Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised to see Manchester sell out then with it being Lowell and UNH tomorrow...Jordan Kawaguchi for Hobey!!

Re: Attendance at Regionals
10k in Prov might be a stretch but 8k isnt imo. BC, Q and U are pretty close. BC's good for 3k and Q&U should be good for 2k each.
Prices are too high. I'm not a casual fan but I wouldn't drop the $320 to get me and my kids two day passes. Manchester's AHL team charges $13 for kids and $18-$30 for adults depending on seats. I'm quite sure they advertised the Regional during those games and had some of those fans interested until they found out the price.

Re: Attendance at Regionals
Don't think bc is on spring break but don't expect many students there during easter weekend.
Chickod even the game at the garden was unique in that it had the potential to be parker's last game...more bu fans than usual.
I just don't expect to see the bc following I've seen at other regionals. I'll be optimistic and say 5,000 tomorrow.

Originally posted by Jesus of Suburbia View PostI do not know why the games were so early. Minnesota/Yale game should started at 5:00 ET and North Dakota/ Niagara should started at 9:30 ET.
The low attendance is obviously because neither Michigan nor Western made it. The schools that did make it are all to far away to get large numbers out to the venue.

Originally posted by billmich88888 View PostFrozen 4's at joe Louis were well attended
Last one was way back in 1990
Lots of Wisconsin fans there
But the Frozen Four is the Frozen Four. It has its hardcore regulars who will go wherever it is. You could hold it in Pyongyang and it would sell out.
I think that everyone agrees that the current regional system is broken, except the NCAA itself. If the NCAA wants the first two rounds on the same weekend, then let the 1 seed host the whole regional. Sure, it's a huge advantage, but if you're a 1, you've earned it, and the crowd won't be dead then.

Re: Attendance at Regionals
Originally posted by matt View PostSorry, but that's just ridiculous. That would have the 2nd game ending after midnight. Large portions of the crowd are coming in either from Detroit area or Chicago area and are returning to their homes afterwards. It's not doable with an evening schedule.
