Flyers Flying Under the Radar
The Flyers are playing inspired, entertaining hockey and proving they’re worth your attention again — even if the attendance numbers haven’t caught up yet.
On October 30, 2025, the Philadelphia Flyers celebrated a win against the Nashville Predators at Xfinity Mobile Arena, with an announced attendance of 15,812.
However, it's no secret that the attendance figure released for sporting events often differs from the actual number of people in the building. The "drop count," which represents the number of people who actually walk through the doors, is the metric teams really look at.
Every league does it a little differently, but while the public attendance is usually tickets sold, or tickets out (in case of comps), the number teams really look at is the "drop count."
Author's summary: Flyers deserve a packed house with their inspired hockey.
