Harvard Roll Call (2/15)

[McManus \'03]

I'll see yall at Brown and Harvard.

I've got Standing room tix for the Harvard game.  Anyone know how strict they are there about where people have to stand for that?

John Harvard's became the default gathering place because (1) beer (2) it was close to the rink (3) beer (4) it was close to the T (5) beer (6) the food was excellent (7) beer and ( there were tables big enough for large groups.  There may have been a ninth reason that I'm blanking on...

[gwm3]

I'm pretty sure you can stand just about anywhere behind the last row of seats, all the way around the rink.  I had standing room tickets two years ago, and we stood center ice, right behind the CU section (well, one of the CU sections ;-)  ).  I thought it was a great place to watch the game from, plus you don't have to worry about some 112 year old Harvard fan behind you asking you to sit down.

I will be at Brown Friday night but desperately need tickets for Harvard on Saturday.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to score last minute tickets?  Is it possible to get them at Bright the night of the game from scalpers?

Cabot, I don't know how early you're able to get to Cambridge,  but my advice:

Get there very early and be creative.  That's all I'm gonna say.  :-)

You could try getting to the rink at 3pm and hiding in the bathroom for 4 hours.  Might want to bring a book and a snack.

[Adam \'01]

Don't even need to hide.  Just hang something around your neck and "look official."  Might wear a tie and just act like you belong there.

To the bathroom?  EW!  ::yark::

You don't even need to hide in the b-room. Judy and I showed up a few hrs early 2 years ago, sat in the stands and remained inside through the game.  yup. who says harvard is full of bright minds?

[CowbellGuy]

There was a women's game in the afternoon 2 years ago. Don't know if they'll just let you in since nothing's going on this year.

[melissa]

ooops. yeah. forgot that part.

From this mornings Harvard Crimson sports section:

"Because as Harvard proved last year—when things looked much, much worse than they do now—there is life A.B. (After Beanpot).

That part of the puck calendar starts this weekend, with the Crimson's absolutely critical home series with an upstart Colgate (3-1 in its last four games) and rival Cornell, which is now two points ahead of Harvard atop the ECAC standings and—as always—might have a fan or two more than the Crimson this weekend at Bright Hockey Center."

At least this year they admit we're a rival.

also, last year, when we did try to walk in at 5:50 (with tickets) the guy at the door told us to come back in a few minutes.

[Lisa McGill]

We'll be Section 9, Row J, Seats 10-11 (with some others, thanks to Beaber who graciously did ticket duty).

In related news, has anyone checked on the Brown ticket situation?  Is buying at the door still safe, as it has been in past years?

[KateThe15Fan]

JDeafV and I have tickets in Section 14, Row G, Seats 11 and 12.  We also have a few other small assorted groups coming with us.

We already have tickets for Brown, so can't give you advice there.

Here's to a great weekend ahead!  Is it Friday yet?  Safe travels to everyone!
