That analyst would be none other than barry melrose.  It's nice to
know the press box has good views.

i'm on the aisle in seat 1 in the "federal league" jersey

34,000 tickets sold and given away does not mean 34,000 bodies in the
arena at once. Also, a whole lot of them were at the 13.33/game price.
would really like to hear the ticket sales revenue numbers. Do the
math. Normal price is $60/game.  presume a 19,000 seat arena. Revenue
is 1.14 M.  Now consider 10k seats at $60/game and 24k seats at
$15/game is only 0.96 M.
