Attendance

[edit]

The total attendance for the inaugural games held on December 28 was listed as 11,663, while 10,797 turned out for the next day's games. The attendance total of 22,460 exceeded what had been hoped for by the event's planners, who estimated only 5,000 - 6,000 fans for each day of the games.[14] The inaugural Classic also took part during the 2012–13 NHL lockout, which may have helped increase interest in the event.[1]
