FYI, last year the Saturday afternoon semifinal games were Columbia vs. VA Tech and St. John's vs. Marist and attendance was 4,713.

Also tickets were $40 and $25 for different seating levels.

I couldn't find attendance information for Sunday afternoon but I would imagine it would be no more than 5k.

Quote from: LeprechaunI'm in the San Francisco area (actually in Redwood City), and am looking for someplace that'll have the game on. Does anybody know a place that will have the game, or know of a gathering?

HI RJC!

86-75 St. John's F

28 seconds left.  84-75.  St. John's ball after a Reeves charge.

Wittman had it stolen.  Easy 2 for STJ.  Battle misses jumper.  STJ rebound.  Reeves fouls.  82-75 STJ shooting 2.  Almost over...

Wittman steal.  Cornell TO.  About a minute left

1:38 to play 80-75 Johnnies STJ ball

76-70.  Foote tearing in up in the last few minutes.  Probably 4:something left.

6:43 left.  11 point game.  I think 73-62, I forgot the score though while typing this.

63-53 STJ.  Timeout Cornell

14:59 left in the game; St. John's 56 Cornell 50

Just tuned in to a fuzzy NY AM radio station.

QuoteCornell and Syracuse first met in 1920, and have played 93 times since, marking one of the oldest rivalries in college lacrosse. The two programs have won a combined 13 national championships.

I hate to make fun of our program like this, but isn't that like saying "Greg and Mike Maddux have won a combined 389 MLB games"?[/quote]
It's probably closer to Phil (318) and Joe (221) Niekro.  Three championships is nothing to sneeze at; Mike Maddux's 39 wins is.[/quote]

I like saying Ken Griffey Sr. and Jr. combined to hit 752 HR.  Percentage-wise, 152/752 is pretty close to 3/13.

While watching the Michigan-Notre Dame game, the cameras showed the Notre Dame penalty box and I saw someone in a white Cornell jersey in the first row behind the glass.  It's nice to have SOME representation at the Frozen Four.

Quote from: billhowardMitchel Field, where Cornell and Navy play Sat. 2/23, is said to have a permanent capacity of 6,000 and an expandable capacity of 12,000. Based on those who've seen Cornell play lacrosse on Long Island recently, is this enough to fit all the fans?

This game will not sell out.  It's not like last year's Hewlett HS game which had very low capacity.  Anybody should have no problem getting tickets at the door.

[quote Section A Banshee][quote Scersk '97][quote Chris '03][quote Doug '08]It seems that in general the Cornell fanbase is deteriorating.  [/quote]

I think it's called being a senior. After the point in your freshman year when you figure out all the cheers, it's strictly downhill from there.

Though I am disappointed that it seems there haven't been any real loud mouths in the band in a while.[/quote]

I think now it's difficult to be the one to man up and yell in open silence when there aren't any upperclassmen doing it already, especially if you're just learning the game.

And no one projects quite like Chris.[/quote]

Not gonna lie, there aren't many loud mouths in the band anymore.  But I would like to think that it is partially attributable to the tightening up of the rink staff over my four years here and particularly the pressure from athletics to keep the band - athletics' crowd representative at home and away events - as PG as possible.  

Another factor is the new design of Lynah with a platform over section A where rink staff members gather.  It seems like they are watching us more than the game.  Individuals (myself included) just don't want to be singled out, no matter how safe his/her comment may seem.  

Also, now that the visiting team's locker room is closer to section O, the visiting team doesn't gather outside near the bottom of section A before warm-ups and periods to listen to our insults anymore.
