Frozen Four Bids! Vegas and Beyond!

Re: Frozen Four Bids! Vegas and Beyond!

No ones saying that they won’t look into it, there are just some very plausible reasons why it might not happen quite that way.

By the way, any stories out there about headwinds in trying to get airfare refunds? I have two Newark to Detroit round trips I can to cancel and United has changed its policy four times in the past week. Very confusing for the obvious reasons. Wondering if canceling the charge to my debit card would be the better option.

They are looking at the logistics of moving everything back one year for basketball. Dont see why they cant explore for hockey also.

Wow. I would have thought basketball would be even harder considering how big that event is. Well, like I said before, everything is negotiable.

Not going to happen. Those Frozen Four sites are locked in contractually.

Re: Frozen Four Bids! Vegas and Beyond!

Some cities bid for certain years because they have other events scheduled in other years so highly unlikely they change the bids already awarded. However Detroit put in bids for all 4 years of the next cycle so they almost certainly get the first year of that cycle. Considering they wanted another bid by putting in for all 4 they may even get the 4th year as well if they play along well with the NCAA through this process. For me I would not want to see that happen being near Boston but I can appreciate the fact that they well get it and may well deserve it for their patience.

Wouldn't surprise me either way.

That’s true. Everything is negotiable...

They have been awarded, but it's not too late to push them back a year as well if they decide to go back to the 2020 sites in 2021.

Re: Frozen Four Bids! Vegas and Beyond!

That's kind of tough considering all the regional sites for next year and the Frozen Four for the next two years have already been awarded. And they certainly aren't going to change that.

I would put it at 50/50 that all the venues who lost out on hosting with the cancellation this season will be offered the 2021 dates first.

In every city there are gems that hockey fans miss. St. Louis has one of the most beautiful botanical gardens anywhere that we found to be absolutely spectacular and one of the nicest attractions in any Frozen 4 city we've been to.

This next round of bids likely has just been shortened because you have to believe Detroit will be given one of the bids due to this years cancellation.

I’m sure If Detroit asks, they will get it.

also would say Milwaukee and St Paul are great host cities. At least there the casuals come out because they genuinely love hockey.

From the standpoint of having made too many business trips to STL, I have no choice but to agree with Carmine. And if you like your whisky mixed with ginger ale (not me) or just like ginger ale, there is none. Bartenders mix cola with 7-up and think it's ginger ale. (Blecch!!)

Also did business trip there. Not so great even on company tab. However we did do some substantial business there. Tech folks were very intelligent.
