Record playoff crowds are financial boon for Flyers

The Stanley Cup finals continue to be a gold mine for the Flyers, entering tonight's Game 6 at the Wachovia Center.

Comcast-Spectacor chief operating officer Peter Luukko confirmed yesterday that the two home games have brought in $3.5 million each.

In addition, he said the team has earned nearly $900,000 in food, beverages and merchandise per game.

"The gross numbers are mind-boggling," Luukko said.

The Flyers set an attendance record for an NHL game in Pennsylvania in Game 3 and then broke that mark for Game 4. *
