33,549The games were thrilling, the fans were great and when it was all said and done Denver had broken the college hockey record for attendance at an NCAA Regional. The three-game attendance of 33,549 set the NCAA regional record at the Pepsi Center this weekend. And to think it was all done, without DU making the Tournament.
.
This is going to change the way regional sites are selected, marketed & staged in the future. The partnership between DU and the Denver Metro Sports Commission pulled off the stunning result despite DU & Colorado College failing to make the NCAA Tournament.
.
Over 8,600 ticket packages were purchased months before the event by DU, CC & Avalanche fans, and that, more than anything else, propelled the attendance figures. Those fans will be eligible to purchase 2,800 Frozen Four tickets at next years National Championship event at the Pepsi Center.
