on the graph itself, I think looking attendance alone is not a great indicator of which league is more successful/popular. How much has the average NHL ticket been over this time or year by year during this time period vs. the prices of the NBA tickets during this time period? I have a feeling the NBA's tickets where much more expensive. Someone also mentioned the television access problem. I'm not familiar with that, but if someone can't watch their local team on TV, then of course they are going to be willing to shell out more money to see the game live. Especially if the tickets are very affordable.<BR/><BR/>But beyond that the NBA garners more revenues and has much more valuable teams than the NHL. Check forbes for the info. And as mentioned before, there is a huge difference between the two in TV ratings.Nate Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847444768500002905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-49557061328666184162008-11-24T09:06:00.001-08:002008-11-24T09:06:00.001-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nate Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847444768500002905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-81267616850358615412008-11-24T09:06:00.000-08:002008-11-24T09:06:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nate Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847444768500002905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-81996231098177669152008-11-22T18:06:00.000-08:002008-11-22T18:06:00.000-08:00In Chicago the Blackhawks are back and becoming mo...In Chicago the Blackhawks are back and becoming more popular than the Bulls...

The best example is Denver, where the Avs routinely sell out, yet will never be able to get the numbers the Nuggets could (if they sold out, that is), simply because the Pepsi Center fits an extra 1,000 people for basketball than for hockey. Which explains why looking at percentage or raw numbers is insufficient - you have to look at both.<BR/><BR/>As Steve points out, the NHL is winning both of those battles right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-30151379381887366542008-11-21T08:49:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:49:00.000-08:00Chris, from looking at the ESPN stats, it's possib...Chris, from looking at the ESPN stats, it's possible to figure some averages. The average arena size in the NBA is 19,517 seats. The average in the NHL is 18,230. The NBA is filling its stadiums 87.34% full. The NHL is 93.58% full. Whether you measure by absolute number or by percentage, the NHL is filling its arenas more completely than the NBA. Now, that's probably in part due to the NHL's horrible TV availability, but it is not disputable that there are more butts in seats at hockey games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-66074923599954066722008-11-21T08:42:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:42:00.000-08:00Sorry 'soulhijacker', that comment was directed at...Sorry 'soulhijacker', that comment was directed at Anonymous.

If you merely factor in average attendance, then in the NBA teams like Charlotte that have much smaller stadiums will bring down the average considerably. If you actually look at the ESPN page, there are some teams which have lower overall attendance but are sold out, such as Boston which is in 10th and has sold out every game (look at PCT column). Most NBA teams are in the high eighties to nineties in terms of percent of seats filled. This graph doesn't mean a thing to me anyways because the NHL is incredibly boring and you couldn't pay me to watch it, whereas I'd give up my left nut to go to an NBA game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-64861087795142246212008-11-21T07:04:00.000-08:002008-11-21T07:04:00.000-08:00Wow.
