Football stadium hockey: Shark-jumping 101

[French Rage]

I wouldn't wish a trip to NJ on my worst enemy.

I dunno.... a trip to Atlantic City may be desirable this March.....

But not to his worst enemy; he wants to be there.

Who says his worst enemy can't be a Cornell fan too?

So, you're saying that even if his worst enemy was a Cornell fan, he still wouldn't want him to go to Atlantic City?::dribble::

Could be renamed Regressive Field for the "occasion".  On to a Lake Erie series.

Okay, not a football field,but it seems like this will an annual event.

"Frozen Fenway"

I wonder if Cornell will get an invite to this after the "Red Hot Hockey" at MSG agreement with BU expires.

I'd kind of like it if BU and Cornell got around to playing in Agganis (and in Lynah again).

Based on the diagram the sight lines will be awful.

I missed NPR's "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" on Saturday, so I listened to the podcast this afternoon. The "Not My Job" guest was Henry Winkler, and he talks about "Jumping the Shark" and meeting the guys who coined the term. Definitely belongs in this thread. **]

The Fonz and shark jumping

I can tell you from having gone to Frozen Fenway #1 with BU/BC, the sight lines are absolutely horrible.  Hockey needs much steeper seats to be able to see.  Most people were watching the play on the jumbotron since you could only see the players from the waist or knee up depending on where you were.

And if we can't get that, why not continue our own event at MSG rather than playing "me, too" at Fenway?  Pull in a couple other red teams (Wisco will need some non-conference games soon!) and make it a 4-team tourney.

I like this idea.  I know a lot of the big western schools don't like coming east, but maybe the lure of a packed MSG (there are plenty of alumni of Big Ten schools in NYC) would be enough to sell the idea.

I like this idea in principle, but given that Cornell vs. BU sells out MSG, I wonder how much harder it would be for us to get tickets if there were four teams involved.  Not to mention the likelihood of a 1/3 empty arena for the finals.
