Lax: NC$$ Championship Weekend

RichH · May 24, 2010, 12:54:17 PM

Well, this morning, the situation was fixed, as in I could see an order button around 10:15. Unfortunately, I got yanked away for something something job related, so I wasn't able to actually place the order. Now, as of 12:50 ET, they are sold out. The CU athletics release says they sold out around 11 am.

Eh, it's a big stadium. Thanks for the phone # and info, FaithfulForever.

Aha. I only got as far as the timestamp, which was 5/23 at 7:23PM

The last time we were in Baltimore, I sat in my assigned (upstairs) seat for the first game, then moved downstairs for our game against Duke.

Last year in Foxboro, I never sat in my assigned seat. I simply sat in the Cornell section. Nobody cared.

Last time in Baltimore, we called for tix Friday and got the first row of the end zone, the perfect place to see that agonizing final Duke goal. You buy tix in the Cornell allotment from Cornell, you get to sit with Cornell people for sure, but you seem to get crappy seats. The same thing has happened for Quinnipiac and Harvard hockey.

Quote from: RichHLaxPower's bracket has the Cornell-ND game as being the late (6:30 pm) game.

Looks like laxpower had it wrong. As of late this morning, the bracket at the NCAA's web site has Cornell-Notre Dame as the 4 p.m. game.

In the past, we've purchased tickets by phone directly from the Ravens ticket office at M&T Bank Stadium (410-261-7283).

Was wondering if someone could help me out, I want to go to the game but dont have a ride there. I will pay for your tickets if you can give me a ride from Odenton, MD to the game. Odenton, MD is about a half hour drive from Baltimore, it is half way between Baltimore and Washington DC. PM if interested. Thanks

Along those same lines, if anybody is driving down to Baltimore from NYC, could you PM me? I am still considering between numerous transportation alternatives (renting a car, bus, getting a ride if possible, etc.), so if you have room for 2 in your car, I would very much be interested. My preference would be to go down there Saturday morning, but Friday night is doable as well.

Thanks!

If all else fails, why not just ride a bike to BWI and take the light rail?

Not according to the light rail schedules. On Monday the light rail will run on the holiday schedule: http://mta.maryland.gov/services/lightrail/schedule/

Just called the Maryland Transit Authority to confirm.

Odds are between now and then they'll have an outage. Or somebody will jump on the tracks. Or my favorite, the rails will get "too hot." I love the MARC.

Wow I really appreciate the help. Gotta love Cornell alumni. However, the train station in Odenton is for MARC not light rail. Light rail is running on the weekend but the MARC trains do not at least according to here http://mta.maryland.gov/services/marc/serviceinformation/Penn_May2010.pdf

Correct me though if I am wrong as I am not from MD

I took the light rail in '07 and was very impressed. Made the trip much easier.

This year, I'm looking into transit options for getting from the Philly area down to Baltimore. Does anyone driving have room for one more? The public transit options are much bleaker than I expected.
