Why is there an NCAA regional game in Green Bay??? Come on, the wizards who run the tourney couldn't find a better site?
Not many schools want to bid for the NCAA ice hockey regionals. They have to guarantee ticket sales, can't sell beer/alcohol and remove all sponsor signage from the building.
I'd expect close to a sellout for the Sioux games.
Because Green Bay had the best bid.
Anyone can bid on these - put up the most money and you have good chance to win hosting duties.
Don't imagine more than 50 DU fans up there unless some Chicago alums drive up...
Don't forget Makowski played in GB for 3 years & was/is well liked. i think you will see a strong DU crowd and sentiment. More"DU" fans than you might think due to this factor.
