Attendance was listed as about 8700…that would be close to half of the X. The lower bowl and club level looked about 1/3 full. Upper deck was closed. I’d be surprised if they sell out in St Louis but hope they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxFanSince1990 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 It is beyond stupid that those four teams will play in a sub 3,000 seat arena. College hockey is a laughing joke at this point. Embarrassing stuff from the ncaa. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted March 25 Author Share Posted March 25 27 minutes ago, sioux rube said: I thought it was already sold out If I remember correctly, each school is allotted 250 or 500 tickets. UND will sell their through the Champions Club. I would guess the other 3 schools will probably not sell their complete allotment and either turn their tickets back in or if they have good relations with the other teams can give(sell) them to another school. The tickets not in this allotment look to have already been sold but I would check the site again this week because if the tickets are turned back in by the schools they will be available to purchase. I would also check with the other 3 schools and see how they are selling their tickets....especially if the demand is not there for them to sell through them. You may be able to purchase them directly from those schools....I have done this in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucci also said that Denver won the conference championship. Poor choice of words. They won the tournament championship, and not the conference. I’m a little salty over it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin G Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I like Bucci’s enthusiasm for college hockey. But I wish they’d keep him in the studio and away from play-by-play duties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 We'll see how the attendance at the regionals does now with the brackets filled, but this was a year with lots of potential for the current system, only to be thwarted lower seeded host teams sending higher seed (including 2 #1 seeds) to the other side of the country. Denver (which really had no natural regional, but...) to Springfield, Mass., while Boston U (less than 100 miles from Springfield) to Sioux Falls, SD. Meanwhile, Iowa women (with the most famous BB player in the country right now) got to play an opening round NCAA game at home on Saturday, which they won, and will host another one tonight.

I'll be a little slow on score updates because I'm taking the kids on a spring break trip, but will bring my laptop and try to update at least once a day!

Big Green Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I wish UND would bid to host at the Ralph every year. Stop the biding to host at Scheels and in Sioux Falls. Feeling like they are letting the NCAA off the hook, by bidding for neutral sites. UND and only a few others are the only ones place bids. If no one placed neutral site bids they would have to allow hosting at home arenas. Besides we have not had much luck when hosting in Sioux falls or Scheels.

Kab Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 You would,think schools would figure out bidding and get only one bid per year for the west Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in this scenario, are you saying a group of western schools (maybe 4 or so) just take turns bidding their own arena and no one puts in a competing bid?

That would be my thought or let the schools put in bids that are in their home rink so all bids are home school bids 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
