Considering the boos he got at the Super Bowl, I have some faith in Boston.

I mean, if Trump is going to go to a northern city and get cheers, it's going to be Boston.

??? Trump got 22% of the vote in Suffolk County.

And that's who will show up at TD for the game.

More in the suburbs. More among higher-income folks who can afford tickets to international sports events. And even 22% of an arena can make a pretty loud noise.

Same thing applies to the Super Bowl though. The only difference is you may have a few more celebrities attending that over a hockey game.

I imagine the hockey fan demographic skews right, but I would still expect more boos than cheers in Boston.

I would think that depends on the market. Big metropolitan areas, especially on the coasts, lean pretty blue.

Yes of course. If you grab a resident of Boston at random, the odds are about 3:1 she voted for Harris. But if you instead select at random a *Bruins season-ticket holder*, I bet it's more like 50/50.

You really think so? I'm a Caps STH, and I can promise you the arena is definitely left leaning. You're thinking of the cost of tickets? Unless you're telling me the Boston 'burbs are Republican? I guess DC 'burbs must be very different then.

NHL fans nationally are about R+25. That doesn't quite overcome the Boston-area lean, which is more like D+40, but it's more like 58-42 instead of 70-30.
