[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1059912, member: 17953"] No doubt about it, Minnesota is bigger in hockey than in Wisconsin. But, in Wisconsin, the sport has been growing fairly quickly in a lot of areas. The biggest problem has been finding money to build ice rinks in areas because there was such a lack of interest. But that's changing, and so is the scope of the game in Wisconsin. It starts with communities building skating facilities and youth hockey programs. Build them and it all naturally follows but it takes time. To tell you the truth, Minnesota is loaded with "hockey snobs," and that makes them less liked because of it. Even though they still produce more D1 level hockey players than any other state, Wisconsin has grown from not even being on the list to #6, and that's up two notches from 3 years ago. Interest is growing, and so are the number of rinks being built around the state. Interest is growing rapidly. But, true, still way behind Minnesota. In the meantime, your comment about attendance? Here's a fact. During this past season, the Badgers had an attendance of over 50% more than the Gophers and averaged 152.4% of their seating capacity. Minnesota meanwhile ended up with a 59.3% attendance rating. As you can see from this charting, it's the Badgers, at the D1 level, that has the fans, and Minnesota is not even close. EDIT: Seeing Minnesota-Duluth in 4th place with attendance is a real eye opener too. That's amazing for a smaller but highly competitive school.
