Frozen Four 2013 Roll Call

[RichH]

The rink shots, especially game 2 Thursday, showed thousands of empty seats. How did it look to those attending?

What I'm calling the "corporate seats" or the "sponsor seats" in the lower bowl on the red line and the blue lines were much less than 50% full. The school tickets for each of the schools took up 2 sections in each of the corners, and were generally full.  Although Yale probably didn't have as many, there was still a solid block of blue.  Including the camera magnets of the four Y-A-L-E guys who were chest-painters and on the jumbotron during every break.

The upper deck, while not exactly packed, was much fuller than any of the non-school sections in the lower bowl.  I have a Frozen Four priority of 9, and still wasn't able to sniff any tickets in the lower bowl.  But let's keep giving "Corporate Champions" the prime lower bowl seats, even though nobody shows up.

By the time 11pm neared, and Quinnipiac still held a 4-1 lead, the already thinning crowd really made a rush to the exits.  It's a long day to be in an arena from 4-ish to past 11pm.

If only they had spelled our Ylae it would have been a great inside joke.
