Re: Beanpot LXVIII: Threepeat?
In general I think it would be great for the sport if they could combine some of the men's and women's tournament together.
Especially Frozen Fours in cities like Boston/MSP where you don't need to host in the same rink. Boston could use Garden/Egganus but share the fan fair downtown. MSP could use Xcel/Mariucci. Sure sharing a championship night in the big rink is great and OT spillover is no different than a semis night... but not sure how the TV people would feel about their men's title game being handed a setback though. Especially the national title game. Unless you really provided a large space between games like the old FF semis on separate tickets (they keep waffling on this last I heard as my FF attendance has waned).
