    The phrase "our arena" is where you run into that problem.

      Apparently so, I wonder if ISU would let BU rent Redbird Arena for a night. Wouldn't that be odd

        The ICC Gym would be a decent alternate besides Chicago. I think that place can hold a few thousand. Would just be tough getting a ticket.

          The Lo Ram? Yeesh. Pekin could handle more.

            Actually, that's really odd that we are. According to the Peoria Civic Center website, there are no events on March 26 (the High School Musical Ice Tour starts the next day), and that's when the semifinals are supposed to be (see the CBI home page). Therefore, we shouldn't have this scheduling mixup, unless the Peoria Civic Center staff really needs at least 20 hours to fix the ice under the basketball court.

              tough as it sounds, it's true.
              If the arena even thought about breaking the agreement with Disney, it would cost them MILLIONS down the road, as other performances would be hesitant to come to Peoria if they couldn't be assured they have a solid agreement.

              At least the BLUE MAN GROUP did us a stupendous favor!!! (potentially)
              They scheduled only ONE SHOW and they picked April 1!!
              That's an off night for the CBI with the final series being played March 31, April 2, and April 4.
              Thanks Blue Guys!

                  What about US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington? That has to hold more than any other local venue that's available.

                    I am not sure Bradley would agree to a guarantee as far away as Bloomington, even if the guarantee has been reduced, which is certainly possible.


                    Tulsa drew 5300 according to their total, but like Bradley, there is no reason to suspect accuracy in the figure.

                      From what I understand, they will be "setting up" the night before for the H.S. Musical date.

                        Gotta have the Field House bail us out on this one. Play the game there. If you don't want to stand up, don't go! I can't imagine any team in this tourney coming in to the Field House and winning. Plus I heard TCS and Egolf are lights out at the Field House.

                          Plus, for the record, and am dead serious, I would volunteer any time needed after the game to help set up for the Crap on Ice Tour.

                              Or they could rent folding chairs for the field house... I for one would happily stand for the game.

                                YES.....and what a send-off for the Fieldhouse that would be!
