The story said it was on account of the opponent being Sacred Heart. At Cornell games, I've seen Princeton fans drift in throughout the first period and first intermission. Hobey Baker Rink remains the ultimate prep school facility.Josh '99

Cornell wuz robbed. RPI, too, on account of there being no category for weirdest building now a hockey rink.

And for RPI, the building could have been an alternate location for some of the scenes in "Six Feet Under". That should qualify for an 11th category.

Whenever I went up to RPI, I kept thinking about how Ric Flair wrestled Terry Funk in an "I Quit" match there.

The Doors and the Dave Clark Five played concerts there, too. (Dave Clark five is not a hockey unit-

If you read the on line comments to the WSJ article, many of them mention the glaring omission of Lynah-- including a number that identify themselves as non-Cornellians.
