Controversy

One month after the SEFCU Arena site was announced, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference announced that they would be moving their 2009 Men's and Women's Tournament from the Sovereign Bank Arena in Trenton, New Jersey to the Times Union Center in Albany to be played on the same weekend as the America East.
