Gotta agree with Guy here. Media attention will be fine, in fact most of the media folks will make the trip to Trenton. Its support of the locals that's somewhat in question. I do think BPort stands a excellent chance of succeding mainly because so many teams are within a 3 hour drive. I think the bottom line here is Bport will eventually get the event and my guess is they will support the tournament fine, from both a media and fans in the stands prespective.

I mean its easy for us fans to see that, can anybody tell me what in the world was Ensor thinking in booking the tournament in Trenton?

When the BPort Arena was just being hatched, the SBA was already in place, and Ensor was willing to consider any facility that wasn't in Buffalo. Then, if you recall, in the SBA's first season, they held that doubleheader pitting Siena vs St. Peter's and Iona vs Rider, which drew pretty well (2-3K?). It was at this blessed event where I got to meet the one and only RiderRaver, who was also the victim of Maureen Ruland's classic "Shut up Fatty!" I believe I also met Peacock that day as well.

Anyway, the moderate success of the twofer was probably enough for Ensor to give Trenton a try. Unfortunately for him, every Rider game at the SBA that hasn't been against Rutgers or Princeton has drawn flies.

Another question: didn't the NEC hold its tournament there last year, or perhaps the year before? Can anyone get their hands on those attendance numbers?
