They are darn good and admittedly fun to watch. I was hoping to take my daughter to the game on Friday, but not for these prices. We'll go to a sports bar.If they held the finals in Madison, it would be at a smaller arena as I believe LaBahn holds less than 3k fans. My guess is that they want to keep the games at home ice arenas. They could host it at the Xcel Energy Center where the Minnesota Wild play, and probably pack that place.Let's be real though. Southeastern WI doesn't know hockey from its rear end. As someone who grew up in Milwaukee, I can say that there is a monumental difference between Minnesota and Wisconsin in terms of hockey. The state nearly grinds to a halt for three things annually - fishing opener, deer opener, and the state high school hockey tournament. Go to northern MN and everybody and their grandma plays hockey. There's a reason that the US Hockey Hall of Fame is in Eveleth, MN. Anyway, the NCAA knows that even if the Gophers aren't in the Frozen Four that hockey fans will fill the stands. You can't say that about many other places for hockey, let alone women's hockey.Good luck to everyone on Friday though. It should be fun.</blockquote>
