Re: Future D-III Championship sites
No No far from. If I make a personal dig, you will know it. I was simply stating that living in Colorado (is that better?) you're far from the DIII landscape, so making a last minute (literal) decision to attend a final four is most likely not as big of a deal than say someone who lives 30 - 45 minutes from the site. And if there is/isn't tickets available isn't a big deal since going isn't like going to the local pub for a drink. Mind you, living that far away, making plans to attend a Final Four takes a little more planning so purchasing a ticket in advance (or having the opportunity to) makes it easier. If SNC was playing at Hobart for the National Championship game, good luck. Nor will some of the family members of SNC be able to do so.
And you can spare me the "I was a player, you're a fan, you know nothing" speech...because if players knew all you would think you would know how ticketing goes. I could really care less who you are. And playing in front of 700 fans in a 500 seat arena doesn't mean it's a better atmosphere. It doesn't mean it isn't either. I've been to the Aud and seen nearly 4,000 fans talking about everything but hockey. I've been to Romney where it was just under 1500 and it was crazy. I've been to the Duke where you had beer bottles tossed at you, and then you went to Chip and it was dead. I've been in 500 seat packed arenas and it's just blah. Hostile environments are great, for sure. But making it sound like you're playing 90% of your games in full barns all season, so playing the Championship game in a 1/2 empty barn (due more to the teams involved) is against the norm is ridiculous.

I think 3k is the perfect size (IMO), but as I've said having a few "extra" seats for those who want to attend, can, is better than shutting out family members. It will be interesting to see what (if) rules the NCAA puts out for hosting and then how many programs magically come up with more seats at their rink #fakenews. 
LP is fairly remote from anything.
