        Maybe this will be the place all the Michigan fans can complain about the autobids getting in and their team left out in the cold (again).

          Still wondering if anyone has insight into start times.

              Generally, the highest seed gets the early game so they get more rest.

                  The only 1/4 match-up to be a late game is North Dakota/Wisconsin. That was done because the first game of that regional was scheduled to be on ESPN3 only, and the second game was scheduled to be on ESPNU. They wanted North Dakota/Wisconsin on television, and Ferris State/Colgate online.

                    I just checked the ticketbastard site, for Friday, on the "choose your seats" map they are showing about 1,100 seats left to choose. It was posted in the East regional thread by a rep from Yale (the host), that early this week 3,500 hundred two day seats had already been sold with 400 seats allotted to each participating team. He also went on to state that the teams asked for more, but were not given the extra tickets. Hopefully be close to a sellout, Friday early game will most likely look bad due to no shows wanting only to see QPAC.

                      Cincy for the smallest crowd?

                        I believe the past three Frozen Fours have combined for 12 different schools. Over last four seasons, BC is only team to make the FF twice and obviously won it too.

                          seems like the midwest regional generally has been the worst in this regard. say over the past five years or so. that should continue.

                            The tickets for Cincy are pretty cheap aren't they? At least we'll get an idea of the effect of ticket prices. Of course we won't know what the crowds would have been like at higher prices, but it will be interesting to see nonetheless.

                              Colgate won't travel well to Cincy. We don't travel well in general. And it's about a 10 hour drive from campus. I'm guessing UND and Wisconsin will travel well but the early game should look pretty empty, because whatever Ferris State fans show up won't receive much help from Colgate fans.
