The location of the arena doesn’t help either, as it’s surrounded by strip malls and chain shopping centers (think Target and Marshalls). Other arenas are either downtown or in the city’s center, surrounded by restaurants, sports bars, or sports apparel stores. The Hartford Wolf Pack had the worst record in the league, yet averaged over 5,500 per game, with the location being a big plus. Wilkes-Barre is a town without a real downtown or city center, yet the location is still unappealing for fans.
