tnt Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 Poor Minnesota fans think that UND wouldn't let Penn State have any tickets, that is why it will be 99 percent UND fans in Nashville. Seems to me there were 4000 or so seats when they went on sale to the general public. Of course it has to be embarrassing for them that they had an opportunity to squeeze UND fans out of Mariucci. How did that end up working out? Get 4000 fans in your home arena, then complain about UND fans squeezing out the competition at a neutral site. Quote

I heard him reference something about UND traveling and all living in the Twin Cities area, but the way I heard it he was more trying to throw a dig at us because they understand we have fans who get upset when people say the reason we have great attendance in the Twin Cities and Denver is due to all of our alumni in the area. Motzko and others acknowledge that UND fans are going to show up and that they travel well. Quote

Maybe the Suns too.18 holes every morning......take in some sports event in the evening. No sports event that day......36. Quote

Expand I very much agree with it being a good vacation spot during the season, but with a D1 team in town it just doesn't make sense to have a "destination" game there. By the time it's scheduled, ASU *should* be breaking ground on their arena, and we could just schedule a home-and-home series with them. Same reason Boston, Denver and St. Paul aren't going to (or at least shouldn't) be destinations. If all else fails, Vegas would work a second time, with T-Mobile the host instead. I think Seattle is being considered because it covers a different region of the country. That's also why Tampa/Miami should be considered; Nashville and Florida are geographically and culturally different enough that it feels unique. My vote is Miami, if only because I've learned to never try to recreate the magic. 1 Quote
