Well, duh. Cornell hockey isn't close to the most frivolous thing I spend a lot of time on.

I'm in [+8]. It isn't BU, and it isn't MSG, but hey, why the hell not (otherwise known as my family strong armed me).

Despite how dismayed I am by this thread, I actually decided to use it as motivation and showed it to a handful of alums who were on the fence. The general response was "Wow, those guys are WEEEEEEEEEEAK! I'm in!", and I was able to bump my group up a few.

So I am in, +12.

I had always put Cornell's hockey fandom on par with the most rabid supporters in this country...Ohio State football could play the University of Southeastern Missouri in the "Anchorage Bowl" in the middle of January, and their fans would fill the stadium; Duke basketball could play TC3 in a random HS gym in Montana and sell it out; yet we play a legit. college hockey program w some history and tradition in what is probably the nicest building in the NHL, 7 miles (and a 20 minute train ride) from downtown Manhattan, and we can't provide a good showing? Sad.

Late scheduling, a perceived price increase in the ~$20 range (you get what you pay for!!), and dissatisfaction with what is certainly a legitimate opponent for this (rebuilding) team are poor excuses. Hopefully, a late surge of interest will put some butts in the seats.

So you're offering to cover the change fees for those who would have to alter their airline itineraries to stay in town for the game?  I think that's wonderful.

They should get a ton of alums from the NYC area -- maybe not many from L.I., but there's a large Jersey contingent.  Hopefully, this will also be Kaylea's first Cornell hockey game (apparently she is betrothed to Brisson but he doesn't know it yet).

Being a rabid sports fan doesn't mean you have no reaction to prices. Otherwise you simply become a wallet for the team/program. If ticket prices are unaffordable you watch or listen from home.
