Anyone know a sports bar in Washington DC where we can watch the game on Friday night? I assume there will be several people that read this forum that will be at the alumni/class officer meetings this weekend. Anyone interested in getting a group together?
Or how about Wichita, KS? I'll definitely be out somewhere watching it.
Of course, a harder quest here would be, "Can you find a bar which would NOT have the capability to show this game?"
In past years when a game was webcast, Cornell took over a ballroom at the Marriott Wardman Park and brought in a couple projectors when a game was webcast on a Saturday night. This year, the CALC (Cornell alumni leaders) schedule (http://alumni.cornell.edu/calc/) doesn't show anything. I sent Cornell a note asking what plans they have. Friday night is set aside for informal class receptions and dinners with friends. I'm trying to recall how sports-bar-ish the hotel bars are, whether they have TVs or big TVs. I'd set something up informally (I'm bringing a projector for a class meeting) but I'm offsite at a reception. There are meeting rooms set up with projectors for Friday-Saturday presentations. Let's see if there's interest in Cornell's part and if the Big Red lumbering bear can make something happen over a day and a half.
[edit add:] I'll scope out the hotel bars when I get there Friday morning and report back on whether it would be a good place to drop by and game-watch there. And / or if Cornell makes any quick plans to support Cornell hockey in the presence of 800 alumni leaders and hangers-on, some of whom are young enough to have attended Cornell once ice hockey moved from Beebe Lake to Lynah. Me, just barely.
Join the Cornell Atlanta Alumni Association as we watch the Cornell men's hockey team take on Colgate at Lynah Rink. The game is scheduled for Friday, January 27 at 7:30 PM. We have invited the Colgate Club of Atlanta to join us.

SNAP Sports Bar has agreed to put tonight's game on in the back part of the bar. Address: 248 West 14th Street

I know this isn't the game that you are asking about, and I doubt that I will go because I can watch at home, but I received an email from the DC RPI Alumni Ass'n that the 2/3/12 RPI-Cornell game will be shown at the Crystal City Sports Pub in Arlington, VA. It's joint with the Cornell Alumni Ass'n.
Just checked at the hotel bar at the Marriott - they will be able to show the game tonight for any of you at the alumni meetings.
If I actually paid attention to the internet, I would've told you to come over to my house if there were no official gatherings.
