It’s been the MAAC’s long-standing position to not go more than a year at the Pepsi, and it makes sense to me, Siena’s fan base is larger than Fairfield, Iona and Manhattan COMBINED. Not to mention record attendance at last years MAAC tournament.

Now that’s not to say I don’t think Bridgeport should get the tournament. On the contrary I think Bridgeport should get the opportunity to show what it can do as soon as possible, if that means taking Buffalo’s spot in 2005 so be it, If not then I’d be shocked to see Bridgeport get the tournament before 2007. Bet the house, its a lock that the MAAC tournament will be in Albany 2006.

Bridgeport will probably be a good bet for the tourney but is not a sure thing, Albany is as close to a sure thing as the MAAC has

One other thin StagAl, if you want to register for the Siena board you have to provide a Email address, it will be kept confidential

First off, it is already "official" that the 04 MAAC tourney is in Albany and the 05 is in Buffalo. Those are done deals.

Tony is right, the MAAC won't go more than a year at a time away from the Pepsi, so it is very safe to assume that 06 will be in Albany.

I think 07 in Bridgeport is a very very strong possibility, though. Trenton likely won't get another sniff after this year, and Buffalo COULD continue to get chances every five years if the schools up there cry enough. But if Bridgeport is monsterously successful, hopefully the MAAC will do the right thing and just keep the two sites.

It can be revisited again if/when an arena in Westchester is built.

Buffalo is a joke for the MAAC tournament, but Trenton will be an embarrassment.
