The article doesn't say anything about adult beverages.

I usually sneak in peanuts and cashews....but for the past two years they have sold beer, right?

I believe so.  Not excessively expensive either, if I recall correctly.

I think the following excerpt from the article is interesting:

"For sports events, beginning with this weekend's men's and women's Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference basketball tournament, the center is working with MAAC, schools and event officials to keep fans in separate locations inside the 17,500-seat arena.

Signs on the concourse level as well as in the box office area will direct fans to the appropriate sections so they can sit with other fans for that school."

People are coming in with reserved seats. If they are really going to direct people to sit with fans of their own school that means they are basically making official the fact that ushers are not going to care where you sit. I mean that's always been the case for the ECACs, but now they're taking it a step further.

I wonder how this will affect the people who MUST SIT IN THE SEATS THEY BOUGHT!!!! I wonder if they'll have a fit.

Don't we have a couple of games before Albany?  This sounds uncomfortably like the chatter on the NY Giants board before they played the Saints.  "What happens (not if we beat them, or lose to them) if we beat them real bad?"  Counting chickens is the main cause of eggs not hatching.

Counting chickens is the main cause of eggs not hatching.

Lack of incubation is probably a bigger cause.

The biggest cause:  breakfast.

And all along I thought it was the big bad WOOF!

Nothing in my post says Cornell will be playing in Albany. ::smashfreak::  

The part about the adult beverages similarly doesn't exclude arena beer.  But go ahead and try and bring in some tequila of your own.  Please be sure to leave a post on JSID about how that worked out for you.**]

Oy. I had that problem last year in Albany with a couple of Cornellian assholes.

I don't see why someone shouldn't be able to sit in the seats they bought. Just because we want them to move so we can stand, or what, doesn't mean they have to. Certainly the attitude that they were assholes for not doing it will instill good feelings.

No guns or hardstuff in MSG either, for those who aren't interested.  Cowboys Stadium I'm not too sure about.
