Re: RIT Tigers 2017 / 2018. Is time to go out and capture some prey!
I don't believe RIT bought up tickets (to their own event?). That would be a bit odd.
I do believe that there were sections set aside for the visiting teams in the past. Since fans of the teams we have been playing aren't likely to travel to play against an AHC team, regardless of the arena, and they all have D-I football teams playing the same day, those seats didn't sell at all.
I do think this year's crowd was much smaller than any of those games. Nowhere near being sold out.
Having not won this game recently plays a part, I'm sure. The fact that last year's team had such a disappointing finish didn't help much, either.
Maybe they need another FF run to bump the interest in the team back to 2010 - 2011 levels
