      ESPN just showed the first shot of the arena at a wide angle, several minutes into the 2nd people. Maybe it's just a late arriving crowd?? lol

      This had to have been a really soft ticket. Looking at Ebay completed auctions, most went unsold and the few that did sell were under face value.

        Do I recall correctly that fans must stay in the arena between games?
        I'm assuming it will fill in during the second period.

          Yeah, they're not clearing the place out with an hour between the games.

            It's Thursday just past 5:30 pm.. . I wonder when the local walk up crowd will walk up? It's 'after work' for the 8:30 to 5ers now...

            Also, as none of these schools have been to the Frozen Four (It wasn't the FF when Yale did it in '52), how are they at travelling to support their teams?
            Here we come!

              Billmich said in the other thread they had over 600 returned tickets from the schools involved.

                There were way more people at Tampa last year for the Ferris/Union game. The place looks about two thirds full at best.

                  Well it doesn't help that a bunch of flights out of the midwest were canceled due to a snowstorm.

                  Edit: anybody have a link to some live stats?

                    most of the stands have filled in nicely. even the upper deck is packed. the exception happens to be the most visible seats. the club seats which were given to corporate partners in sections 111, 113, 114 and much of 112 are a wasteland. It's really embarrassing. Those seats should go to actual fans who will show up.

                    The only other section I see which is sparsely occupied is 116 from row 2 to row 13.

                      Just walked around the concourse and saw that QU and St. Cloud fans are filling up their seating areas.

                        Astonishing! Playoff hockey fans (other than bachelors) prefer to spend a couple of $K to attend a tournament in Tampa at the end of a long winter rather than save a couple hundred bucks and travel time attending a tournament in Pittsburgh at the height of mud season.

                            As usual an awful lot of lower bowl seats between the face-off dots are empty

                              Dear old ticket buyers who don't come, please don't renew. There are plenty of people who would like your seats.
