22 teams are averaging at least 100% of seating capacity, compared to 17 last year.

26 teams are averaging at least 90%, and 24 above 95%, compared to 21 last year.

The bottom four teams this year: 86,84,81,70. Last year: 82,81,77,73.

I'm comparing a full season to only a few weeks; I don't have "to-date" figures for 2011-2012, and figures will be skewed by presence/absence of rivalry games, but it's certainly not the case that attendance is suffering because of the lockout.

Biggest losers:

Blues -7.4 points

Phoenix -2.5 points

Winners:

Dallas +19.8 points

Florida +16.6 points

Jersey +12.6 points

Carolina +11.3 points

Anaheim + 6.1 points

Unless they're giving tickets away or this was a "I need my fix" post-lockout spike, the league has to be giddy about those increases. Phoenix is interesting given the considerable improvement in some of the other expansion/weaker markets.
