RE: Kentucky didn’t even fill up their arena. There were empty seats in
Bear in mind: The arena has a listed capacity of 20,500. The lower level features 10,000 theater-style seats; not a single one was empty. The upper level, with 10,500 more seats, took a while longer to fill. But by the time Pope stepped to the podium at 4:54 p.m. Sunday, there wasn't a seat to be had.
