However painful, I must disagree with Mike about moving the first round to campus sites. Using the example he did of playing in the Walter Brown Arena, even with the game in Worcester (just 60 miles away, but not as convenient as Boston) the game with LSSU drew about 10000 fans, 6000 of whom would have had to stay home and watch on TV. What if a school like Princeton or Colgate, with even smaller rinks, got home ice? The larger sites are necessary to accomodate the fan interest. The early games are the problem, but it is a real disadvantage to have a full two week period without a game, just look at how bad UNH looked after their "rest".
