Empty Seats At The LCA

Per ESPN, the official crowd was 19,515 last night, capacity is 20,000.

yes, which is why i continually express surprise about the reports of sell outs.

my only conclusion is no-shows contribute heavily to empty seats.

i do not believe ALL those seats are for people somewhere else in the building. https://t.co/fRXevDBgqC — gregg krupa (@greggkrupa) October 5, 2018

Below, a picture of the crowd during the game.

Even giving late-arriving crowd a chance to arrive, still plenty of red seats empty in every section at #RefWings home opener vs CBJ pic.
