2504.  Typical crowds were 2000-2100 this past season.  The RPI game
was a sellout.

They only sell out a few games a year at this point, so something
larger would probably make a crowd of 2000, which looks and can sound
pretty big in Achilles, seem very small.  There was talk a few years
ago that raising the roof in the current building could be done to add
capacity if necessary, but I don't know if that went beyond
speculation at the time.

Interesting..  In my eight seasons of Union games, an announcement
that RPI is losing always draws a big cheer from the Union fans.  :-)
