Tonight's home game is sold out. Zero tickets are left at the box office.
After a disappointing loss at the hands of a last-place Phantoms team the night before, there's no doubt in my mind that the Pens will come out fired up and looking to win.
WB/S is 4-0 against Albany this season, a team they have handled better than any in the league so far.
In the past, sell-out crowds have been a regularity in Northeastern PA but it has dropped off in that department in the past few seasons.
The Pens rank 7th overall in attendance numbers in the league, their largest coming on opening night against Hershey -- 8,013.
This is the year, folks. Get out of your house and go support the best team in the American League.
