    Re: Lake Placid Attendance

    I will say that when we played at the Ronnie B in 87 for the championship in front of a HUGE sold out crowd it was AWESOME,no matter the outcome it made the experience much better than I would imagine playing IFO seats.

      You're comparing apples to oranges. That's when the Stafford could/would hold 3,500 - 4,000 people.....about half of those people would get shut out of a ticket if it was held at the Stafford today...

        Well, I will be in Section 7 tonight. My son and I will be sporting Patrice Begeron jerseys. I want to see a good, competitive hockey game, but I think I'd enjoy watching Salve Regina win their first national championship of any kind.

          Next year’s site is supposed to be at one of the four participating teams. Obviously, nobody knows that until the four teams win their quarterfinal games.

          Ergo, nobody can submit a bid until then...

            Re: Lake Placid Attendance

            I kinda feel bad to see all of this poor attendance talk for Lake Placid for the NCAA Division III tournament championship weekend. Almost bad enough to want to drive down (with no affiliation or even the slightest bit of clue about either team) and watch the championship game tonight just to put a couple more bodies in the seats. I am in Plattsburgh and only about 45-50 minutes away. So, there could be worse decisions I suppose.

            Last weekend the ECAC tournament had its largest turnout since the tournament moved back to Lake Placid 4 years ago. There was around 5,500 for the semifinals and around 6,000 for the championship game. Granted that Clarkson, a local team that always travels well was there this year, but in years past even when a local didn't make it they would still get between 4,000-5,000 regularly.

            Yes I get that Lake Placid is "off the beaten path" so to speak, but I feel like people greatly exaggerate it. I mean, people make it seems like you have to drive through a beat up bumpy old one lane cow-path dirt road just to get in there. That is fair from the case even if there is not a major four lane highway connecting in to Lake Placid. It's not that difficult of a drive, especially if you know where you are going. There are stretches in the winter that can be bad, but to be fair, it's bad just about everywhere in the winter around here. I get it though, I do have the luxury of being from around here and understanding the area better, but I guess as a local it's still a bummer to see such a low drop in attendance when a non-local team doesn't make it for this tournament. Lake Placid is a fun place to be. It's even better when there are 3 good games to watch in a weekend.

                  Could you explain the submitting a bid process? What is the deadline the schools must meet to submitt a bid? Thanks

                    Were single-game tickets sold, or only day passes?

                      For hosting the women’s final four this year Norwich put together a bid that was due in late February. You had to approximate expenses, budget, tickets sold etc and then the NCAA either accepts or declines your bid based on what you put into it. The team that was the highest ranked remaining team with an “appropriate bid” was awarded hosting rights.

                        Day passes. I would imagine that number is tickets sold/scanned for the whole day for both games. But that is my guess. Both games listed the same attendance number IIRC.

                            College hockey stats lists same number.

                              I realize that,jusy say'in...Campus Center in Oswego can handle 3000,maybe a few other rinks can match that?? We are not going to get 10k at the games bottom line.

                                I'm assuming you get a raise or bonus for each hosted championship?
