Chag

This is a general haora about Succos and meseches Sucah
The Mishna calls Succos chag "bechag nidonin al hamayim". What is the inyan?
The maharl in Beer Hagola zeh leshono: "Shelach es ami Vyachogo li bamidbar" vedavar zeh hem hakarbanos, shehem chag lahashem, shecen lashon chag bekol makom .
From this maharal it comes out that Succos has a special relatioship to karbanos.
In fridays daf Rashi brings down that there is an inyan by succos of bal tacher, that it is by succos that you are over bal tacher. We see from here again a shaycus between Succos and Karbanos.
The reason we say Hallel each day is that they are chluk bekarbanosihem.
We also see by Lulav that even though it is a mitzvah from all klal yisroel still the mishna says that in the mikdash it was for 7 day( Based on the pasuk "vesamachtem lifnei hashem") and elsehere only 1 day . I dont recal another yom tov where we celebrate it differntly in the bais hamikdash. Again a shaychus between the mikdash, the makom of karbanos, and mitzahs lulav on succos.
Both Mikdash and Succah are bichnas kedushas hamakom.
Just some thoughts I hope they are in spirit with the new blog.

Your connection is clear from the gemara on 9a. Just like shem shamayim is chal on a korban chagigah, it is also chal on a succah - this is a din deoraysa (see tosafos). The connection between Korban Chagigah and Succah is from the pasuk of "Chag Hasucos" - rashi comments that "chag" is chagiga.

See also 45a - anyone who takes lulav and esrog is equivalent to building a mizbeiach and bringing a korban, as it says "Isru chag... ad karnos hamizbeiach".
