Where will the final four be played? Is it guaranteed to be out west? Wisconsin, St. Norbert’s or Stevens Point or could it come East at Geneseo, Oswego or Norwich? Taken into consideration one of those teams is in the final four? Or will it be at a neutral site.

Re: National Championship Site
Can anyone confirm that Augsburg has applied to host? I know SNC and Point have, and assume Adrian has as well.
I also assume if St.Johns won the MIAC and somehow ended up being the only western school to advance to the frozen four they would be unable to host due to scheduling conflicts as they use St. Cloud State’s rink.

Knowing where the frozen 4 is to start the year makes it a lot easier for travelers. The last 2 years I booked SW flights in Sept for the frozen 4 and I guess this upcoming year Sept I will make a Buffalo flight on SW once dates are announced for 2019-20.

Question was posed to hear what other peoples thoughts were on the topic!! We all understand its supposed to be out west, but no one really knows who has put in to host and whether NCAA will accept the bids. Also what if a west site is not suitable would it come back east. All legitimate questions.
Have a nice weekend, that is all.

Re: National Championship Site
Webb has a good take on it at the bottom of this article:
https://www.d3hockey.com/bracketolog...-what-to-watch
What he says, and what I didn't realize, is the NCAA is on the record saying they will give preference to a Western host in 2019 and an Eastern host 2021. I thought it was all whispers and innuendo, but there it is in print. So it seems like if either Stevens Point or St. Norbert are in the final four there is a very good chance it will be there, regardless of who is left in the East and their seeding.#OneKnight

Originally posted by Lightningvinny100 View PostWhat I do not like is the last minute airfare that would be involved with booking a late flight . I suppose one could book a SW flight into MKE with the odds the frozen 4 would be at WSP or SN. That’s the positive booking SW, you can change or cancel if needs be.

10-year attendance average for the D3 men's championship: 2128
2010 is eliminated from that average, there's no data on the attendance.
The 3 years that fall below 1800 announced attendance were in: Utica, Minneapolis, Minneapolis.
(Listed attendances: 1830 ('18), 1595 ('17), 2304 ('16), 1303 ('15), 1851 ('14), 2089 ('13), 3300 ('12), 1741 ('11), 0 ('10), 3141 ('09).
Interestingly, KB Willett has a listed seating capacity of 1800 as well. CCC is 1674.

I want to say the Norwich-Plattsburgh semifinal was 57 or 5900 or something like that and the title game was over 4k. Whatever it was it was big and easily the biggest of any of the years in Placid.
