Message: [QUOTE="Vowelguy, post: 2624324, member: 59"] 1) You can only have a regional where locations bid. 2) UNC and Duke were not successful bc of their rabid fan bases. Hardly. When Duke has hosted the opening weekend, they typically had among the most abysmal attendance. Last year: 2300 for one game and 1900 for the other. I'm not sure why I have 2010 stats, but that year - with predetermined sites - Durham averaged 3900. That was 6th best out of the 9 sites that included a home team. Even Norfolk VA and Pittsburgh had better attendance despite not having the host school playing. (Norfolk had UConn and Pitt had Ohio St) Btw, Greensboro NC (2019) and Greenville SC (2020) will be hosting in coming years. [/QUOTE]
