 Quinnipiac on the other hand has risen from D-II/III to be a perrential power in a "mid-major" conference, outbid several other schools to join the ECAC and won the bid due to proving their committment (Steve Hagwell's term - and I can't be the only one who thought that was a not-so-veiled shot at Union, can I?), is building a brand new (gorgeous via the pictures) athletics center, and regularly buses their fans to "away" home games and tournaments.[/Q]
Which leads to an odd statistic if you look at attendance numbers on USCHO:

190.8% of capacity for "home" games

[/q]

as Fred pointed out, this is a result of busing fans to "home" games in other venues. Northford Ice Pavilion has a listed capacity of 1,000 and the average attendance of their "home" games is not surprisingly is 1,907.7 (2297 1043 5049 1027 1015 1016).

Those are nice figures though for an off-campus "home away from home" facility.  If Cornell played its games at Cass Park, I wonder how many students would show up.

Quinnipiac "home" attendance:

Northford Ice Pavilion (Capacity: 1000)
Oct 14  -  1016 (102%)  RIT
Oct 15  -  1015 (102%)  Bentley  
Oct 27  -  1027 (103%)  AIT
Nov 05  -  1043 (104%)  Dartmouth
Average:  1025 (103%)

Hartford Civic Center (Capacity: 15635)
Nov 04  -  5049 (32.3%)  Harvard

Ingalls Rink (Capacity: 3486)
Nov 26  -  2297 (65.9%)  Princeton

Total Attendance: 11447
Weighted Capacity: 3854
Percent of Weighted Capacity: 49.5%

The Deerticks have 5 more dates at Ingalls and 5 at Northford left on the RS schedule.  Net weighted capacity will be 2847.  There'll be at least one 3486 remaining on the schedule - I'd be very disappointed if we don't fill the rink in January - and possibly two (Yale game).

On the other hand, if we played one game there, we could probably fill it to like 10,000% capacity.  :-D
