Opening in the North Country?  Yikes.

Well, it's certainly a much shorter trip than Grand Forks, anyway.

Urg. We couldn't find a non-conference opponent for this? Maybe we'll draw more than the couple dozen that showed up for the Cornell-Colgate game at Nassau Coliseum about 10 years ago.

The Prudential Center is a nicer facility than Madison Square Garden. It's convenient ... if you live in New Jersey. Just like MSG, there's a post office nearby. Lots of parking. The area immediately around the center is swarming with police so you have a positive experience. I recall seeing a couple restaurants nearby, some of them that actually stay open at night. (The Ironbound section has nice Portuguese restaurants but that's a 15-minute walk and a couple of the blocks won't feel safe.) Between the location and the opponent, it sounds as if something better fell through and Colgate got swapped in. Assuming this is a RS game, is it our home game we lose, or Colgate's home game? Or do we play three?

Between the Prudential Center ... the NJ Performing Arts Center ... and the medical / academic sector (NJIT, Rutgers-Newark, UMDNJ) ... the Newark Bears baseball field ... the Penn Station area and surrounding businesses ... a decent mayor (Cory Booker) ... Newark has a fighting chance to be a decent city in 10-plus years. It's just that each of these centers of urban near-excellence is a couple blocks from each other and it's going to take time for the rough spots between them to be pushed out.

Ya, Colgate is a lackluster opponent for the Thanksgiving game..... What about BU? Aren't we suppose to play them next season?

[ebilmes]

The only way I can see this benefitting Cornell from a hockey standpoint is if we count this as a Cornell home game, push the @Colgate game to a Tuesday, and schedule a quality NC opponent on the free weekend.

That, or if Colgate ends up as a TUC...

Maybe they had no choice?

Newark's come a long way since Cory Booker became mayor.  And the Rock has provided a ton of jobs both directly and by bringing people to local businesses.  As someone who attends around 15 Devils games per year, I never feel unsafe when I'm there for a game.  There's so many cops around outside the rink.  I always go to the bar at the Hilton (attached to the train station), so I don't really know any of the other places around, but there's a bunch of sports bars in the area too.

And unlike the Garden where there's not a good seat in the house, the sight lines are amazing there.

People from other schools are even talking about this over on USCHO.  I'll probably go since it's easily Amtrakable/Bolt Busable, but I'd still prefer to be at MSG every year alternating BU with another school, which is what Schafer wants as I overheard him figuring out with the NoDak coach when they'd next be able to come east since they're already committed through 2013.

When you reach for your wallet at the concession stands, you'll also feel as if you're in New York. Nothing is cheap. There is a Taste of Newark area that brings in some of the local foods e.g. Portuguese.
