When is the game?

#CIT still has three 2nd round games scheduled for Monday night.

Wife and I now trying to figure it out. I'd wanna come in.

I think it would be a nice little throwback

Does everything in Blackham still work? Lighting, scoreboard? A/C?
This isn't NCAA or NIT. The Women's games have been great at EKL. The place holds about 1200. That would really be a "hot ticket" for the men's game. It would be the first sellout of a mens game since the early 70's. It could be a 1930's throw back game.

If Blackham were made ready, what would the capacity be?

[ManAboutTown]

4200 and some change I would guess...

[RaginScotsman]

Official capacity is 5500 for basketball.

I assume so. Many events are still held there throughout the year, each and every year.

I think all of the bottom bleachers were thrown away long ago. That means the fans will be way off of the court. I think 5k is about right. But if you really want to stir the pot........EKL. $20 a ticket....general admission. No Rcaf advantage.
