There are a lot DU alums, families, and fans who want to attend the game. I am
going to the game watch at Magness athletic center on campus to see it.
But even without local teams, there may be an influx of fans, e.g. it's fairly easy to get a flight from Boston to MSP.
I'm at the Frozen Four every year, but only on pre-purchased tickets, so I don't have any familiarity with the secondary market.
Gut tells me prices might drop after the semi’s since some fans of the losers may be dumping tickets. OTOH if the final is BU -BC that may be a unique enough NC matchup that prices don’t drop? Just my gut as I know I’ll be more interested in going if it’s BU-BC.
The other was 1978.
BU beating BC in the Finals 5-3 was the 4th time that they beat the Eagles that season including 12-5 in the Beanpot, and 10-5 in BC's McHugh Forum. They dominated things that season and ended up with a 30-2 record
