Any truth to the Rumor


Recommended Posts

That Nebraska and PBA will be hosting a men's Regional Next. A co worker ask if I had heard that Lincoln would be hosting a men's regional this basketball season. He told me that his son who lives in Omaha had heard that Lincoln was hosting. I told him that I hadn't heard any thing so I'm turning to you guys for input.

Maybe he was talking about the regional in Omaha and I misunderstood him. Thanx Kamdyman.

Omaha isn't even hosting a regional, they have the 2nd/3rd round games.  It is extremely unlikely that either city would ever host a regional.

 

While technically this is true (the NCAA calls them "preliminary" rounds)...they're still commonly referred to as regionals.  The four sites that host 4th/5th rounds host what most refer to as the regional finals.  Everybody knows what Bugeaters was talking about.

 

But having that said, is Lincoln even able to host the men's tournament in any capacity?  I know that rules dictate a certain number of hotels within a certain radius of the arena, but I don't know if they're over that threshold.

It's going to take a lot more investment into LNK before we start hosting anything big like this.

I was told that the host city had to have so many Hotels with 24 hr service like restaurants etc.

And probably a certain number of hotels directly connected to the arena...

This is not a requirement.

They clearly don't know the Nebraska hospitality. There's plenty of "hotels" and "24 hour service."

 

"Hey guys, welcome to Lincoln. Come and stay at our place. We'll give you free room & board and cook you a nice dinner."
