Yes, up in the rafters there were several dozen empty seats, but that is ONLY BECAUSE about 3 thousand people were standing on the Arena Floor near the stage as you can see from the pictures, where normally — a basketball game would happen. In other words, fake news. There is a *fire code* that dictates the capacity. If the crowds are down on the floor, that counts as people. If they don’t sit in the rafters seats, those seats are irrelevant to the total count of people allowed in. Many many were standing down on the Arena floor, to be close to the stage.
Hope that makes sense.......
‘perfect sense’ Thanks and hope you had a fabulous time!
