Exclamation Re: Midwest Regional Changing Venues?
Hmm...maybe this is the excuse we need to get a regional at the US Cellular Arena in Milwaukee - great location, great size, parking could get ugly, but only if there is something going on at the Bradley Center (Bucks game...).

That, or maybe the UIC Pavillion.

Either way, it'll be interesting to see if this is legit or not, and if so, where it goes. Perhaps with the regional at Purdue, Moving the Midwest Regional to Milwaukee would not be such a bad move. With Motorola's sponsorship dwindling, wonderful sponsors in the Milwaukee area that could possibly be persuaded, and the number of teams that pack into those pits at Welsh-Ryan, it actually seems like a really GOOD idea.

Teams that go to Midwest from the north and west of Chicago could go to the Milwaukee regional...Indiana and Michigan teams could go to West Lafayette...and all of the above can still go to the other regionals they used to go to as well. Or they can go to both really close regionals.

Time will tell.

Just remember that this IS indeed a rumor mill - this IS the place for rumors. In this forum, speculation like mine can be accepted OR rejected with good, clean, discussion. Nothing that I have said is fact nor do I have any insight into any of it coming true. Do not view this post as an additional set of rumors, just a decent analysis of the situation.
