Looks like I get to be the only person here rooting for us to be placed in Sioux Falls.

Frankly, if we don't stay east, Sioux Falls vs. Loveland is kinda six of one, half a dozen of the other to me. [ETA:] Other than the whole "no direct flights" thing, anyway.

I'm hoping that, with the Kraken being an NHL team as of the 2021 season, we'll get a Frozen Four in Seattle one of these years. Per this list, looks like it won't be for a while.

Oh yeah, dss28 and I are definitely going to that one if we have anything to say about it.

Anyone know how much longer (if at all) the ECAC finals are locked into Lake Placid?

My google fu can find no commitment beyond March 2021.

BTW, sponsorship packages are still available for next year, if you want to compete with Howie's Hockey Tape and those milk dudes whose name I have forgotten.

Apparently Maryland Heights is in Missouri.

Apparently Maryland Heights is in Missouri.

It was a "wide open town" back when, so perhaps there will be an apres hockey scene with gambling, gangsters, and whores. I mean if you like that sort of thing.

And you can stay in St. Louis Park when you go to Minnesota for the St. Paul Frozen Four.

"why can't we just host a damn regional already?"

These site announcements really ought to kill off the whole idea that distance from the venue is an impediment. Vermont is the host institution for st.louis FF and the vegas host is also a loooong distance away from Vegas.

because our AD doesnt want the work that hosting requires

There's no point in hosting at a site Cornellians can't get to easily.

I am all for Cornell hosting in NY, CT, NJ, maybe PA. Otherwise, meh.

I agree. I think my point was that it needn't be practically next door (essentially Rochester or Buffalo).


Does anyone have an informed opinion , not just speculation, as to what schools get out of the deal when they host (assuming their team is unlikely to make the tournament ala UVM)?

I can only find info on 2500 seat indoor and a 4000 seat semi-outdoor arena in Maryland Heights. One is the Blues' practice facility. Seems kinda small, unless someone is planning to build something bigger.

Vegas is a sleaze hole.

Only the casinos. Stay away from them and it's one of the most lovely locations in the country.

LV is the same as NYC: just erase the people.

I avoided them as much as I could. I spent most of my time out in the desert. But you still have to sleep somewhere, and get from your hotel to the arena.

No, LV is nice as long as you don't interact with any people there.

This statement holds its truth value if you replace V with I.

where are you staying in vegas to feel that way. had nothing but great times out there. Between shopping/shows/gambling/food/exhibits/golf there is so much to do. Then take day side trips if you want too.. What was sleezy about your visits?

I love Vegas, but, to be fair, there's a place like this on every commercial surface street off the Strip.



And of course the Strip itself makes 25A in Nassau County look charming and refined.

Nice eyebrow, though.

no doubt.. but never had a reason to leave the strip, in only go in 3-4 day doses so never enough down time to need to wonder around the city.. much like any other city, When I go to Boston i dont just wonder to other parts of the city either.

Oh Vegas is fine in small doses. We enjoyed the hockey weekend, just enough time to see the craziness but not get annoyed with it. I'd be more than happy to have a couple more hockey tournaments there and a FF on/near the West Coast is awesome too.

We have friends who have lived in Vegas for a decade. They've never been to the Strip. It is a vacuum cleaner to suck the wallets of moron tourists and keep the Life Giving Water coming. Imagine Times Square with attractive people.

I haven't found the Sic Bo tables in Time Square though I wasn't looking.

I was staying a few blocks from the arena. You had to walk through a smoky, noisy sports bar and casino just to get from the room to the garage as well as to get out the front door. Then you had to cross the strip through crowds including panhandlers, showgirls, touts, and what were most likely hookers to get to the arena.

I was there for hockey, not shows or gambling. I spent my days birdwatching in the desert. That was nice.

Actually, I wouldn't mind if we ended up in Longmont. There's some great birdwatching areas within an hour of there.

Tell me, what's wrong with Times Square? Basically within a block in any direction you have some of the best entertainment you can find.

In regards to "attractive people", you're going to have explain to me what you mean.

Let's talk about the present, okay?

The title of the YouTube you linked to: "Dirty Seedy Old Times Square and 42nd St. ("The Deuce" ) before gentrification"

So you still didn't tell me what's wrong with Times Square.

The two years I lived in Salt Lake, I drove to Santa Barbara about a half-dozen times, and Vegas was actually an important milestone since it was, at the time, the first In-n-Out Burger en route to California. Aside from that In-n-Out and assorted gas stations, I never actually spent any time *in* LV, despite driving through it repeatedly.

I did visit Hoover Dam once, though.

When Dr. Mrs. was on hill staff we got the "double secret" tour. You would absolutely eat it up. The behind-the-scenes stuff at HD is incredible, and that's from a layman. A physicist would appreciate it 100x more.

I took the regular tour 35 years ago. Even that was impressive.
