According to a recent Forbes NHL Revenue Report the Edmonton Oilers are the highest revenue-generating franchise in the NHL.
Playoff success and superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl drive ticket sales every year
It should not come as a surprise, really, given the local fanbase's passion and love for their home-team; that they've been successful in the playoffs the last four years, certainly doesn't hurt.
Edmonton fans' unwavering support creates an electric atmosphere at Rogers Place, helping to motivate the team on the ice. Fans are invested in their team, and it shows with sell-out crowds and busy concession stands and kiosks.
And the team's success means more assistance for charities, as well. The Fan Appreciation 50/50 raffle supports Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Oilers 50/50 tickets are available at the game and online at EdmontonOilers.com/5050.
"The Oilers have the best fans in the league," said Stew MacDonald, President, OEG Sports & Entertainment. "They're passionate, engaged, knowledgeable, loyal, loud and they give the Oilers an unrivaled home-ice advantage whenever the team takes the ice at Rogers Place. We are looking forward to sharing our appreciation at our home games, and from the Oilers and everyone at OEG Sports & Entertainment, we extend a huge thank-you to all our fans in Oil Country and beyond. Let's go Oilers!"
The Oilers have one of the most engaged fans in digital media consumption and social media engagement. Oilers fans are also among the loudest in the league, with sound levels reaching close to 115 decibels in Rogers Place.
The Oilers welcomed close to 600,000 fans to ICE District during last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs, with up to 30,000 fans visiting ICE District during each home and away game to cheer on the team.
