Once upon a time, the Regional tournament sites were truly regional.  They were even called the East, South, Midwest and Far West Regionals, and the teams at each were drawn from that geographical region of the country.  Nowadays, with more national attention focused on the sport, the teams are seeded 1-68, and dispersed accordingly, notwithstanding the distance they might have to travel.

BTW, my two cents says the reduction to two regional tournament sites sucks.  Surely there are 4 venues around the country that would draw fans thirsting for a weekend of championship basketball competition.  The NCAA seems to be more focused on getting more bang for the buck from the nationwide TV production than the local fan exposure.

On a matter unrelated to this thread (sorry, Nan), how about staging Aaliyah's homecoming game next year in Whitehorse.  It would be UConn's first visit to the Y-u-k-o-n.  Can't you just see it -- Nika and Paige driving dogsleds full of 2-legged Huskies, drawn by the 4-legged variety.  (Just kidding.)
