    Heck, I've made the drive from Manhattan to Portland, Maine, in one day. I've also driven from Manhattan to Grand Forks in one day.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

      Springfield is definitely west. Ask anybody who lives east of Needham.

        You obviously didn't know that Grand Forks was the inspiration for The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of.

          Why would Penn State be considered host in an arena almost three hours away from Penn State? And why wouldn't they be hosting at an arena like Pegula Ice Arena?

            because some schools or conference needs to be host and if possible bids should be from off campus facilities, if on campus was allowed, PSU wouldn't be the only one.

              The proximity of the host to the venue is irrelevant. Alaska-Anchorage hosted the 1999 FF in Anaheim; Alabama-Huntsville and Wisconsin (separately) hosted the two FFs held in Tampa

                Generally though regionals are relatively close to the host but 4 hours in the west/Midwest isn't unusual for distance from host to regional.

                      Do we even know if certain bids were denied? Under the current 4 neutral site regional system, i don't see why anyone cares that Pennsylvania is the "midwest" regional. It's just a name, semantics. If you want a new system like campus games, fine. But if we don't know who bid then I don't know how you can complain. Is there a "western" bid that was laughed at by the committee?

                        We should ask the Futile Four committee.

                          the point is that the system is broken if no one in the west/Midwest is except for UND and PSU.

                            the big10 is a midwest conference. psu is in the big10. ergo they host a midwest regional.

                                Traditional west/midwest bids would be somewhere in Minnesota and Michigan. Are venues in those states putting in bids? Is there something scaring off potential bidders?
