    Actually just the opposite. We don't want our name attached to the B1G mistake and any chance to rip anything Wisconsin must be taken. Especially when it involves Alvarez.


    I'm glad I finally found this thread. I was on Twitter all morning searching for this info and couldn't find it anywhere.

      Pesonally I'd prefer a permanent site and just leave it like that. There was talk about a rotation between the Twin Cities, Denver, and Omaha. Hey I like Denver and Omaha but it is so nice to have it at the same place every year so you can plan accordingly.
      Omaha would be a good choice. The Gopher fans that went there this year said it was awesome and they're sad that it will be going away soon.

          WOW Great, they have wooden lockers. A large snack area. In the off season when they do have ice they do not use white paint so you get to see the cement. And if you're in the upper level you can play with the kids toys.

            I hope not

              At least the league would have a chance at matching the attendance percentage records that the Final Five has set.

                Whereas the nWCHA has no chance of coming close to matching it even if they played on an outdoor pond with some bleachers set up.

                  Big Ten hockey causes all of this mess of conference realignment and goes and uses the CCHA and WCHA tournament venues for the next 4 years. Interesting.
                  And will use the Final Five format..but won't be as successful.

I am hoping that there is only one game on Thursday and a third place game on Saturday. (Like the 5 games at the WCHA Final 5 a few years back) Go Bucky!

                      No, I said I'd like it at the X in the off years of the Big W0, I never want it at the Target Center. In the other years gice it to Denver, Omaha or both with them each getting it one out of four years and the X half the time

                        My only question is what will they do after this 4 year "trial" period is over? Do they have any firm ideas at this point or will be waiting to see what attendance and fan response will be before deciding future venues?
                        Logic would dictate the latter but I don't have much belief those runing the Big Ten have even half a brain between them to even consider logic to be possible for them.

                          I think they will see if one of the two sites significantly out-draws the other. If one does, they will probably stick with that one site. If it's remotely close, they'll continue to rotate.

                            What will happen is the UND, SCSU and UMD fans will have better attendance at the X than the Gophers and Badgers fans and Xcel will send the B1G packing to Detroit.

Many of us have a tattoo waiting in the wings, WHEN (not IF) the Gophers are champions again.

                                People around here were rejoicing that the big bad big ten schools were absent in tournaments past. Spout your revisionist history elsewhere.
