Thanks for sharing, SFTT. According to the link you shared:
"The committee seeds the top 8 teams to host first- and second-round games. The top 3 seeds will receive byes into the second round. All other teams are unseeded and will be placed geographically, while keeping bracket integrity when possible."
Given that teams 9-29 are unseeded and placed geographically, Boulder, CO doesn't seem so bad. The next nearest-to-Stanford hosting location would be Evanston, IL, i.e. likely 1-seed Northwestern.
Given that choice, I'll take the Colorado option.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
