    Re: 2020 Regional sites - any predictions?

    I thought they did away with teams hosting in their own rink? What would make Wisconsin/Kohl Center different?

      Which is a shame, since the selection committee doesn’t feel the same way.
      Maybe. BUt I think you would need to see the bid matrix to get a total package value. If the value Madison was offering was garbage, yeah they probably wouldn't be picked. If Loveland offered 100% of gate and 90% of concessions, kinda hard to beat that.

        That also means there are only FIVE west schools within 500 miles of a regional site:

        Allentown - 164 to Penn State, 448 to Ohio State (next closest 510 to BGSU)
        Loveland - 40 to Denver, 120 to Colorado College & Air Force Academy (next closest 530 to Omaha)

        Another big F U to the west. What a joke.
        OK then who bid and got denied? You're only accounting for one of the years. The year after has both Loveland and Fargo. So that's a big change.

          Nothing, as it turns out, since they rejected the bid.

          But, what would make it different is the fact that a Madison regional is highly likely to have waaaaaaaay more people show up.

            Nothing. Notre Dame hosted at their own rink not terribly long ago. It's an arbitrary rule that can be arbitrarily enforced.

              I guess what I was asking is I didn't even know they were taking bids from on campus facilities like the Kohl Center. If Wisconsin/KC submitted a bid that makes it seem like you can still in fact host a regional on campus.

                2021 ups it to ELEVEN schools within 500 miles.

                Same 3 in Loveland
                Fargo - 80 miles to NoDak, 129 to Bemidji, 172 to St. Cloud, 235 to Minneapolis, 239 to Duluth, 274 to Mankato, 424 to Omaha, 455 to Michigan Tech (next closest is 503 to Madison)

                Two of those are still at least a 7 hour drive. Yeah, that's soooo much better.

                  And in 2020, there is ONE eastern school that isn't within 500 miles of THREE regional sites:

                  Orono to Allentown is 546 miles, so Maine is the only one.

                  If attendance is bad, the blame is squarely on the east. Period.

                    Isn't that sort of the point? The schools in the West are too far apart for many of them to be within "driving distance" (depending upon what your definition of that is), so the assumption is made that fans of those schools will have to fly anyway. If that's the case, they are going to put the event in a larger metropolitan area to ensure a large attendance. The East is more congested. I'm sure you people out there brag about how you have so much "open space" and "quality of life." Well, you can't have it both ways.

                      Attendance in the east hasn't been a problem.

                        I am curious how Allentown would do if it was the host for the East regional. They’ve done well as it is.

                          I don't think the NCAA is interested in biting the hand that feeds them.

                            I don’t expect that they would. There’s really no reason for them to change up much of what they’ve done for the East/NE regionals.

                            I’m still curious, though.

                              You guys can't have it both ways. There will be two western regionals in 2021 rather than three in the Eastern time zone. You might not like it but without dissecting which true midwest bids got denied, it is what it is.

                                The problem is most of us "out here" don't consider the west or midwest to be located 80 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
                                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.
