The model would imply there were about 800 - 850 fans here this morning (not counting the students in the upper deck, who, presumably would not be allowed to purchase 50-50 tickets), no matter what the paid attendance figures are. As I looked around the arena, it looked as if more folks arrived as the draw proceded, and so that figure may not be far off. I expect many of them had day passes or week-long passes and didn't bother to show up until later in the draw. Too bad. They missed some pretty exciting curling.

Let's face it: morning draws are not big draws even if Canada is playing; but they're even worse when Canada is NOT playing. Time for the CCA to plan to sell or give more tickets to school classes for draws like these in the future.
