If you don’t know how to properly use search engines to find articles telling you what sports teams local tv ratings were in any given year, you’re beyond help, and you won’t believe it anyway, you seem dead set on believing the Pens are some huge draw just because they lead the NHL. It’s all relative.

Pirates ~40,000 per game avg.

That’s it. That’s near half of what the Penguins get.

In 2015, Pirates were much higher. It’s typically more even, or Pirates higher.

The pirates should hire you when they’re trying to sell this shit team’s broadcast rights to next RSN.

2015 is just as relevant as Covid year 2020 when the entire season was delayed months, leading to serious disinterest across the entire sport.
