Message: [QUOTE="kibblesnbits, post: 4493123, member: 97"] Forr those wodering how SHU built an extra 1,000 seats for similar money, the answer is they didn't. Now that tickets are on sale you can see their seating chart at: [URL]https://www.ticketmaster.com/sacred-heart-pioneers-mens-ice-hockey-fairfield-connecticut-01-20-2023/event/1D005D6AB4D61617[/URL] The lower bowl seats 2,650 with another 250 upstairs for a total of 2,900. That includes what appears on the seating chart to be a drink rail row (at a premium price) that wasn't on the videos (perhaps they hadn't been installed yet) so SRO may be limited, making it unlikely they'll reach 3,600 even with standing room. The bottom line is that their $70M (originally announced at $60M pre-construction) rink is only marginally bigger if at all compared to UConn's $70M rink. Everyone was hit with the massive construction cost increases since the pandemic started 3 years ago. [/QUOTE]
