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. > Date: Fri, 9 Apr 2010 07:41:49 -0400 > From: Gary Thomas <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: Re: between the goal lines > To: [log in to unmask] > > I'm one row behind you (look for a guy and his young son in Gopher > jerseys).
