nodak651 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I know it's been talked about before, but it's summer and I don't feel like reading about Rocco's departure. The arena below has been built in Sioux Falls. How soon until a regional gets played here, assuming the playoff structure remains the same? Would Omaha put a bid in to host here? Would you rather host a regional here, instead of Fargo? Likelihood of a sell-out? Will an exhibition game ever be played here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more likely that after Omaha builds their new arena that they would put in a bid for the Century Link Center to host a regional.

The Exiled One Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Here's an idea I floated to the SCSU athletic director: St. Cloud State plays host to the west regional at the Target Center the same year the Gophers play host to the midwest regional at the Xcel. There are several reasons why I think this would work out really well... • The Twin Cities is a great college hockey market. The NCAA makes bank here. • It doesn't matter who gets placed at the Xcel, the Gophers will draw. • The Huskies would draw better than Cinncinnati or Toledo has in the past couple of years, especially if UMD, UW, MSUM, or UND was placed here. • If the Huskies missed the tounament, the NCAA Tournament selection committee would bend over backwards to get UND into this regional It's the last two points I think would appeal to UND fans. It'd be your best opportunity to appear in front of a very UND friendly crowd WITHOUT the Gopher fans in attendance. Weems and Teague would have to coordinate. I assume Faison and (UMD's) Berlo would at least endorse the plan. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 St. Cloud State plays host to the west regional at the Target Center the same year the Gophers play host to the midwest regional at the Xcel. Why not just have UND host at Target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneksioux Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Why not just have UND host at Target? Because they pretty much will anyway. Just not on paper:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exiled One Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Because they pretty much will anyway. Just not on paper:) You're not wrong, but it'd still be a better scenario for SCSU even if UND was placed there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
