topher805 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 What is the capacity there in that arena? Official is 7,203, but I think it can push higher...Hearing they have had crowds of close to 8,000 when it comes to standing room only type situations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But chair seating reduced capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Smaller than I thought, figured they would have expanded to 10K by now with the state of the mens bball program as of now. With the current setup, the only way to hit 10k would be to go back to bleacher seating, which isn't going to happen. Too much money in season ticket sales. I wouldn't be opposed to moving to bleacher seating for the student section, helping squeeze a few more fans in. Attendance isn't quite there yet though. In fact, attendance was actually down this past season because of a very weak non-conference schedule, including one game at the old Shelton Gym (Capacity 800). I still think we finished north of 4,000 a game, with two sell outs. I expect next year to push 4,500-5,500 depending on the schedule Keller can put together.
