10k included Fordham, Rutgers and Iona fans but we did have the most fans and the student turnout was the best in a long time as they were behind both baskets.10K with students on break and against a 1-7 team, not bad at all. Kudos to the students, despite the ugly first half, they were into the game and on their feet the whole time. They even had a "lets go Redmen" chant. ; )
Of course, that 10k is for the entire event (2 games). I'm sure there were people amongst that total who were there for Iona-Rutgers, who were at the bars for the first game. That being said, I stayed for the nightcap, and there were many more people in the stands at our game. But, true attendance for our game was more like 7 or 8k, I would guess.
I had tix for the 200's section and an MSG attendant was by the 200 escalator taking our tickets and giving us better tix in the 100's. So they had some fans like myself down in the 100's to fill unsold seats. I'm not sure if they normally do this or not but I didn't mind the seat upgrade.
