I think it's a great idea!  It will give RPI (and Union) the much needed
experience playing in a large arena in front of larger crowds.  They
should move the Christmas tournament there as well; it could help get
them more corporate sponsorship and eventually a better yield of teams;
they need more western opponents.  An invitation to the RPI Tounament
is paid for by the tournament fund (at least it used to be ) and would
yield a paid for trip out west (I would hope)
