that's not the problem
You don't need a football sized crowd- here they play in a basketball sized arena. I've never had "good seats" at Joe Louis but I can follow what's going on from the "way up" seats. basketball size ticket sales are fine- they play lots of games (or were supposed to).
I guess it might be the problem of people who never played not being able to appreciate the game. And tons of kids are playing now- but in very select cities. A big chunk of my kids classmates are in hockey families, and there are several levels of travel leagues- I know families who take their kids to tournaments around the country every other weekend most all year round.
But then, at the college game I was at a few weeks ago- sitting near us is a travel team up from Cleveland for a tournament. And the dad sitting next to me is telling me how he lives in Columbus (several hours from Cleveland) and drives his kid to practices a few times a week because the only travel team is this one up in Cleveland. So point is, the sport isn't taking over the country

As anyone who has sat high in the corner on an NBA knows - hockey sight lines at games are far, far better.
There are few bad seats at MSG for Rangers games
