Re: NHL in Omaha
Smaller market, indeed. Lincoln/Omaha is a good 700K+ smaller than the smallest current NHL market. Is that Winnipeg? I would have thought we were much closer. How does that compare with OKC and the NBA? My bad, I was looking at US franchises only. Vegas is the smallest one, next largest is Columbu...

The data shows 83% of the non-operated hours was due to no driver. If you look at the data from the January board me...
