This is the latter. I don’t see the attraction.2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

Re: Utica College hockey. ..Can we catch a break this season?
People love their hockey in the Utica-Rome area, Comets 195+ sellouts, even D3 Utica College gets 3500+ a game, #1 D3 attendance in the country. You might be surprised how many people attend the games, won't surprise me at all.It all starts with the goaltending.

Originally posted by JSicedog View PostProbably still double the attendance for any other NCAA Final lol. If Utica was playing that year you wouldn't have been able to buy a ticket. They were next to impossible to get the year they hosted Bowdoin in the NCAA tourney and are impossible to get for the Teddy Bear Toss game every year unless you pre-order months in advance. The fan base would be top 20 at the D1 level, and its not even the best hockey to watch in town.

Originally posted by PSUChamps2001 View PostUmm you should probably fact check before going off the deep end. Of the 10 Eastern Neutral Site Championship games, Utica's (Norwich vs Trinity) ranks 9th out of 10 in LEAST attended. So yea, there is that. The other 9 Eastern Neutral Site Championship games AVERAGED 2700+, so there is that too. Utica supports UC hockey, sure. We all know why. They do great for the Teddy Bear toss (great job there too - had a coworker for the first time this year as his daughter got him tickets (she plays LAX at UC). Again, clap clap...but when you have the big stage of the NCAA Final Four (whether your team is in it or not) and you pull in the 2nd lowest total, sorry I don't consider you a hockey town. I am not saying the outdoor game will be a ghost town by any means, but expecting this event to sell out (or just be full) because Utica has a big home attendance record … and yes I realize UC is involved in some of it, but a true hockey city (more than comfy seats and a brew) would support a Final Four Championship. Heck even the little town of Lewiston ME had more fans (with two Western teams playing....)
You wont be able to convince me there is a D3 town/city out there that is more hockey crazed than Utica. Whats Plattsburgh draw like 500 a game now?

Re: Utica College hockey. ..Can we catch a break this season?
Not sure why I'm getting involved here but, here are the numbers.
2019-20 Utica 11 home games 40,433 attendance 3676 fans per game
2019-20 Oswego 10 home games 20,783 2078 fans per game
2019-20 Plattsburgh 13 home 19,113 1470 fans per game
I went back five years and Platty's best was 2016-17 4th 1578 fans per game 82% full
Utica has averaged 3300-3600 fans EVERY YEAR You haven't got a clue, enough said.It all starts with the goaltending.
