Both of those events get real media attention. The local papers and television stations do stories on the events every year. In Duluth, one of the local teams has partnered with the newspaper to put a wrap over the paper during the event so everyone who gets a paper knows what's going on at the DECC that week.

That's not loud, that's LOUD.

The Duluth double-regional venue would probably make for a rather loud two-field state championship similar to Michigan's this year.

If MN sends half of its 192 teams (96) to MNSC, each team could have 12 qualifications matches with 96 matches played on each field, which is comparable to the current Duluth regionals (90 qualification matches at NLR, 95 at LSR).
