MAAC Madness in Springfield
The MAAC has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow morning in Springfield to announce future plans for the MAAC tournament.
Assuming the league sticks to its plan to award the tournament to the same site for the next three-year period, Springfield will be the tournament's home from 2012-14.

Kudos for selecting a TRULY Neutral site. Now the MAAC and the tournament organizing committee has the task of drumming up local interest, as that is what will ultimately determine if such a move is successful or not.
This is absolutely the worst choice of them all. no one will attend this, it's not close to any of the schools
Like boomboom and I have argued, Springfield is clearly the Best of Breed. There's no place quite like it in early March. Great job by MAAC!
MMC is only 8.19 miles further from Rider's Campus according to Mapquest. How is that really going to change the # of Bronc fans attending?
And unfortunately when they had their shot at the SBA the same 1,650 who show up in Alumni Gym came out for the tourney, so you are not going to get any closer for a NEUTRAL locale, unless they went to AC but the A-10 is there now.
