MTS Centre can actually hold 18,000?!

[slippy]

Haven't paid any attention to this "We Day" thing at the MTS Centre the other day, but according to several articles, there were 18,000 people (kids) in MTS Centre on Tuesday night!

It must have been very packed! Because from what I previously understood, the MAXIMUM capacity was something like 16,400 for a centre-stage concert. I think Metallica a few years back has this # of ppl in attendance.


Here's a pic from Tues. night:

They had floor seats except where the stage was set up and the stage was NOT the size used for a big concert

Interesting. I just assumed they packed more people than usual in the 57 suites and John Labatt Lounge Budweiser King Club.

Anyways, set the MTS Centre attendance record. Doubt they'll break it anytime soon.

So, they made the floor space smaller and jammed more people in. Big stink.

ya the stage is a small stage compared to concerts and they use every seat in the house plus floor, nothing is closed off.

A grand celebration of that wonderful video game console that has changed the lives of obese children everywhere!

Actually.... it's an event organized by Free The Children which influences others to make a difference in the world (charitably speaking). There are some celebrity guest speakers, bands, singers, etc. The school I teach at participates in this every year.
