Maybe the fianacial and ownership problems in Buffalo will force the Arena to reneg and Bridgeport can slide in for '05. The way things are in Buffalo now, I find it hard to believe they can make good on a pretty steep guarantee.

It is up to the civic leaders of Bridgeport to get the MAAC tourney at Harbor Yard. If they put their money where the fans' mouths are, Dick Ensor will have to listen.

Seeng the finals from Buffalo a few years back was embarrassing - this year threatens to look even worse. If the final match consists of any combination of Iona/Manhattan/Fairfield/Siena, they might draw 2500 - and that's the best-case scenario. Play the game at Harbor Yard and you'd see close to twice that (easily more if the Stags were there).

Might as well hold the tourney at the higher seeded teams' home court. Very sad - the quality of play in the MAAC FAR EXCEEDS the level of media attention and fan interest (Albany excepted)...
