I can't see you having a problem on Saturday afternoon. The Tsongas Arena is
brand new and Lowell has only played there six times now. The first five
were league games at the end of last year and tickets were hard to get. I
hear that an estimated 1000 people were turned away at the gates for the
final Lowell-UNH game.
 
In the past, games against RPI and other ECAC squads has drawn fewer than
average. It remains to be seen if league games are going to approach sellout
capacity on a consistnet basis but I would venture to guess that non-league
games will have decent ticket availibility.
 
I've never seen a 2:00 Saturday game and I imagine its because the AHL
Lowell team will be playing on Saturday night. This might induce a few more
"family outing" types in attendance. I'm really interested to see how the
attendance goes with the college team competing head-to-head with a pro
team.
 
In any case, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Its an awesome rink for
seeing a college game.
