Originally posted by pgb-ohio View PostBeyond 2021, place all four regionals east of the Hudson. Every year. Albany, on the river, can be eligible. Since it's been deemed that the New England/AHL Rink regionals work, let's just go with it.
If you're from New England, you're all set. If not, you've got a viable option. Book a flight into the New England city of your choice. Buy far in advance to get a decent deal. Then, no matter which regional your team winds up in, it's an easy drive from the airport of your choice.
Best airport if you want to limit driving? Perhaps Hartford. Annual trip to Boston? Obvious advantages.
Inexpensive travel for Western fans? Not exactly. But perhaps doable. Which can't be said of the status quo, which often demands full price air fare on three days notice.

I did intend to generate a smile while raining on the parade. At the same time, having all 4 regionals in the NE literally is more reasonable than the status quo.
In deference to the thread-starter, I'll admit I'm not predicting 4 NE Regionals. But if it actually came to pass, I might very well buy that advance plane ticket and attend the regionals again.

5,000 seat arena minimum and $150,000 guarantee to the NCAA is a huge hurdle for many schools. The minimum bid specs don't say anything about campus sites being excluded entirely, but I think the schools out west would prefer the requirements change for the next cycle of bidding.

Just thinking aloud for what new venues could be in the west.... Des Moines (the AHL rink, not the USHL), Rockford, Quad Cities, AllState in Chicago?

The ever-valuable Todd Milewski reports that UW has in fact bid the Kohl Center for 2021 and 2022.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.
