Poll indicates not much interest in attending Hurricanes games

Even though Capital Sports is getting 100-plus unique visitors to its site each day, only a handful of people were interested in responding to this week's poll question: The Carolina Hurricanes open the home schedule Oct. 27. How many games will you attend this season?

I'm assuming that means that our readers don't have a good feel for how many games they will attend or that they don't care enough about hockey to even answer the question.

Of the respondents to the poll 55 percent said they would not attend a Hurricanes game at all this season. Only one voter said he would attend 10 or more games. Two others said they'd attend one or two while one voter said he'd attend three to five games.

Hurricanes games aren't inexpensive but they are a fun time and the club has managed to make it more of a family-friendly event than at some other NHL arenas.
