I agree with Sara's comment about scheduling games on Easter Sunday as an
explanation for light turn out. I was at the UNH-DU game in Amherst, and
my guess is that there were less than 2500 seats filled, mostly by UNH
fans (USCHO says 3422, but I doubt it; Mullins holds about 8400 for
hockey). I was not in Amherst for the two Saturday games, but USCHO lists
3622 for both DU-Bemidji State and UNH-Harvard games (sounds dubious, but
maybe someone who was there could comment).

I am not getting into this east-west debate but I will say that today
being Easter may make a difference in attendance.

Just a reminder - If you are lucky enough to go to Columbus and are
planning on going to the dinner, be sure and RSVP to Carol right away.
Seats are limited.
