Notes for Quinny game this weekend

[amerks127]

Definitely stop by B before the game starts.  We are always there before the players even take the ice for practice.  It's an impressive sight to compare an empty Lynah to a sold out one.

[quote CollegeHockeyAddict][quote krose][quote CollegeHockeyAddict][quote Will]Awesome.  I hope you enjoy your Lynah experience.  Where will you be sitting?[/quote]

Sec. G, Row 11, Seat 4[/quote]
In that case, I believe you will be standing.  :-D

Why? I'm just curious.[/quote]

The student sections (A-G, with the sad, sad exception of division with the existence of the "rich seats" in section C) are designated as "standing allowed and expected" and Section G is the interface between "standing" and "sitting," as it's a mix of generally grad students and townies.  In fact I've seen a seating chart used by ushers where there is a diagonal line drawn through Section G denoting the boundary.  My seats are in Section G, Row 10, Seats 20-21 and that's the sitting side of the line.  You're on the opposite side of the section, which is standing.

It's kind of a neat phenomenon to watch at the beginning of each intermission as the students sit to rest and the townie side rises to stretch (and vice versa as the teams return to the ice).

Another wish that you enjoy your Lynah experience, CollegeHockeyAddict.  Doors usually open an hour prior to game time.  It used to be that the student sections would be reasonably populated then for watching warm-ups and heckling, but recently it's just the band and a handful scattered about, and it's gotten to be that the student sections aren't even full for the lineups.  Getting there late has become a disappointing trend.  A great place to watch the band play their pre-game concert (and for that matter the entire student section and their antics) is the platform next to Section O.

Unfortunately, I'll only be able to make Friday's game.  Otherwise, I'm usually happy to meet other hockey addicts who take time to post here.  If you're in town for the night, head into collegetown (similar to Dinkytown) for some post-game nightlife.  Dunbar's is a favorite for the young, rabid hockey fans, and you'll also find a number of the slightly older crowd hoisting pints at the Chapter House.

Enjoy Lynah, you will have fun.  BTW Cornellians, You didn't tell him about the Hot Truck!!  ::doh::  Oh, the shame of it all!
Best,

Anyone care to open up the season in style this weekend?  I'm thinking of bringing my giant "SIEVE" sign out to A for its third hockey season.  People have been lamenting the decline in fan enthusiasm and interest in hockey of late, but we can try to turn it around.  For one, it seems to me that most underclassmen don't even know what elynah.com is.  Anyone want to quartercard spam the student section?

[CollegeHockeyAddict]

I am planning on getting to the game early so hopefully I will get a chance to meet some of you.

While I am still young enough to not have a proplem standing during the game I am curious if I'll have a problem getting into the arena with this ticket since I am definitely not a student.  I certainly don't want to buy this particular ticket (which I am planning on doing on Saturday before the game) if I am going to have a problem getting in.

Thanks for all the info everybody.

you won't have any trouble, Students are the only people allowed to purchase student tickets, but anyone can use one.

You will not have a problem.  Unlike some other schools you don't need student ID, etc. to use a student ticket--anyone can. I've seen kids bring their grandparents into the student section.

imafreshman,

Bring it! I'll be at A with the rest of my crew (lajolla posts here too).

I can't wait.

[quote RichH]with the sad, sad exception of division with the existence of the "rich seats" in section C)[/quote]"It is a small section, but there are those that love her."  Many of us in C stand unless someone behind us has a child or is elderly.  Corn nuggets suck.

Blasphemy

Tasty?  Sure.  Religion-inspiring?  No.  I stand with Josh.  I miss The Chariot for entirely different reasons.

To appease those I have offended, I'll let you know that The Pines now offers your precious corn nuggets.  It still doesn't beat a Pinesburger, rare, with Thousand.

Who knew it would only take to the 2nd week of the season for a hockey thread to devolve into a foodie thread?

Hot Truck isn't what it used to be, but it's still damn good at 1 am.

The Nines has carried them since the Chariot closed, too.

As does Mandler's Sausage here in Manhattan.
