The curtains/screens are retractable

"The facility seats 8,600, but standard capacity post-overhaul will be 4,500."

"Flexible in that a push-button screening system will allow the Tribe to unveil additional seats for games or events that might exceed the cozy 4,500."

"Saturday’s season-best crowd of 5,325 bumped average home attendance to 3,826, and the average for the previous 10 seasons ranged from 3,508 in 2018 to 2,071 in 2012. The largest crowd of the past decade was 6,028 versus Delaware in 2016."

What exactly does this mean? Where will they be in the configuration?

From what I have heard, it is for another 1000 seats. Don't discount the fact that there are a lot of areas with court seating in open areas that could be SRO. I'm sure that we could find more room to pack it if we had that much demand.

That said, doesn't it seem like it would be a great place for the tournament comparing it with the DC venue that we're going to in March?
