Arena Rankings

All balcony seats above the front row at Matthews are horrible. Not to mention there's a bunch of obstructed view seats in the lower level from the new press box and/or the overhang.

Everytime I have seen PC at Northeastern, It is like a morgue with 1k people or less there.

And that's the other problem, outside of BC and BU games there it is a morgue because no one shows up outside of the handful of diehard students.

Student turnout (measured by student tickets scanned in) has been on the rise the last few seasons, and has been more consistent over the season versus peaks and falls through the year, even with the bad starts two years in a row. The general public attendance numbers, the people who sit in the lower bowl and the sides of the balcony, are pitiful. That's where NU gets lower attendance numbers from, the alum base in the area does not really turn out in droves and the non-affiliated fan has no desire to go. The students will always be there to tap into, but the school needs to work on attracting local families/casual fans if they want to see overall attendance numbers rise up.

"This 10,000-seat arena is always full, and rocking for their beloved Gophers."

Ok, clearly this guy has never been to Mariucci

I'd put the Ralph at a hair above PSU for my top two.

I really liked Vermont's rink, but I feel like I'm alone in that one.

Not at all. Gutterson Arena may be an old barn but when you have 4,000 loud fans at every game and a great pep band and a student section that counts down to the 4:20 mark of each period, you can't go wrong.
Far too may schools have large new arenas and sparse crowds (BC,BU)

Conte Forum has been open for 28 years. That's considered "new"? Even Agganis is 11 years old now. Not sure I'd call even that new.
