      People that don't like it being in St. Paul can never offer a credible alternative or how that alternative would work as well or better than the current arrangement. The simple fact of the matter is no other city can top it - much less match it - in terms of location and guaranteed money/attendance.

        I think it offers unfair advantages to closer teams. The tournament should be permanently moved to Bratislava, Slovakia.

          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Cool, I could make it then! But actually Budapest would have more stuff to do around the arena.

              Why do people care so much where it is located? You have 7 schools that travel well to St. Paul. I am sure most of the Bucky fans that come live here, but they still show up. If you move to other places you won't fill the building and then the schools won't make the money they all love. I have kids and I can tell you I wouldn't go if it was some place else, but do go every year even when my team doesn't make it. When it was in Wisconsin and the Badgers didn't make it nobody showed up.

              Also, for all the people who complain about what a great advantage the Gophers have, it would be a even bigger advantage for them and Sconnie if it wasn't there. You know why? because they need the FF money far less than the other small programs do. The only legit complaint people have it is the Gophers always getting the night game. I think Gopher fans would fill the building even if they palyed an afternoon game.

                    People who don't like it in St. Paul have, a) never been to it in St. Paul, and b) are suffering from some misguided notion that Minnesota has been afforded an advantage by having it played in St. Paul.

                    They don't realize that even though it's been played in St. Paul 17 times and Minneapolis twice, Minnesota has only managed to win the title 4 times there. Furthermore, they are 4-7 in the championship game, not exactly a stellar home ice advantage. Finally, the championship has been played elsewhere (Milwaukee) three times. Once Minnesota wasn't even in the tournament. The other two times they won it.
                    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                      I thought it was twice (though I can't be sure until tonight when I can look at my pin collection) What are the 3 years? I know 1994. I think 1992 (again, have to look at my pins).

                        '98, I believe.

                          Maybe 94, 96, and 98 then. I'll look tonight.

                            That is correct.

                              Maybe we should move it back to Milwaukee then.

                                Just shows how pathetic the Gophers are. They can't even capitalize on having the home ice advantage.
