The HFH would have pit space but not much seating, it is half the size of the Verizon center and had 2500 less seats than the Agganis arena. The only place in the capital region I would think could host a good regional would be the TUC (Pepsi Arena? I don't know what it is called anymore)

I got the info from a forwarded message from our RD.
ECAV is bigger and has more seating than the pre-2013 WPI Regional, with plenty of parking even if you have to walk around HFH.
I would guess the Armory works with supplemental bleachers and a slightly scattered pit area. I don't think it's ideal, but it would probably work for a smaller event.The Armory has some parking, particularly during break when the regional would probably be if hosted at RPI (around march 15th / week 3).
The Houston Field House is more than big enough for a regional this size, with plenty of seating as long as the field is parallel to the long side of the ice rink. However, it's hockey playoffs, so the field house probably isn't available.
Hudson Valley also has a reasonable arena, with a decent amount of parking and accessibility.
