Regionals attendance

Re: Regionals attendance

Stop having regionals in cities like Toledo, St. Louis, and Grand Rapids.

Rotate in the west between Denver, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and Fargo.

Rotate in the midwest between Green Bay, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Detroit.

No live TV unless the regional is sold out, if you want to watch it live, go to the arena.

Maybe when UNO gets their new arena they can host at the Century Link Center.

Or, have east and west divisions with Atlantic Hockey, ECAC, and Hockey East in the east. The WCHA, NCHC, and BigTen in the west with each team getting one autobid and the remaining remaining spots will be decided by the pairwise rankings in their division. Then you'd have only an east and west regional with the final four or two teams going to the championship where east meets west.

Why Minneapolis? Xcel is far better than the Target Center. St. Paul. Grand Folks, and Denver could be used for the west. I agree with Midwest cities and not using cities wherre there no schools near by.
Live TV should happen not everybody has the money to travel and buy tickets plus food hotel. Remember NCAA is about college so college students do not have all this money sitting around to spend. Make the games cheaper to buy. Cut the ticket prices in half.

NCHC can host at Target Center with SCSU or UMD being the host school since they're already working together on the conference tournament.

I like watching the games live too and ticket prices have been pretty high. Black it out if you don't have enough seats sold, the NFL way.

NCAA is not NFL. So it not really option and plus NCAA wants to grow college hockey where as NFL is so popular that blackouts are not problem.
I can why NCHC would try to host it but they should focus on North Dakota and Denver/CC as host for regionals.

A $220 value single seat for all sessions on the glass in the corner behind the net just went for $112.50 on Ebay.
