June 12, 2008 - ECHL (ECHL) News Release
BOCA RATON, Fla. - In an online poll conducted by MLN Sports for
its current issue of the digital magazine SZ, the ECHL was the only
professional hockey league represented finishing with seven of the Top 10
venues led by The Arena at Gwinnett Center, home of the Gwinnett
Gladiators, which finished third.
There were more than 11,700 votes cast for the venues of more than 800
teams in baseball, basketball, football, hockey and lacrosse. Fans were
allowed only one vote from an IP address and votes from club office IP
addresses were discarded so the rankings were totally fan driven.
The Nutter Center, home of the Dayton Bombers, was fourth while the
Stockton Arena, home of the Stockton Thunder and host of the 2008 ECHL
All-Star Game finished fifth and Germain Arena, home of the Florida
Everblades, was sixth.
Rabobank Arena, home of the Bakersfield Condors, finished seventh followed
by the Sovereign Center, home of the Reading Royals and host of the 2009 ECHL All-Star
Game. The Orleans Arena, home of the Las Vegas Wranglers, rounded out
the Top 10 while Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, Texas and Round Rock
Diamond in Round Rock, Texas finished first and second in the voting.
