Yeah, that is clearly suspcious.

I say strange because the "argument" has always been that Eastern
Regionals have more neutral site venues to choose from, and the reason
why Western Regionals are on-campus is because supposedly that is the
only way they can draw attendence-wise.

Of course, the Mullins Center will be a neutral ice venue because UMass
won't be there.  :-)
