Redneksioux Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 What are the chances this ends up getting moved to the Ralph because of the demand for these tickets if und makes the tournament? If this stays in Fargo with only 5000 seats available, buying a chunk of tickets would be a good roi buy. Quote

If this stays in Fargo with only 5000 seats available, buying a chunk of tickets would be a good roi buy. Moving it after a venue went through the work of planning and submitting a proposal to host, and then having the site publicly awarded? No. The NC$$ has been quite content to award sites to venues which sit nearly empty. They will not view a 4500 seat venue packed to the rafters as a problem worth solving. 1 Quote
UNDBIZ Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 He is as the NCHC rep. maybe he wasn't able to fight for the Ralph to host with all the football and volleyball stuff going on. The big question to ask is finding a football coach more important then hosting a regional at the Ralph. Yes it is, but the 2 have nothing to do with each other. 1 Quote

If it were to get moved, it would basically be the NCAA admitting they made a mistake, and that's incredibly unlikely. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Yes it is, but the 2 have nothing to do with each other. Exactly...I would hope the AD of a D1 athletic dept. could multitask. Quote
siouxforcefans Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I'd say 0% chance. If it were to get moved, it would basically be the NCAA admitting they made a mistake, and I'm more likely to win the lottery. Hope you don't mind, but I fixed that for you 1 Quote
tnt Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I'd say 0% chance. If it were to get moved, it would basically be the NCAA admitting they made a mistake, and that's incredibly unlikely. It would be nice to sell out this regional in 10 minutes and make the NCAA ponder how many more seats they could have sold had they not been so hypocritical. Of course we know the NCAA isn't about making money though, it is about being fair to everyone. 1 Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Oh if only the nickname had been changed twenty years ago, we wouldn't be in this predicament... Whatever. The NCAA has a burr in its saddle about Grand Forks, ND and probably always will. Quote
Fetch Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I don't want those f---in idiots in Ralphs building Quote
UNDBIZ Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Oh if only the nickname had been changed twenty years ago, we wouldn't be in this predicament... Because we wouldn't even have the new Ralph....... Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 If you think the NCAA is going to do us any favors in the near future, than you are kidding yourself. Quote
Frozen4sioux Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Dan "The Fargo failure" hammer now insulting people as uneducated about und hockey.... Hypocrisy knows no bounds "@Hamsbrew: Uneducated. Those who believe Scheels Arena outbid the Ralph for NCAA regional hockey tournament. It was a joint effort." Quote
jodcon Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Of course the obvious solution for the NCAA is sending UND to South Bend, that would solve the attendance issue at both venues and be another kick in the nuts to our hostile, abusive school. Quote

Those who believe Scheels Arena outbid the Ralph for NCAA regional hockey tournament. It was a joint effort." Is there anything false about his tweet? The Ralph and UND put in 2 bids for the regional tournaments. One was to be held at the Ralph. The other was a joint bid with Scheels Arena. Therefore Scheels couldn't outbid the Ralph if the Ralph was part of the bid. 1 Quote

UND is the host school for Scheels, so if UND makes the tournament in 2015 they will be at Scheels. First time in years that UND doesn't have to go play in someone else's back yard. Quote

Didn't realize that was set in stone, good to know, too bad about the limited seating though, lot of fans are going to be left out unless they pay scalper prices. Quote

Snake Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Hey jodcon, don't beat yourself up over that one. Most of us thought the "no on-campus venues for regional host sites" was set in stone, too. At least we're hosting the same year they're allowing an on-campus regional. Thankfully we won't have to be one of the poor suckers sent to South Bend to play Notre Dame on their home ice. I wouldn't feel bad if Minnesota or Michigan had to do it! 1 Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Now until the end of time Minnesota will ALWAYS be put in the same region as UND ALWAYS. 1 Quote
Snake Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Now until the end of time Minnesota will ALWAYS be put in the same region as UND ALWAYS. ...and it's even easier to do now that they're not in the same conference and can have a first-round match-up. Quote
UNDColorado Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 ...and it's even easier to do now that they're not in the same conference and can have a first-round match-up. I was thinking the same thing. I we make a regional this year I would bet we will be with MN...never fails. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Because we wouldn't even have the new Ralph....... Because my post was thick with sarcasm... You see, UND changed the nickname like the NCAA wanted...and is still getting the shaft. Now the company line is "well, you should have done it years ago and we wouldn't be in this situation and the NCAA would give us regionals and stuff." No, they wouldn't. Quote
UNDBIZ Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I was thinking the same thing. I we make a regional this year I would bet we will be with MN...never fails. You never know, they might send us out east to face BC. 1 Quote
