I think the problem has always been that Milwaukee doesn't have enough hotel space in the immediate downtown area.

I thought that was for hosting the final four in Miller Park.

(In addition to the oft cited fact that it will not heat up above the 50s with the roof closed in winter).

I would sell that as being perfect temperature for the guys running up and down the court for 2 hours - just like it's the perfect temperature to run a marathon in. 

Tell those nancyboys in the stands to put on a flippin' jacket.
Have some patience, FFS.

Running 3 miles in short sprints over 2 separate 20 minute halves is much different than running 26 miles over multiple straight hours.  Basketball in 50 degree weather sucks.

From a very good and reliable source, MU doesn't care to host the regionals, as it has less teams . Rnd 1&2 hv more teams and a bigger bang for the buck, for all the work involved.  They did put in for the Frozen Four as well ... Bids should come out in April... 8-)

The only way Milwaukee would have a chance at hosting a regional (and MU would pursue such an uphill battle) would be if they wanted to host a Final Four at some point... and that isn't happening in Milwaukee.  Even if they figured out the supplemental heating thing at Miller Park, the horticultural sorcery necessary to pull off Opening Day within a week of a Final Four in an early-spring-Milwaukee climate seems like a bit too much to ask.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Like I said, they have NO interest in the Regional bracket...  Nothing to do with Final Four..   8-)

Not any more.  The NCAA has thankfully moved away from hosting regionals at Final Four sites.  This year's regionals are in Kansas City, San Jose, Memphis and NYC. Next year they are in Boston, Omaha, LA and Atlanta (Philips Arena, not the dome). Atlanta is the city among the group that will host the Final Four, and that's in 2020.

While that may be true, the NCAA won't award a Final Four to a site that hasn't hosted a Regional Final.  Call it a test-run or a dress rehearsal if you will, but the NCAA wants to see the organizers and the City pull off a Regional first before they're going to award its crown jewel.

In other words, regionals don't have to be at Final Four sites, but a Final Four site has to be at a regional site.

I think 90% of the Badger basketball team is majoring in Horticulture Sorcery.

Nope, they are including an ice rink just so that they can get a Frozen Four (and Disney on Ice).  The admirals are not coming however.

Ice under the basketball floor?

Buzz to Marquette!

You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
