jdub27 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 How about next time the NC$$ lets UND know they can bid for the Ralph. I heard they said UND couldv bid for the Ralph after Scheels center got it. Anyone know how that went? UND did put a bid in for the REA. Duluth put one in for Amsoil as well. Hasn't been disclosed if there were any other ones. Scheels Arena (who did their bid in conjunction with UND) received it because they were the best neutral site bid. The only way the REA will ever host if they are the only bid for a regional and there is no other options (identical to why Notre Dame is hosting at their own rink in South Bend). Quote
sioux rube Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 They're probly thinking, we should get more regionals here, lol The manager of Scheels was on 740 the fan and is hoping to get more in the future. That ain't gonna happen. Quote
ringneck28 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 They did bid for it, but it was awarded to Fargo to be neutral. If they wouldn't have bid Fargo they wouldn't have got it, Because others also bid it and they would have made the neutral choice again. The only reason Providence got it was because no one else bid for it. I believe Schlossman wrote about this in the paper. Not that it matters to much but Brown University is actually hosting the Providence regional, it is Notre Dame that got the on campus regional. I believe that the short travel had to do with the Friars being placed there. I mean, how short is short. BU and BC are within 60 miles of thier game sites. Don't get me going on this home cooking issue. Quote
Emerald joker Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I dont really read the paper any more after discovering Siouxsports about 6 years ago. Quote

runaroundsioux Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Why wouldnt it happen? Did i miss something? If we lose out there, it will be the worst hockey facility in the country, bad ice, bad seats,bad food,etc. If we win it will be the best facility for a regional tournament in the history of man,and we'll want it there every year. Simple. Quote
sioux rube Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Why wouldnt it happen? Did i miss something? I'm guessing the bigger facilities will get the bids. Have you not heard the bitching and moaning about how small the place is? Hey if I can get 4 tickets like I did this time around have it there every year. I'm guessing Sioux Falls will be bidding on it quite often along with the X and I'm sure Omaha will be in the mix. Hopefully Arizona St. will put in a bid. Love to go down there for a week in March.

runaroundsioux Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Bigger is not an issue in regionals, it is this year because UND is hosting, and it's in Fargo. If UND wasn't the host and got shipped to Providence, there wouldn't be 500 people in Fargo. Quote

If UND wasn't the host and got shipped to Providence, there wouldn't be 500 people in Fargo. there would be a hell of a lot more than 500. If UND wasn't there then Minnesota more than likely would. Let's just see how they handle it this weekend. If it's run smoothly and no issues with the ice or anything else then maybe they would. More power to them. God knows that place needs the business.

.357 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 I thought it would be appropriate at this time of the year to bring up Scotty Bowman, the winningest coach in NHL history, hockey's version of Mr. October, with some of his quotes; with the first two being completely irrelevant, but funny: “I love Barry Manilow.” “When I was in a record store with Sean Avery helping him look for CDs, I pulled out 'Tapestry.' He was like, 'Who is Carole King?' Can you imagine?” “Hockey is its own game. It's completely different than all other games, although it's getting way too close to soccer.” And my favorite: “I found out that if you are going to win games, you had better be ready to adapt.” 2 Quote

Oxbow6 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Coming to you live outside Scheels Arena. Its 4:30 am and I'm #70 in line. You should have texted me....I was up. I had to drop off my daughter for a 6 AM soccer practice. Could have brought you your favorite...a double shot decaffeinated, extra foam, soy milk, cinnamon dolce latte. #racetogether #epicfail #Ijustwantmycoffee 1 Quote
01grad Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Hopefully more people don't all of a sudden start showing up in line as would happen for the early bobblehead days at Twins games. They should have bracelets or something to be sure only those who are really there early enough get a ticket and late shows can't fill in with friends. Quote
Cratter Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Theres over 100... 150 tickets plus some championship game only. But who knows how many of those? Quote
Cratter Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Per WDAY - they are keeping a list of who has what spot in line. Nothing official. Trying to police ourselves I guess. Hence why I know where im at. Quote
Redneksioux Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 MN bid for marriuci as well Anyone know if und could also bid on the Midwest regional? It doesn't seem fair there is 2 regionals out east evey year but only one west of the Mississippi. Quote
ringneck28 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Coming to you live outside Scheels Arena. Its 4:30 am and I'm #70 in line. if my math is correct, then if every one of them buys the 2 ticket allotment only 5 more peeps will get tickets. Quote
Eggs412 Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Anyone with SRO tickets going to be in a suite? Would that fly? I have a group of friends in a suite but I have a SRO ticket Quote
