NCAA regionals in Springfield

[Al DeFlorio]

A few of 'em like us, even though they think we're playing in Sioux Falls: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/ncaa/picksRegionals.php

4 out of 9 have us winning the region. That's remarkable.

Interesting to me that Adam has Cornell losing to Maine in the first game. My recollection is when many here were expecting a difficult rebuilding year Adam was one of the more optimistic posters. Maybe he's trying a reverse jinx :-)

The arena website says the parking garage is closed due to construction, so I'm sure parking is going to be fun.

Everything I'm reading online says you can park for free at the MGM Springfield, which is an 8 minute walk from the arena.

I make no promises, but this is the approach I plan on taking.

some pages say parking is free for guests.  Others says it's free for everyone.  Not sure which is right.

Coming from NYC, any parking less than $40 will feel like it's free.

But there are a few reddit posts of people saying they parked there for free while seeing other Springfield attractions. I'll post my findings early if I get there for the UMass game.

my opinion is that cornell got 4/9 votes because Denver is playing a road game in the first round but the voters don't respect UMass enough to send them to the Final Four. I like it though!

I was told that it's free parking for anyone who uses it, but that it will fill up quickly on a game day, and that it will be a bit of a traffic jam getting out afterwards.

These are not two separate ideas. When people were expecting 25-30 in Pairwise - I said top 15. Check. Now they have to defeat No. 5. Different story.

That said ........ no comment.

Parking garage was filling up but was by no means full.  Free.  Good luck if you're still heading here.

I've brought out the heavy artillery.

Parked on the street.

Cornell is on the "home" bench, so Maine will shoot twice towards our section.

The better to appreciate Ian Shane, I guess.

And it looks like this will be the case tomorrow as well.  The arena flipped our seats to the opposite corner (Section 11), and Denver took the "home" bench in the early game, so we'll likely be sitting in the defensive zone for 1 and 3.
