Well tickets went on sale today and it's general admission seating and isn't that rather odd?
I was in an ICU during the last FF there so was it general admission then as well?

The last time, 2022, the internet says the crowds were 1600 for the semis and 2000 for the final. In a building that holds 6000. So the only way GA may become a problem is if Penn State makes the final four (which is a decent possibility.)

If UW makes it into it FF, too far of a drive for me. Plus after the St. Louis debacle, I doubt I'll ever go to another. Never say never, but if they lose I just can't go into the garage or basement and putz around while my frustrations and sadness burn off.

It was assigned seating in 2022 so I was very surprised it was general admission for 2026. As noted, attendance was not great in 2022 (and they had one side of the arena roped off as they do for PSU women's games) but I am hoping for better attendance in 2026.

If you truly want to experience the sport, then you have to do it. I know that you've historically enjoyed the games where the red menace beats the crap out of Little Sisters of the Poor or whatever confection MJ has decided to offer up to the fan base as "competition". And I understand the feeling of watching your team play like utter garbage in a semi on a Friday night in Boston when your flight home isn't until Monday (although I think driving home from Duluth after even a regular-season loss was worse). Even with all that, the feeling of watching your team win a title is worth the risk that you'll suffer through a nightmare instead.

For the good of the sport, let's hope PSU makes it. Who was the most-recent program to make its first FF? I think it was Northeastern, but I haven't been invested enough in the 2020s to say for sure.

IDK....It's in Duluth in 2027. Maybe UW won't even make it to that one with this dominant Sr. class departing.

I don't think I want PSU to make it. I'm not a fan of frozen 4 teams getting a home ice advantage.
 
I'm all for home team's making it - What an awesome story hosting team winning it all in front of their fans! Wisco Men '06 for example.
