Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 3245134, member: 73"] The question arises will the teams that draw alot of fans...will their fans be willing to travel far away and how many of those fans will travel far away. Example. UConn sells out Harbor Yard and Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport at a very high price for a ticket compared to some other places. So if 9,000+ fans go to Bridgeport how many of those fans will go to Indiana and will other teams who draw far less fans ..will their teams travel to those games. IMO CT Tenn Oregon and some other teams that draw should be very very close to home. I do like the 8 team concept. I was looking at setting up a tourney of 8 teams coming to CT for a Holiday tournament with UConn and maybe another CT D1 team along with some big named teams. The tourney would run for 3 days with afternoon and evening games. The cost was very high and teams wanted to be guaranteed x amount of dollars. Of course hotels restaurants parking would be relishing on the thought of what they could earn. With the costs the way they were ticket prices would have to have been very high too. [/QUOTE]
