      If MN said no... We wouldn't need UND. There would be 4 teams

        Selfishly I’d love for UND to be in it. I’d definitely make the trip wherever the site may be, and so would many others

            LOVE this idea but as others have stated, it won't happen thanks to the Gophers.

                It'd be a blast. I mean, a couple thousand opposing fans of MN teams converging on Mankato/Bemidji/St Cloud/Duluth...packing your team bar before the games. It'd be a lot of fun and bring some pride (and business) to the host city.

                It confuses me so many say the Gophers wouldn't be interested, but I wonder why? What is the negative for them? Whatever revenue you lose from not hosting you'll more than offset in residuals from the GREAT PR you're doing for your fans. You all point out, they can't fill the seats in Mariucci. One of the main complaints is a lack of rivalry games against in-state schools. Even if it isn't at Mariucci, it's providing your fans with something they're longing for. You lose revenue from the tourney, but gain it back in more butts in your seats from fans re-engaged in your program.

                  Well I'd say it's greed more than arrogance. JMHO.

                    I'm guessing the U is still pulling in a bundle of money even with the mostly empty arena. Tickets sold is a quite a bit different than actual butts in seats or at least it has been in years past. So the U is still making money on tickets sold and they don't want to give up a home series.

                    What you're saying make sense, it's just not going to happen with the U involved I'm afraid. I was having a similar discussion with the UND fans after going to the Vegas game. It was so much fun and I'd love to do more destination games, that is UND's new thing apparently. The problem is the U is selfish and greedy and would rather have their team play at home in front of a maybe half full crowd at Mariucci instead of doing something that might promote their program, promote college hockey, and enhance/renew rivalries.

                    Sad, really.

                              It is sad. Screw the fan is basically what Minny is saying. UND will be taking on Penn St In Nashville in 2 years. Really looking forward to that one. Nashville is a great city and I wouldn’t be surprised if that arena isn’t close to being 3/4’s full if not more.
