            Whatever numbers the venue releases, the NCAA expects that amount paid to them in ticket sales. So, the venue has no incentive whatsoever inflating numbers.

            And that first year at Placid? There were indeed that many people. They even opened up the upper deck, which they never do.
            556 reportedly showed-up for the Salve/Point game, and that's pretty sad... Maybe a more accessible venue -even Utica- would make better sense after all.

            (Or Romney, or even Plattsburgh, as far as the East goes... It's been a long time since The Miracle on Ice, and the shine is off the trophy for anyone under 40 or so. LP is just a tough trip for almost everyone.)

                These teams would not have drawn anymore in Utica. Don’t kid yourself.

                    A shame that the attendance will probably very low this year.

                    Lake Placid still rocks, though.
                    I must have checked in just behind you, and got 10% off because of the low turnout!? If the NCAA continues with a pre-determined neutral site after this year's attendance debacle (not more than 800 for either semi), I'd be surprised. Yeah, it's nice for neutral fans like myself, but they're (the NCAA) losing a large chunk of change.

                      Next year is campus sites. 2020 is Buffalo Harborcenter, 2021 campus site and 2022 is Placid.

                          There were more for Colby, but I'm still a little surprised by that number.

                            This was really the only year a neutral could be considered a failure. Look at those numbers I posted and compare them to on campus site numbers.

                              We are not attending, but it is obvious from the stream that there is a very low turnout.
                              We have talked about this and an idea we have had is change the format by including the Women’s Championship.
                              Start Thursday with the men’s semi’s and Friday with the Women’s semi’s.. With the Championships on Saturday and Sunday. Please if you don’t like this so be it, but it might help the situation.
                              I have been told that no one is submitting a bid for next years venue.

                                I’ve been advocating to try this for over five years now. Just don’t think it has gained much traction though at the national level unfortunately.

                                Not sure on the truth of no one submitting a bid or not. I do know that the men’s coaches did vote and were in favor of returning to campus sites for at least a one in every 3 or 4 year cycle. Next year will be campus as will 2021.
