So is this the week we will be told details of the Westchester Liberty?
As a STH I am losing patience

Scientists have concluded that there are more signs of life on Mars than in the Liberty front office.

Thanks for all this. Drawing on the link you provided, I got curious and just counted four sections. A section on the side at the highest level had 72 seats. Another had 86 seats. A section on the highest level behind one of the baskets had 105 seats. A section on the side that's closer to the court had 108 seats. I can't believe that sections of courtside seats will have as many as those sections do.
That's all the counting I'm willing to do. My guess: your estimate of 3,000 seats is right on the mark. No way that this map shows 5,000 seats. And no way to know how many can perhaps be added in unused spaces. |
I'm curious about this too, because the first time I saw a photo of the interior I thought "no way in hell that seats 5000 people", plus it's suspicious that the capacity is listed as 5000 for both basketball and concerts.
This article from July 2014 includes this photo:
... which is captioned "The Westchester Knicks' first season at the 2,100-seat Westchester County Center in White Plains starts in November."
Looking at a seating chart for a Westchester Knicks game this week, I count approx. 2,164 seats available for general public purchase, and that's most of the arena accounted for - i.e. not too much space left over to get creative with makeshift seating, or to account for corporate boxes and such. I would have guessed that 2,800 would be the absolute max in basketball mode.
I don't get how their attendance record of 3,341 was physically possible, but you can definitely forget about 5,000. That could only be for concert mode, with the court covered in seats.

That angle makes it look exactly like NJ's walsh gym...which holds closer to 2000 tho their capacity has been overstated as well...only thing I do see is seats on the stage but who really wants to sit on bleachers propped up on a stage?

I tried to get tix to a Westchester Knicks game comparable to where I’d want to sit. There are barely any left yet the high for attendance is 2,500 or so. They can probably get some risers on that other baseline but that 3,300 figure I think is the absolute max. For that I’d rather they play at Fordham. Geez.
Anyway, I wonder if they’ll get 3,000 people. I may have to buy season tickets to guarantee a seat where I want it.

I believe those seats behind the basket are typically curtained off for Westchester Knicks games. Looks like it holds about 1,000.

been waiting a few days to see if anyone else got this...but there was an STH survey sent out that seemed to indicate select a seat will be next sunday the 4th anyone else confirm?
also seemed to lampshade the capacity issue...which is good...said all along KEIA CLARKE GETS IT...it's all the other garbage above her that's causing the trouble...and that's a lot of garbage.
I'm with Lib Fan...just wanna know travel time and options...ESPECIALLY with weekdays...I know I cant make 7 on a midweek but it seems logical (I swing shift on Fridays, start early, end early) that I can make 730 on a Friday...that makes a HUGE difference...cant make Fridays it's basically every weekend I'm either at the SUN or at the LIBS...pick one...there's 1 back to back and 1 overlap...12 games...but If we can change our package and keep our benefits...I'm not walking up on those Fridays either...walking up seems...ill advised.
I'm reserving judgement until after the 4th...anyone else going (Who are STH still on this board)

I've noticed most teams have announced single game tickets have gone on sale. Nothing from the Liberty about single game tickets or even season ticket prices. I realize this was a huge wrench moving to Westchester and things are expected to be delayed, but it would be nice to have some kind of answers at this point.

I am going Sunday. I know they staggered the times. i have a friend slated at 1, i am slated at 2 and other friends at 4. I suggested to Gabby to tell the higher ups to release the prices. it will help people figure out what they want to do. she did says she was in discussion to try and get the prices released.

Our timeslot is at 3; we're trying to move to an earlier one, though. (LIU's Senior Day is at 2 and we're not above doing a cannonball run to get from White Plains to Brooklyn in time.)

Looks like we'll be missing Senior Day to pick an overpriced seat. Our rep sent out the seating chart, and the cheapest seat- cheapest- is $29/game.
I'm trying to love this team. I really am. But come the fuck on are you fucking serious.

Not telling people they shouldn't be unhappy, but realistically speaking the worst seat at WCC is probably as close to the court as a good seat in MSG. Secondly, given the built-in reduction in attendance, there is only so much the team can cut prices. For example, if they get 50% of their MSG crowd (optimistic) and cut prices to 75%, then the team is pulling in 37.5% of last year's box office revenue. Even with cheaper arena rental, the rest of your costs are the same. So, while I understand why fans feel they should get a much bigger discount for the lesser experience and longer travel, the business' cost structure may not allow for that. Not suggesting that I have any kind of inside information. Just pointing out that fairness and reality may be at odds no matter where they move.

I was expecting the cheap seats to still be $20 a la the general admission seats at MSG.
