Seating @ Union

[dbilmes]

Bizarre that every sold-out Union game that I have attended features pockets of empty seats. Maybe some are standing a la Lynah of old.  Maybe some imbibers can't walk to/find the rink.

A sell-out doesn't mean all of the seats are filled. It just means they've been sold. When I went to the Q-Colgate last weekend, the guy at the ticket window told me they only had standing-room tickets available. It turned out that approximately 20 percent of the seats (probably more) were unoccupied -- and it wasn't because a lot of people were milling about. I was surprised that the game was labeled a sellout.

Agreed, but this does seem to have happened at more than a few games at Messa.  Was Colgate on break?

The game was at Quinnipiac, and Q was on break, but the empty seats were scatted all over the rink. The section where the Q students usually sit was actually fairly filled with youth hockey teams and cub scouts who were sold group packages for the game.,
