They have us playing in that same Spokane arena. I can't decide if the familiarity would be nice or if it's best for us to just stay away from that place.

here is the non mobile version. So something that I thought was weird. They had Milwaukee hosting two number one seeds. Is that possible?

Yes. I think that happened a few times over the last few years.

I don't think Gonzaga can play there
damn that sucks. Scratch Milwaukee off my list of place to travel. It looks like the buffs will only go there if they are an 8/9 or #1 seed (highly unlikely). I am just so disinterested in the games. the 1/16 always are terrible, so it is a waste of money IMO. The 8/9 games are great, but then the next game is the #1 seed, which I can't find any stats, but I would guess that the 8/9 wins that less than 20% of the time.

Depends who we play -- if it's an SUNY school, I like our chances more. If it's a school like Montana (worse yet, Gonzaga), I would hate it. All things being equal, I'd probably prefer playing elsewhere.

As long as they don't play 3 home games there, they can play there.

How many arenas do they have in Spo****INGkane?

Is it really necessary to have two? Most major cities only have ONE arena. And by arena, I'm not counting, college venues that seat less than 10k.
you seem to be really upset by this
Spokane Arena 12,210
Gonzaga 6000
So now that you clarified, Spokane has one arena that matches your criteria.

Gonzaga's new (2004) on campus arena seats 6,000. Then there is the Spokane arena. Lots of cities have multiple arenas. I'm pretty sure the Denver Coliseum seats over 10k for most events.

Ha, not really, I was just surprised that a city of that size had two arenas.

I mean here's a question does Gonzaga's arena host community events or is it just for university functions for the most part? Would the NBA schedule a preseason game there for example? Would Justin Timberlake perform there?

What community events does Denver Coliseum have?

I believe state volleyball tournament is held there every year
State basketball tournament games are there too. I believe all 5A elite 8 games have been there the last couple years. Stock Show. Monster Truck rally's. Minor League Hockey. What exactly is a community event?

Just looked it up Denver Coliseum CAN seat over 10k for certain events. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denver_Coliseum).
I'd also consider Denver more major than Spokane.

Just things for the general public. Not conventions, private parties, etc

Yeah. He must have us beating Zona in the Pac-12 tourney championship.
Personally, I'd love to see us get a seed like this especially in the East bracket but keep in mind that Syracuse will be the likely 1 seed in that region and they have a huge following whenever they play in NYC. At least as a 3-seed we wouldn't run into them until the Elite 8 if we make it that far.

The automatic bid works by giving it to the top conference team, so us being 3-0 is better than them being 2-0. We're simply "better" because we played yesterday, they didn't.
The last thing I'm going to worry about is who we'd be slated to meet in the Elite 8. I'll happily cross that bridge if we come to it. House money at that point. I would concern myself with the Sweet 16 slated matchup, though. Getting into the "cut down the nets" game in the regional would be absolutely huge. I think that's the best group of playoff games weekend in sports -- even over the NFL divisional championship round.

I just love the first day of the tournament, there's nothing like it. The Sweet 16 is always a good barometer especially for a team like CU where it be chartered territory in recent memory.
