from Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald,
...the slumping economy is taking a toll on fan turnout—and in some ways, forcing the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers and the Florida Marlins to rethink how they do business….
The Panthers are averaging 15,156 tickets distributed per game, which is below last year’s 15,436 and 25th among 30 teams. But the number of people who actually attend Heat and Panthers games is lower, sometimes significantly so….
The Panthers also have canceled plans to add a $25 fee to tickets for marquee games this season.
Yormark hopes to boost single-game sales, which he says have been ‘‘somewhat affected’’ by the economy.
The economy has affected the Panthers in other ways, too—the team laid off several support staff employees and is no longer matching employee money in 401(k) accounts.
more Panthers talk along with other Sout Florida teams…
