Capacity

There has been some back and forth regarding what the capacity of Alico Arena really is, so I thought a topic should be started. One side of the discussion has Alico at 4,500 because that's what the builders website says it has for seating. The other side of the discussion is including standing room in the capacity number.

To me, "capacity" should include standing room because there have been many games that have exceeded just the seats. But in comparison, a high major program such as KU has their arena listed at 16.3k which is sourced as "seating capacity".

Thoughts? BahamaLlama8 (talk) 00:54, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

FGCU's official athletics page has the "capacity" of Alico Arena listed as 4,633 and does also state 4,500 as seating capacity. BahamaLlama8 (talk) 00:59, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

• Now the page says 4,633 capacity and 4,333 fixed seats. Why are we talking about standing room? Isn't seats the most common measure? The articles on Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena, ETSU/Mountain States Health Alliance Athletic Center or Allen Arena, all A-Sun basketball facilities, list their seats. I've removed the record attendance addition to the info box. That's not really a needed modification. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
