That’s blind to the realities. Other than Penn fans and possibly Princeton fans, Mohegan Sun is more convenient for the six other schools - that’s over 75% of the fans. Had Penn not made the tournament the Palestra would have seemed empty.
Also, it was freezing that weekend. Would have been much more welcoming and sociable to be able to stay inside and enjoy the restaurants, entertainment and Free parking Mohegan Sun has to offer.
The Ivy League cobbled together a series of out of the way, somewhat hidden spaces for fans of ‘visiting’ teams. The one I attended had maybe 40 attendees in lobby at the end of some labyrinthian journey. Some Ivy gathering. No mingling whatsoever. Finding parking was difficult and overpriced as well. Open your eyes to the reality of what really transpired. Except for Penn’s fans, it was a non-event.
