Central Region Talk

D2 championship played in a 2% full arena is bad look. Not sure what can be done about it, if anything.

Play the championship game in the same city as, and on the off day, of the D1 Final Four.

Did it in 2013, attendance was almost 8k.

Why not do it as a warmup game to the D1 championship? Same day. Let the fans in at no extra charge. Two games for the price of one. Thinking about it more though that would probably keep the fans of the D2 teams out in the cold. Never mind.

Bring it back to Sioux Falls? I thought it was a success in both 2017 and 2018. That, of course, had to do with Central Region teams being in it, but we had a team in it 6 years in a row prior to this year.

Might be good idea. Maybe there is enough d2 interest in and around the area to help with a bit more of an atmosphere even if central region teams not in finals, etc.? Could be wishful thinking

The Pentagon submitted a bid to keep it when the NCAA was determining sites for 2019 and beyond. However the rumblings were that the NCAA wanted to keep it closer to their main office in Indianapolis. Haters.
