Per Shama:

Phil Esten, UST vice president and director of athletics, told Sports Headliners earlier this month that public season tickets for men’s basketball have increased from about 200 to the 400 range as the Tommies get ready for their first season in the arena. Students are admitted free to the arena that will seat over 5,000 for basketball.

It's going to take some time to consistently fill the arena. Going from about 2,000 to 5,000 isn't likely to be a quick jump, except for special occasions (arena opener, big conference games, etc.).

Yeah I think adding St John’s was about the rivalry obviously but it will also fill the stands…
