In all honesty, I would consider 3600 people to be a real
disappointment. Van Andel had 6500, and Ann Arbor is about as far from
there as Durham is from Amherst, and a farther than Cambridge. If 3600
is all you can muster, then I think that the east is actually in the
same boat as the west, despite the shorter distances. Worcester did
well, but by our standards, it's a suburb of Boston.
Also, isn't the Mullins Center a campus site, albeit one for a team that
didn't make the tournament? It looks to me like the eastern regionals
are not necessarily going to neutral sites.
