SCSU fans will nit fill the X. Not even close. I would think they would rather have one good regional attendance than none between St. Paul and Cincinnati.

UND played in the Midwest Regional in Cincinnati in the 2013-2014 season. Attendance was pretty bad from what I remember. College Hockey Stats lists the attendance as 5,320(UND vs. Wisconsin) and 5,721(UND vs. Ferris State). UND would get a lot more people to attend by playing in St. Paul.

I don't think they would move a team that is a higher seed and geographically closer to St. Paul to Cincinatti. And for as long as I have been looking at the bracketology articles, I don't think they have ever moved a team that was in the top band.

I am not saying they will, I am just saying I fear they might. Its an unusual situation that SCSU is much closer to the X than UND but UND would get way more fans there

Same here.
UND will travel better no matter where they are put so the higher team will likely get STP.

Re: SCSU 2015-2016 Season: This Year Is Our Year
I think this is a question every hockey fan asks of their team X times per season. Whether it be a h.s. team I follow, the Gophers, the Wild hell we've even seen it in the Olympics. It's maddening and frustrating especially when it would seem "the moment" alone should be enough to prevent anyone from taking the situation lightly. Physical mistakes happen, pipes are hit, an accidental trip, a seeing eye puck finds the impossible gap, etc. Sometimes you just get beat. But why there can be games where seemingly an entire team has taken the night off is confounding. Perhaps that's where coaches earn their paycheck - finding ways to see it before it happens and leading them away of the funk. And no that's not a comment on Motzko - we have our **** problems.

I agree. The higher of the two seams in the pairwise will be placed in St Paul. Obviously both teams will have a better turnout by playing in St Paul than playing in Cincy. I think there's a good chance that St Cloud finishes higher in the pairwise but its looking more increasingly like UND will win the conference title. The fact that St Cloud lost to 23 ranked Miami and still stayed at #2 says that their ranking is pretty strong. I also think there's a good chance either Minnesota or Mankato end up in St Paul if they make the tournament (if MN gets in they HAVE to play there).

I'm hoping they go with putting the higher seed in St. Paul and I can't recall a time they moved the higher seed further away from home. But they can. It's entirely possible UND will be the higher seed if these two end up meeting in the Frozen Faceoff and UND wins. Not saying that will happen but clearly both have good teams, could definitely happen.
If SCSU ends up at the X and the Gophers get in (I still think they'll win their AQ) we're probably looking at 6-7,000 per session (tickets sold). If it is Mankato instead, probably 4,000. UND going to Cinci is probably close to 6,000. So call it a total of 12-13,000 between the two on the high side.
UND to the X facing the Gophers and you're probably in the 10-12,000 range. Mankato instead, 8-9,000. Ship SCSU to Cinci and I think we're looking at 3,000 max. So looking at 13-15,000 total between the two regions.
That's pretty close between the two. Again, I'd hope they just keep the higher seed closer to home.

If the over/under is 6,000 per day in Cincinnati with UND there, I'll take the under.

Re: SCSU 2015-2016 Season: This Year Is Our Year
One last random (home) attendance thought. I hadn't attended a SCSU home game in years (live in Duluth, have been to many Husky games in Duluth, plus some Final Five, North Star Cup games), but finally went again in Nov. 2014 vs. UMD, and have been to games against Arizona State and Western Michigan this season. It seems pretty obvious to me that while "official" attendance has dropped considerably, actual attendance hasn't dropped much at all. The announced attendance for those 3 games were all between 4200-4600 and it looked like that was relatively close to how many people were actually there. Those types of crowds would have been announced as 5500-6000 ten years ago. At the very least, they're not counting 1500 students even if there is zero. They're still not selling every last ticket for North Dakota and Minnesota game (and not selling over 7000 like they used to), but run-of-the-mill games are about what they have always been.
As for regional attendance, I would take the under if the over/under was 6000 with North Dakota there too. Yes, they'd bring a lot more than SCSU, but 2000 is a lot more than 500, and a lot less than 6000.

There are fewer seats available in the NHC now that it's been remodeled and re-branded the HBNHC. Adding seatbacks and limiting the SRO so it's no longer three-deep in certain sections of the building all cut in to that total.

Re: SCSU 2015-2016 Season: This Year Is Our Year
I realize that, but I know that they didn't sell all available tickets anyway to the last North Dakota series. I think they came close on Saturday.
I also hope they can at least finish renovating the concourses and bathrooms at some point. When the plan was announced, I was most looking forward to the upgrades to the seating bowl, but now that the first half is finished and phase 2 on indefinite hold, I've changed my tune a little. The entrance is great. The upgraded south concourse, bathrooms, and concessions are great. The new paint job, murals and banners in the seating bowl look nice. However, as you walk around the rink you can pretty much say here is where they ran out of money. If they could refurbish the rest of the concourse it would at least feel finished, even though not all proposals were completed.

Actually your wrong SCSU, UND and QU are tied for #1 in pairwise. They are #1 in RPI though

And DU winning flipped the QU/UND comp back to QU, so it's back to how it was.
