Actually, the problem of how far the rink was from the stands was secondary. The primary problem -- and this is just bizarre -- is that people anywhere in the stands (other than the outfield bleachers and the Green Monster seats) who were sitting anywhere in the first 15 or so rows were actually below the level of the rink. That's why they had to stand!!
