Quote from: Josh '99- And if you want to eat BBQ, don't go to Brother Jimmy's, it's really not very good. There's much better BBQ in the area, but I'm not going to tell you where because I don't want it to be too crowded in case I want to go there. :-}

Oh oh! Did we eat there like 2-3 weeks ago and is like, my favorite BBQ eating place?

Geez! Can't you even let me PM you???**]

From the world of minor disappointments becoming slightly less minor:

When I first, very belatedly, searched for tickets I was relieved to find a pair in the Cornell section (415, row C) but didn't buy them because I didn't know whether I'd end up going with more than one person. Three days later, there were no pairs of tickets left in the Cornell section. Oh well, Minor disappointment. I guess I'll just buy whatever is available. Bing! A pair is available in section 414, row D.

I got my tickets yesterday. On the face of the ticket, next to the section, it says "BU Fans". ::cuss::

I just checked yesterday for a single ticket in the CU sections, but no tickets were left. The BU sections still have seats availiable though. Has to be very close to a sell out.

When I purchased tickets back in September, I intentionally chose the BU Section. The remaining Cornell seats were in the corner of the 400's, 6 or 7 rows back. For the same price, BU-designated tickets were available at center ice in the 300's. It seemed like a no-brainer. Based on the fan distribution 2 years ago, I'd imagine there will be plenty of Cornell fans sitting in BU sections.

I'm a BU grad student right now (yeah, I know, but Edu Public Policy is not a common program) and there has been little to no publicity on campus for the event. At hockey games, there's maybe one announcement on the video screen before the puck drops. As well, I know several alums who went to the '07 game are electing to stay in Boston this year, and these were the equivalent of Section B fans when they were undergrads. That being said, I bought my tickets before graduation last year and will be in a Cornell student section screaming Screw BU with all my heart.

Being 2-6 and HE 1-5 might have something to do with lack of interest.

No tickets to be had through Ticketmaster for any section at any price.

There were lots of scalpers last time, and a fair number of fans with extras. Show up anyway.

Is Stout a good place for a (multi-) family meal before the game? Or is it likely to be very crowded & very loud & more of a bar atmosphere?

It was very crowded and very loud before the last one. Even in the more private area upstairs. I would probably look for someplace else.

You can't go wrong with Tad's Steaks.

I'm joking. Don't go to Tad's Steaks.

Seems I have multiple suggestion as to what *not* to go to... so in midtown Manhattan, that's 2 down, 13,781 to go.

For those who might be planning to go to this party, Ginger Man has a very good selection of beers, but (IMO) is not large enough to accommodate a crowd of the size an event spanning 10 years worth of graduating classes might potentially draw. It's significantly smaller than Stout, for example.
