Murphy13 185 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 question... I am pretty sure the orena has a capacity of somewhere around 17,248...right? well the announced crowd was like 17,511 or something. where were those extra 300 people? did some people leave early because of the blowout? i saw plenty of empty seats on tv... someone who went to the game, can they verify a sellout/beyond capacity crowd?

davcivic 11 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 the numbers are usually based on ticket sales not actual turnstyle counts.... what is the exact capacity? I have no clue....but I can find out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ned Ryerson 94 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Yes, capacity is 17,248. And, no there were nowhere near that many people there. There were a few empty seats in the lower bowl, and A LOT of empty seats behind the baskets in the upper bowl. Id say there were 15,000 there, max. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Murphy13 185 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 thats what i figured wpmagic. i would have expected that place to be overflowing for the first game of the season, with such high expectations. maybe bc it was halloween, or a weeknight... according to wikipedia, the new arena will house about 18,500. i wonder if we will ever be able to fill it up at this rate.

Jareth Cutestory 678 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 I tried to get 10 dollar tickets but it said they were sold out. That blows. The OCTB probably bought up tickets for all of his fries on the sides. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
