Looks like the Carrier Dome has a policy that all people, regardless of age, require a ticket. Paying $74 for a 17-month old might be the dealbreaker for me. Shame.

You'd also have to bring your 17-month-old to a game that starts at 10pm. (Not sure if that was covered elsewhere.)Greenberg '97

For some reason, that part doesn't bother me as much. It does bother my wife a bit. Maybe we'll just stick to hockey.

Me +1 at least, if not more. Driving from NYC. Have space in my car if anyone needs a lift. Will continue from there to Albany for hockey on Friday. Itinerary after that depends on what happens on the court and on the ice, but will stay as long as the teams do.

Is this thread for the hockey regional or the basketball regional? Basketball, I assume, since it's in Other Sports?

Basketball. There's a separate roll call on the Hockey forum.

yeah, but basketball fans (and coaches) didn't spend the last 40 years whining and complaining about being sent to a different regional. (But we had good reason to complain! Yeah, but it was still whining.)sockralex

reposting this from the basketball forum from former basketball player Khaliq Gant:
Hey Everyone,
I'm Khaliq Gant, a proud alumni of Cornell Basketball and I was reaching out because Jason Battle, Conor Mullen and I are trying to organize a bus up to Syracuse for the game. We are having trouble filling the bus to capacity and I figured this would be a good place to reach out to. The cost per person if we fill it would be $40 and it would leave Penn Station around 330 PM and would return right after the game so those who need to make it to work the next day it can. Please reach out via this board or my email kjg27@cornell.edu or Jason Battle's (jasonbattle12@gmail.com) I apologize to those who aren't in NYC but please spread the word as we want to fill the gym and have a full and excited student/alumni section. We are looking for 25-30 more people.
Go Red!

Nice Khaliq! I am forwarding this to some NY friends of mine that I think might be very interested.
Roll call wise, I will be there, driving from DC!

That's great that they're trying to get a bus trip together, but 3:30 seems a bit late to be departing the city. Leaves little room for error.

On Wednesday single session tickets will be available for $74 since there are more than 9000 tickets available, so much for Kentucky buying up all the tickets

Cornell oughtta give Khaliq a bus. Wasn't it his hospital stay where Jeff Foote's mom worked that got Foote thinking about Cornell? We've heard the Louis Dale-couldn't-find-a-home story a couple times (not bored of it yet) but this is an important piece of the puzzle, too.
Two (three?) years ago when Marist made the NCAAs in women's hoops, the school chartered and subsidized a plane for however many students fit.

Yeah Khaliq's hospital stay got Foote to come here. You are right they should have a bus going from Ithaca and one from NYC but my guess is they are just so overloaded with all of the media requests and tickets requests they havent had the time.
In case anyone didnt notice:
When: March 24, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
What: The team, coaches, cheerleaders, band, and Big Red bear will make appearances between 6:45 and 7:15!
Where: Sheraton Hotel on the Syracuse University campus.
Cost: None! We'll have heavy appetizers, with a cash bar available
< Register for the Wednesday Reception with the Big Red Basketball team >
When: Thursday, March 25, 5:30– 7:00 p.m.
What: Warm-up party with cheerleaders, the band, and hundreds of Big Red fans! Andy Noel, director of athletics, will speak to the crowd around 6:30.
Where: Sheraton Hotel on the Syracuse University campus, just a short walk from the Carrier Dome – a perfect pre-game venue for ticketholders!
Cost: $20 for heavy appetizers and one beverage ticket.
< Register for the Thursday Pre-Game event...Let's Go Red! >
When: Thursday, March 25, 7:00 p.m. – Game Over
What: Viewing party with the Cornell Club of Central New York
Where: Kitty Hoynes Irish Pub and Restaurant (One of the shuttle bus stops is right outside the door of Kitty Hoynes! View details here.)

I did not win the Cornell ticket lottery. I just purchased my ticket by calling 1-800-867-2233. This is the Syracuse Ticketmaster phone number. For $80, I received a ticket in section 104. Online, Ticketmaster was offering me section 303. Therefore, I recommend calling to purchase tickets.
Does anyone know which sections are the Cornell sections?

if you only want thurs games you can get section 200 seats for $74 thats better than a 100 level.

I'm in the 300 level, but I expect enough people from the first game will leave at 10 PM to free up a bunch of seats in the lower levels.

A bus from NYC could be the province of alumni affairs. But they also dropped something like a dozen bodies last year to make budget and alumni affairs wasn't overstaffed vs. its peers. Stanford was reported to have cut more AA jobs in its rightsizing than Cornell has, total, in alumni affairs.

Tell me about it. It's been a headache dealing with all of the moving bodies and policy changes. But I keep on reminding myself that it is all the more reason to help Cornell.

I'm on for hoops Thursday, hockey Friday, let's see about Saturday and wouldn't it be great to have to choose?
I've posted my last slam dunk about Kentucky (unless something else really good surfaces) and from here on it, it's up to the players.
For tonight, I'm getting this Charge of the Light Brigade feeling. I had the same feeling before we faced off against Virginia last May. But let's give it the old college - no pouches of cash - college try. LGR!
