2. Any idea of the arena's seating capacity?

He'll be here in Dayton this evening at Nutter Center which seats 12,500.

At University of Toledo's Savage Hall, which seats about 10,000, more than 5,000 additional people were turned away.

There'll be shuttle bus parking for his appearance at Fifth Third arena in Cinci today.
