Sioux Falls Regional - UND / Prov / QU / Merrimack

[Wildfan]

After seeing even more complaining about how East Coast teams had to travel to SF and attendance would've been much better out East I came across the 2023 Bridgeport Regional where Quinnipiac played against Merrimack. Qunnipiac is 25 miles from Bridgeport, and Merrimack is 166 miles. So 30 min and 2.5 hour drive and their attendance for that game was 4,462. Well actually that same attendance number was used for both first round games with the other being Ohio State vs Harvard. So add in Harvard at 149 miles and they drew less for attendance then Sioux Falls did only 1 team considered drive-able distance at 319 miles and over 4 hours.

Are there busses running from gf or fargo down to Sioux Falls?  If not, perhaps und or the champions club ahould.  Could be a perk for membership.  And non members can go with a fee.  Could also be a discoumt or a perk to attract new members.
