Why? Teams change all the time. When Colorado got a team was the old Rockies logo anything but acceptable?

Because that's my opinion now. When Colorado got the Avs from Quebec I was 11 years old and didn't know anything about tradition or history.

South Florida is a popular place for Canadian immigrants, at least that's what my brother tells me who lived just north of Miami for over a decade. Florida also has a lot of "snowbirds", northerners who travel south for the winter.

All I know is last time I was in Atlanta I got 2 seats for the thrashers/avs game, 4 rows from the glass the day before the game for $20 a seat. I got there and the place was a ghost town.
