They did try that and still no one came. The Baldwins even got in trouble with the AHL for giving away thousands of tickets, faking their numbers, and counting tickets that were never even used. There were a few games where they said they had around 4000 people and there were barely 1000 in the building. The best example of that was the Whale Bowl. They said that they sold over 40,000 tickets and they announced the game had over 20,000 people, yet there was barely 15,000 people at the game.
