It's a small auditorium, just a few hundred to a thousand or so - generally used for basketball games.

However, once this was announced yesterday - the tickets went out at 8:00AM. Word got out about it at 8:30, by 9:30 they were gone. They estimate to have turned away 2,500 to 3,000 people from 9:30 until 7 yesterday afternoon. They said the crowd outside was easily 1,000 people.

Oh, and the city of Bristol was having problems this morning with traffic control and public transportation. It was overwhelmed. This is coming from one of the cities that is used to huge swell of people in town from the NASCAR races in Bristol, TN twice a year.
