This could very well be true, but today's Minneapolis paper
said that 3000 tickets are still available not counting the
500 held for each participating school.  This would imply that
attendance should be 12000 per session, but there probably will be a
lot of no shows (especially Thursday afternoon).
 
I'll be there in section 118 row S seat 1 (wearing some kind of
Minnesota hockey apparel).
