  • Presidents Council says NO to DI/DIII combo weekend

    Looks like this might not be happening after all.

    Re: Presidents Council says NO to DI/DIII combo weekend

    Great news, especially for a Plattsburgh fan who couldn't be happier about the current arrangement. So I guess it buys us another year, at the least. Unfortunately, it does look like the committee might be swayed by tightening up the schedule to DIII-length. Here's hoping that any such attempt will end in a horrible trainwreck

          If needs be. Would there be any particular problem securing the Aud? That would seem like a pretty good stopgap, and it could only be necessary for one season. Also, looks like there are some happy coaches out there:

            It could go West again to Ridder, which was a perfect venue for the games. If they DO go to one game / week (eliminate the Wednesday) for the 1st two rounds, then Lake Placid comes back into play.

            In any event, if they go back to Ridder, they have to go to the extra week as there will be a D-I conference championship in town the normal week of the semis/final.

                Given SNC's performance the past few finals, a Wisconsin site might be appropriate - Milwakee??? Otherwise, there is a very nice rink in Bridgeport, CT that has hosted D1 Regionals...Manhattanville could step up to host - or the CT College Camels? BROOKLYN??? (Jay-Z can skate, can't he?)

                        I've asked the question of those that run the Resch Center in Green Bay (home of USHL Gamblers). And, without any sport of guarantee that SNC makes it, they just aren't willing to risk it financially. Attendance at the D1 regionals without Wisconsin has been been poor to below average, depending on your view of these things.

                        And while the Brown County Arena makes more sense in some ways (4500 seats, not 9000), the building just isn't up to hosting this sort of event. The Gamblers will play two games there this weekend because high school state volleyball is in the Resch - but that's like using your rec room instead of living room. It's fine for close friends, but nothing you'd want to use to entertain guests from out of town.

                        Elsewhere in the state, the only facility I think that would make any sort of sense is the new LaBahn Arena at Wisconsin - the Badgers' answer to Ridder. Not a bad location in an appropriate sized facility.

                        And, YEAH to no combined championships!

                          I've been saying this for over a year now.

                          Agree.

                            Put it in either Minneapolis or Boston. Major airport hubs, not an excruciating drive for the region's fans, stuff to do at night. Boom.
