    Correct. The NCAA does not want regionals played on home ice. I believe the West Regional this year got 3 bids: (1) Scheels Arena in Fargo, (2) Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks, and (3) AMSoil Arena in Duluth. The NCAA went with the only site that wasn't on-campus, and Fargo got it.

    This differs from the Midwest Regional, as ONLY South Bend put a bid together for that regional. That's why it is on campus ice (although Notre Dame failed to make the tournament).

      Quinnipiac without Anas is still a fairly good team...but I still think they're way in over their heads. Garteig will probably have to stand on his head, although he didn't look spectacular in the ECAC playoffs really.

        A Sioux fan I know told me last night people are asking $400 a ticket for next weekend...

          Yes it is a real bummer not to have more capacity. Tech's first NCAA Tourney action in 34 years and might not be able to attend in person except by paying $400 or so...Not an option....Although if it were in Grand Forks it would likely be the same situation only with more Sioux fans!

            I think you'd be much better off if it was in Grand Forks. You'd still probably have close to the same percentage of UND fans but tickets would be relatively much more reasonably priced. Maybe $150. And Tech's allotment would also obviously be larger, so it would be much easier for you to get tickets through them. Look on the bright side, you can still get Red Pepper in Fargo!

              The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

                I would think 400 is chickenfeed for the high and mighty Michigan Tech fans

                  The old farts at Tech complained when parking went from $3 to $5 for games (IIRC, those were the prices). $400 for a ticket? lulz!

                    Garteig carried their *** in the quarterfinal against Union. Without his performance they probably get yes upset and are not in the tournament.

                      I love all of you complaining about your car rides to your teams regional. My team usually plays at a regional 4 hours away on an airplane with no direct flights there.

                        That's mostly easterners. If it's not in St Paul, 4 hours is less than what MN has to do.

                          **** right I'm gonna complain about a 15 hour drive. I should have had a 10 or 12 hour ride out East instead if just one outcome was different.

                          Shame on all those teams.

                                How healthy is everybody? SCSU's Prochno and Kossila missed this past weekend, and on Saturday Daly took a pretty bad hit. I don't know the status of any of the three of them for this weekend.
                                tUMD is Jan Brady per Brenthoven. Whew.... thanks for clearing THAT up.
