Could Cornell be a host team?

[quote RichH][quote Jeff Hopkins '82][quote BCrespi]Wayne Dean, Associate AD of Yale being interviewed on the broadcast right now, mentioned that getting Yale a home game (he actually said, "a couple home games" WOOF!) made all the work of hosting the Bridgeport regional worth it.  Certainly applicable to the discussions we were having on here.  He was also very optimistic about selling out the rink.[/quote]

Not if Yale's crummy showing in Albany is any indication.  They barely sold out one section of the TUC.[/quote]

Yeah, but as an "outsider" who happens to live there, I can tell you that Connecticutians are very into supporting the local basketball teams.  As long as they don't have to travel far.  This is why UConn basketball teams play half their games in Hartford, and half in Storrs.[/quote]

FYP. That's why UConn plays all their home hockey games in a half-empty 2,000 seat dump.

That said, the regional has been promoted quite a bit around the state. It's a shame the games on friday are 3 and 6:30. That's a deal breaker for plenty of casual fans.

The regional will have Vermont and Yale and looks to have Denver and Miami. Vermont should travel well. The other three are sort of a mystery for who shows up at Harbor Yard. At least if you come from out west, it's easy to fly into NY.

I think we are going to end up in Minneapolis playing Northeastern in the first round. I haven't studied how the committee works that well though.

I like how both articles mention that students can get a set of tickets to all games for $20 instead of the $220 they paid last year for the same seats. Does that work the same for hockey? Or are they still charging everyone close to $200 for a set of tickets?
