If you are looking at seatmaps, those aren't reliable. OP will likely have to hope for some other misconnects or no-shows. Flight arrived at gate at 5:53PM and AA2872 had 6:00PM gate departure according to Flightaware, so assuming OP didn't make it (unless gate arrival time is off - 14 minute taxi time on arrival seems on the high side).
6:47PM has 1 seat in F for sale
7:40PM has 1 seat in coach for sale
8:40PM is completely zeroed out
