Popular Post The Sicatoka Posted May 5, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2016 So the 2017 Frozen Four is in Chicago at United Center. Let me think ... who (NHL) plays there? The Chicago Blackhawks. I've been to the UC and, gee, the Blackhawk's logo is plastered all over the place, and, yet, the NCAA will play their premiere hockey finale in that arena with that logo plastered all over everywhere (ala the REA). I thought that genre of logo was "hostile and abusive" (Native related) and the NCAA would not use such a venue for one of their events. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicofelipe Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I suspect the logo will be treated like the Beer Ads were in Cincinatti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Baker Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Good point. We should all bust out our 1980s Sioux jerseys, and the arena will really have a home crowd atmosphere for the Fighting Blackhawks/Hawks/Sioux during the frozen four!

KoolGuy2K Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 If the United Center paid the NC$$ enough money, it's OK. And the non-racist logo Notre Dame is hosting too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote UND is likely to submit a bid this summer to host a future NCAA Frozen Four in St. Louis, multiple sources have confirmed to the Herald. The bidding process to host Frozen Fours and NCAA regionals for the years 2019-22 will open Monday. I'd rather see UND host in Phoenix, but that's just me. Either way, hopefully we are able to secure the bid and make some $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 St. Louis? Really? Why not MSP? Oh, yeah, ... those guys. Why not CHI? Oh, yeah, ... that logo that UND can't be associated with (but the B1G apparently as the 2017 hosts can)*. Why not WPG? Oh, yeah, ... that's Canada which rhymes with anathema to the NCAA. Why not DEN? Nevermind ... If ARI got their "stuff" together on a new arena, but that is now ASU turf (sand?) I guess. STL it is. *The Herald says 2017 CHI is hosted by "Our Lady of South Bend". I thought the B1G was hosting there. < shrug > Having the Fighting < five letter name of a race of people > host there might be even worse.

Siouxperfan7 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Schloss put out his list of sites he wants the Frozen Four at. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103256 He mentioned the Barclays Center. Yeah, not a verry good choice unless you like views like these...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Bridgestone (with Broadway Street right there) is a lot of fun. No further comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadR Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Does anyone else find the St Louis choice odd? I was at the 2007 Frozen Four and thought that arena was a dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the immediate vicinity of the arena is really cool (lots of restaurants, bars, shops, etc.), it's nowhere near anything else. Most of the fun things to do in the Phoenix metro area are in Scottsdale and Tempe - on the opposite side of the valley. I hear that there is a sweet bicycle shop right down the I-10 from that arena.

Sioux>Bison Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Why don't they host one in Orlando? That would be the best family destination. If they hosted one in San jose that would also be very fin for the family as the Bay Area rocks and is not too far away. i don't know why Vegas wouldn't be at the top of the list. Great entertainment and cheap flights! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great entertainment and cheap flights! Orlando would be excellent, as every airline flies there. The Amway Center is nice, and the Solar Bears play there so it always has ice set up during hockey season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thUNDer Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Stayed at the Talbot in Chi Town recently. Nice location, good value (internet deal), great boutique hotel and staff. Close walk to Ditka's, Water Tower Place and Hancock. Cabbed to other sites we wanted to see. Love Chicago, can't wait to go back next year. Overall FF experience and would we go again..... St Louis- no, Philly- no, Denver- maybe, Milwaukee- maybe, St Paul- yes, Tampa- YES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hky Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Lots of cool things to see/do in Chicago. Too bad arena isn't located in a better area. Overall FF experience and thoughts on returning...St. Louis-maybe. Milwaukee-no. Denver-yes. Philly-no. St. Paul-yes. Boston-yes. Tampa-Double YES! But...who am I kidding? I'd go most anywhere for a FF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just shows you the hypocrisy of the NCAA, it's pure BS and all about public posturing--in the end though when it matter it comes down to money.
