    I don't care to look it up, but didn't Placid draw around 3K in the past few years?

        IIRC, The first time the FF was in Lake Placid, St Norbert, Elmira, Plattsburgh and Norwich, it was widely reported that the crowd both days was the largest ever recorded for D-III hockey games. Pretty sure the record still stands. And Lake Placid is difinitely NOT an especially easy place to get to, particularly durIng late winter.

          I travel from Plattsburgh to Lake Placid on average of twice a week. Not a hard or long trip. About 50 minutes, maybe an hour 15 minutes in bad weather. In turn Plattsburgh is only 40 minutes from Burlington, Vt...... even with the ferry time. So we are looking less than two hours from BTV. That does not seem like a hard trip to me.

            Being 50-75 minutes from Plattsburgh -in a National sense- is kinda like saying "an easy day's drive from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan". LP is fairly remote from anything.

            I suspect that more-or-less the same number of hardcore fans will attend the D-3 FF no matter where it's played in the East. This year's teams just represented small fan-bases. Utica would have drawn better had there been an Oswego, a Platty, or a fairly local team there.

            Placid is probably as good a choice as any, though, all things considered. Some people might go just on the basis of name-recognition alone.

              2020 - Harbor Center Buffalo.
              2022 - Lake Placid

              No mention of odd years other than non predetermined. Guess campus sites?

                Curious what the hosting regulations are going to be for the non-predetermined sites...I would have to imagine 1500-2000 seats would be a BARE minimum, probably more like 2500-3000. That's going to eliminate all but what, maybe 1/4th of the rinks in the country, if that?

                  We've all gone on the assumption that 2019 was going to be in the West. So, my first thought was they haven't figured out who yet.

                  But not announcing 2021 does lend credence to the rumor they were going to use on-campus sites every other year.

                    The last time I looked the minimum was 3,000 which makes the Harbor Center at "1,800+" a head scratcher....why SUNYAC would support Buff State in a rink that's 1,000 shy of the minimum is nuts...unless the minimum was reduced in the smoke filled room....

                      The SUNYAC and Buffalo State put in a bid. The NCAA accepted it. The NCAA are the ones who "supported" it.

                      I also wonder how much the HarborCenter is behind this bid. Pagula has made it no secret he wants to bring in as many hockey events as possible to make Buffalo the center of hockey in America.

                      He was instrumental in getting the WJC to return to Buffalo thanks to offering up the Bills' stadium for the outdoor game. A couple of years ago the HarborCenter hosted the World U18 Women's championship. They have hosted World Sled Hockey championships. So, who knows what the HarborCenter offered up to the NCAA to get this championship?

                        Underwriting the cost is peanuts to him...if that's the case then D III is taking on the worst of DI personality by selling their venues to the highest bidder.....it will be interesting to see what the story is there and if they have scrubbed the rink capacity minimum for a cash guarantee minimum...

                                Well, 15 DIII rinks are listed at 2500 or more, if you dip down to 2000 you get another 6 or 7.
