I'd vote no on Ford Field. I'm sure that a Frozen Four there would be set up like the basketball Final Fours, with the rink in the middle of the stadium. Most people I know who have bought seats from the lottery for the Final Four say that you can hardly see anything at all.

The NC$$ today announced it narrowed the bid cities from 12 to the final 6.
Committee members will visit all the locations for site visits before we
present to them at Indianapolis in June.  Thanks to everyone here who gave
great input which helped us craft our Washington, DC bid to make it into the
final six.

Washington, DC  MCI Center              Naval Academy   Atlantic Hockey
Philadelphia    Wachovia Center Niagra/Rider    MAAC
Tampa Bay               St. Pete Forum  UAH                     CHA
Boston          BankNorth Garden                                Hockey East

Interested in everyone's thoughts on the remaining finalists-- positive or
negative.
