I wasn't that impressed with Washington in 2013, Indiana and SU were just about the only fans in the building. Didn't seem like as many locals as Boston the previous year, and only a few dozen Miami fans (that's a Miami problem, not a D.C. problem). But it's cheap and convenient to get there and Chinatown's a better location than most cities have, so it's a good fan experience. A good atmosphere is probably more dependent on the matchups than it would be in some other Northeastern cities because of all the transient types in town.

Good call, I didn't realize it'd been so long since Charlotte got a regional (2008). Guess the NCAA knows something I don't. Probably your idea about the subregional and local teams.

Anyway, I'd advocate for more regionals in college towns. Apparently 2002 is the last team a majority of regionals were held in college arenas (Syracuse, Madison, Lexington). We've probably seen the last of those days, but I think it adds something to the tournament.
