2023 NCAA Tournament: Regionals

[Tcl123]

the only reason to buy ahead is of you really want to sit in a certain section.

I'm sure it's not hard "migrating" over to our home section.

... its at best 1/3 full.

You're an optimist.

I just went to the Ticket-shafter site.  There were a lot fewer seats available than I thought there'd be.  I'd estimate 800 or so.  And it doesn't look like they're selling the upper bowl.

I went to the Ticket-shafter site about an hour ago.  There were a lot fewer seats available than I thought there'd be.

I assume the four schools get an allotment that are held back from general sale for at least a few days.

Probably.  It looks like there are whole sections in the lower bowl that are blocked out.  In fact, every other section in the lower bowl is shown as "no seats available"

360 miles Ithaca to Manchester NH for the NCAA Regional to play the defending national champ. 300 miles for us coming out of Metro NY (NJ).

Allentown or Bridgeport would've been fine. Manchester is a reach for Cornell fans unless they're well into New England (Westport and Greenwich don't count).

Jeff Schulman, Vermont athletic director and chair of the NCAA hockey committee (the guy on video with dry-cleaning hanging on the wall in the corner of the screen), said in-person attendance played some role in team placement, in which case Cornell might've been in Allentown else Bridgeport.

But we also came a little too close to not being in the tournament at all. So any region is good.


PS 2024 regionals below. Maryland?

• Maryland Heights Regional: Centene Community Ice Center, Maryland Heights, Mo.
• Providence Regional: Dunkin' Donuts Center, Providence, R.I.
• Sioux Falls Regional: Denny Sanford Premier Center, Sioux Falls, S.D.
• Springfield Regional: MassMutual Center, Springfield, Mass.

• Frozen Four: Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, Minn.

they sell seats in blocks, teams are going to get like 1k or whatever and then turn them back in as well..

They really dont want to sell the upperdeck unless demand is shown because then they have to have people to control and work those areas.

it only holds 10k

just to compare the regionals last yr had 3-5k in Mass.

[upprdeck]

of the #1s denver is the one having the most issues right now..  All you can ask for if you play well.

[billhoward]

In the interests of transparency, the NCAA ought (yeah, I know, transparency and NCAA two words apart) to note that some sections are blocked out for school allocations, if you don't see seats available, check back.

[billhoward]

And it always feels good to get a second crack at BU, should Cornell and BU prevail Thursday. It's do-able.

Fairfield County here. It's a three hour drive to Manchester. I did it as a day trip when they played Lowell up there. It's not hard. Thursday afternoon is a bigger challenge than the location.

PS 2024 regionals below. Maryland?

• Maryland Heights Regional: Centene Community Ice Center, Maryland Heights

Maryland Heights, Missouri.  It's a suburb of St.Louis.

The rink is tiny.  According to anything I can find, it seats between 4000 and 4500.

Definitely not the person I bribed to get us placed in Allentown the last five years.
