I dont know.
    I went through the pick your own seats tool and came up with 2900 seats plus suites, bleachers and handicap along the glass. The MTU ticket site says capacity of 4,466 so I guess that could be the capacity for hockey games including SRO.

      The pick a seat tool cuts out sections H and P for me.

      That 4466- never heard that number but it makes more sense than 4200. I'll buy that.

        You can look at H if you want and I assumed P was the same size. Also had to make assumptions about L/M because they are reserved for students so "soldout"

Michigan Tech Recreation calls the 4200 "seating capacity" and includes this note about special events:I think the "can accomodate" # is what is governed by fire safety (egress) law. And, as has been pointed out, it's a hockey game... safety schmafety. But it would be impossible to give 5,600 people a view of the ice... things like commencements include seats on the rink.
          If they sell out there should be a plan to show the game on the campus network. Get the fringe crowd.

Most arenas list the capacity as seats but I'm almost positive that the listed capacity of MacInnes is 4200 including standing room. Those other games from the 70s wouldn't fly today based on fire marshall rules. I'm pretty sure I've heard stories of those games and how there were people standing in the aisles and everything else.
            If like college football, they count the players, coaches, band, trainers etc. all as attendance.

              I just went through and came up with the following:

              Section - # of Seats
              A - 107
              B - 237
              C - 206
              D - 210
              E - 238
              F - 212
              G - 238
              H - 133
              I - 104
              J - 208
              K - 184
              L - 180 - Guessed - assumed losing first couple rows to benches & last couple to press box
              M - 180 - Guessed - assumed losing first couple rows to benches & last couple to press box
              N - 176
              O - 208
              P - 133 - Guessed - assumed same as H
              Suites - 252 - (8 suits @ 10, 2 @ 12, 2 @ 25, 1 @ 98)
              SRO - 1000 - Per the ticket site - 2 blocks of 400 & 1 block of 200

              Total Est Capacity - 4206

              Plus once you add in Ushers, Players, Coaches, officials, Press, Concessions, Blizzard, Zamboni driver, etc. I could see where you could get to that 4466 number pretty easily.

              Looks like about 750 SRO tickets left for Saturday.

                Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

                    I guess I could have posted my results, since I got the same numbers you did but according to the image, you lose rows 16 and 17 for the press box about sections L/M. I had 152 each for those two and you missed the presidential suite that holds 55 people.

                      Yep, I was looking at section D for a rough comparison I took the 2 rows out for the press box, but forgot the student side has 2 less rows to begin with.

                        do we know Michigan's flight number yet?

                            How did you guys come up with the 1000 standing room spots? I see 200 for sale on the ticket site. Do they hold on to 800 SRO for walk-up only? When I go to the menu to select my own seat I can't see section H, P, the alumni suite, or the SRO on the zamboni end. Can you guys actually see those seats on your computers? I've tried using chrome and IE on a few different computers and it looks the same- it cuts off at just above the crease.

                            Friday can't come soon enough.

                              Surely somebody already knows this. Students must be busy or something? When Conner and Murphy were being considered for the Hobey Baker the students had the fan voting rigged within hours.

                                Standing Ice - This is by the bleachers - 200
                                Standing Ice Too - This is the Zamboni End - 400
                                Standing Concourse - 400
