The Florida Panthers have successfully sold out their arena throughout the postseason, boosting local hockey interest and uniting the community. However, viewership in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area for their Stanley Cup playoff games remains disappointing, with only 3.2% of homes tuning in. This is notably lower compared to local ratings for other sports like the NBA Finals and NFL games. Factors affecting these ratings include the broadcasting on cable versus free TV, which limits access for potential viewers and highlights a disparity in interest between different sports in the region.
The Panthers have consistently sold out their arena this postseason, elevating the level of hockey interest in South Florida, but viewership remains disappointingly low.
