some thoughts on what has been posted already... supercross racing: i was watching this a couple weeks ago on TV and thought the same thing. i checked out their schedule, and it is done by may. as was mentioned, the heating may be an issue if they tried to do an event in even march. and i think it would be tough to get the grass to grow if it were covered in all that dirt for a week or so before and during the event. badger hockey: they stopped playing the showdown in milwaukee due to a lack of interest. back in the "bring the NHL to milwaukee" days they had no problem selling the joint out for a couple games. at the end the attendance was verging on embarrassing. they have also already done lambeau and are doing camp randall next week so that may be close to getting played out. hoops: as was said, the heat problem would come up. also, it would be tough to configure the seating. people who went to ford field said there were maybe a couple thousand good seats for hoops. the rest were crap. for any game played at the cowboys stadium, if it is set up like ford field, more people will watch the game on the enormous screen than the actual live action on the floor. ncaa tournament: marquette is the official host for the tournament games, and they have repeatedly said they would rather host first and second round games because they have the opportunity to host 8 teams instead of 4 during the regional round. they can only host every 4-5 years, and i cant imagine they will lose out on the rotation as the NCAA likes to make sure that every area is covered geographically. some of the places out west arent the greatest venues, but they continue to use them to keep the geography balanced. UW does not have enough hotel rooms available to host first and second round games (at least they didnt a couple years ago) so milwaukee wont lost anything to them. the rotation of chicago, mpls, indy, milwaukee, and detroit will likely stay in place. i dont see UW getting another regional either. they are moving many of these to domes also...3 of 4 in 2010, 3 of 4 in 2011, 2 of 4 in 2012. the biggest problem is that it is hard to do these events during the baseball season, and you always run the risk of it being too cold to hold an event during the offseason...assuming you cant schedule anything there until november http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
