Do I ever really leave?
Ooo! weird things
Yes, I've been there, it's been awhile though....
It's basically the same layout as the ACC, except there are only two levels of seating besides the floor, although Copps has a slightly larger capacity, by a thousand or so, I think, around 21,000.
Okay, I assumed that the show was probably fairly close to sold out. We were in shock approaching the building - light traffic, very few people walking in that direction...almost Twilight Zonish.
Very few people inside milling about too, whereas with EJ, you could barely move in there. We ran into my niece and her hubby in the corridor, and I had thought the odds of meeting them in the crowd would be slim (I didn't even know they were going too until a few weeks ago)...so, talked to them through the opening act, who sounded like he sucked...then for a while after, till we all went to take our seats. When we walked onto the floor area, I was stunned - only about 1/3 of the arena was in use, the rest was curtained off...so, the stage was probably set up in the very center of the floor, as opposed to being at the end. As well, ALL of the top level in the stands was curtained off. So, the crowd was using probably just over 1/3 or the lower level stands, and less than half of the floor.
I bet there were no more than 2000 - 3000 people there tonight.
Probably could have all fit into H Place.
So, I'm guessing tickets didn't sell very well...
