We've had modest discussion of this on game threads, but... Em and I will be there, who else?
On another topic, I emailed Brown about parking and was told the visitor lot is closed on the weekends, and parking in the athletics lot is only allowed with a $7/day visitors pass.
So the only remaining official choice seems to be street parking... but I know I've parked in the athletics lot by Meehan for hockey games before. Is this just an unenforced rule, or was I told incorrectly? Anyone been to a lax game at Brown before and can comment?

We've usually parked in the lot by Meehan or on the street. Two years ago, in the rain, we drove into the area beside the lacrosse field from the street just north of Meehan and parked there. Not sure I understand from what you've posted above just which lots will be closed, but street parking is not a bad option. We're planning to get there before noon.

Alas, I will not be at the game as I will be in FL presenting research at a conference.
It's especially annoying since the stadium is a ten minute walk from my house as we moved to Providence last summer.

There's only one official visitors lot on the Brown campus, highlighted here:
[brown.edu]
I was told that's closed on the weekend and that all others require a visitor pass. I guess I'll look for street parking, and if its not available, just park in an athletic lot and hope I don't get a ticket, as I never have for Meehan.

Interesting. I've been parking in the Meehan for hockey, lacrosse, and wrestling for more than 35 years and never gave a second thought to getting a ticket--and have never gotten one.DeltaOne81

Excellent - exactly the kind of testimonial I was looking for. Al, your wisdom and experience comes through again (that's the polite way of saying it, right? )
Look forward to seeing you on Saturday! LGR!

One wonders if Brown sees an opportunity here to rake in a few extra $$$ given the presence of a #1-ranked team. Probably wise to get there early.
Latest weather.com outlook says "few showers" and high of 61F.

Interestingly, there are no quotes from anyone at Cornell.

Ego, ego... But for a hit post or two, that article might be about how the #1 Duke team has not been all that dominant this year.
Cornell will probably go undefeated for the regular season, but I wouldn't hang that championship banner just yet.

The Virginia and Hopkins teams that went undefeated suffered close calls just like Cornell has so far this year. I'm suggesting that the fact that Tierney doesn't view Cornell as "dominating" is silly. Cornell is dominating when you consider his examples. I never said the team is invincible.

Made it to Yale, Dartmouth, and I'll be at Brown, too.
I've always used street parking for athletic events at Brown. Never had a problem finding a spot somewhere in the neighborhood.

I'll probably be there. I'll be up in MA visiting my sister and her family for the weekend, but will probably sneak out for the game (weather permitting).
Never been to an event at Brown before. First time for everything.

Does anyone know of any good breakfast places on the way down to Providence (local diners, chains, etc)? I'm coming from metrowest so I'll head down 495 to 95. Breakfast out would be nice, but there are no IHOPs on the way, so I was thinking some place local would be nice, but I dunno how to find a list of excellent local breakfast places

I'll admit I haven't eaten at a lot of places off 495 but I did eat at this place and they did serve breakfast (during the afternoon too, which is always a good thing).
It's called the Golden Spoon in Hopkinton. It's right off 495 as well (Exit 21 towards Hopkinton center). I think you'll be on Main St. and the Golden Spoon should be located on that.

Or not, at least from a Mac. They are a CSTV school, but IIRC, the hockey broadcasts were streamed for free. There is a note that if they are playing on the "turf field", there will not be any audio.
Oh well. At least there are some sure bets in the world like the Detroit Lions being pathetic. Yes, they drafted yet another WR.
