Re: NCAA Change the Tourney
The sites are spread out and economics for the fan is a factor. I am a long time Lake Superior State fan. In the early 90s, I always went to the CCHA finals at Joe Louis in Detroit. That weekend with family was expensive, so when the Lakers were in a regional the following week, I stayed home hoping for a berth in the FF. I was rewarded three straight years - 1992-1994 - and went to the FF each time. back in those days the regional were not televised and only on radio. Now with cable I can watch almost all the regional games.
The days of the cheap plane ticket are behind us. As someone else pointed out, even some of the BB venues were lightly attended. I don't see two sites working any better than four. Trying smaller (less than 10,000 seats) venues may work.
