Both sports are exciting and fast-paced, and fans have responded to it. Season ticket sales were brisk for both from the beginning.

Walk-up (ticket sales) for the first (Stockton Thunder) hockey game was huge. We averaged 8,300 fans for Saturday hockey games, so I suspect we'll do that for football.

These most brisk and giddy-paced times.

It's another sign that our fans are very dedicated.

Judging by how sales have gone the past few days, I think we will have a sellout. That's what we're preparing for.

Judging by the sluggish ticket sales for the Cardinals-49ers (on Oct. 2), ... Mexico City fans know quality football when they don't see it.
