I was also in Milwaukee for the BC beatdown of UND. Here is my account of that, my only Frozen Four trip thus far:
Wow, talk about a letdown.
Driving all that way, finally getting there a few hours before puck drop,going to the alumni party, packed shoulder to shoulder, tip back enough cold ones to feel good...walk to the arena with the band, stood outside the arena chanting and getting pumped up. Then, we get in the arena, took our seats in the upper level, no real atmosphere, other than the Sioux sections below us by the glass. BC comes down on our end and scores 3 quick ones in the first, snipe shots. The alcohol starts wearing off, and we are dumbfounded. Sioux make it close at the end, but still lose. That walk out of the arena, with tons of Wisconsin fans asking if we were selling our championship game tickets(which we didn't have) , was one of the worst as a fan for me.
We stayed in Milwaukee for an extra day, we went to the Miller Brewery the next day, saw lots of Sioux fans walking around, looking as lost as I felt, and a few smug BC fans. Left town, watched title game at my buddies in the Twin Cities, hit the road for GF on sunday.
Damn, that was a depressing rant by me, but it made me feel better, I think I had some repressed bad feelings!
I HOPE THIS YEAR IS BETTER!
