Re: NCAA Semifinal: Plattsburgh vs. Norwich
You are right, when there is very little to no money in it, they then go to "secondary criteria", that is when they do something right.
Also, this interesting Herb Brooks Arena/Lake Placid story, puts the capacity at 8,200 and a security stopping limit at 12,000!
The last minute fares (midwest airports to BTV) are about $500 round trip ($17,000), my guess is that an "Official Travel Partner" would have contracted the package at $10,000 or less, plus use of the NCAA logo. With over night charter buses costing about $1,000 a day, it likely would have cost about $7,500 more to fly versus bus.
