For someone not from the States something that has always confused me is when people show up for a game and when they don't. I realize that early weekday games don't get people there in time (don't know why they exist but ok) but what about tonight's game between the Leafs and the Rangers? Can't recall ever seeing an empty seat at MSG, perhaps rarely.
I realize that season ticket holders can't make it to every game and perhaps don't have the time to get someone else into the seat but why are 15-20% of the seats empty tonight? People still in traffic?
