Message: [QUOTE="UConn9604, post: 1067021, member: 3825"] If they don't play the first round of games at on-campus stadiums, or sites convenient to one or more of the teams, the crowds will look a lot like our 2013 Memphis game in a few years. It's one thing to ask 1,000-2,000 fans from each school to travel up to three times in three weeks in hoops (first-round, Sweet 16 and Final Four), particularly for the first two, which are played in 15,000-20,000 seat stadiums. It's quite another to ask 10,000-15,000 of those same fans to travel three times to three different NFL-sized stadiums, all in the dead of winter, back-to-back-to-back. If the ticket-buying requirements aren't relaxed, schools will get killed financially. [/QUOTE]
