Does the Moncton coliseum rope off certain seats for basketball? According to the article there was only 6000 seats but I thought I saw higher numbers for hockey games where I would typically expect the opposite to be true.

I was there...it was mostly the ends behind the baskets that were empty despite the free tickets. Decent crowd, into it, seemed knowledgable about the game.
4500 for a free pre-season game...pretty good if you ask me.
