Still not 100% decided, as Daina has to work Friday evening... We're about 99.9% to head down on Saturday if Cornell beats Harvard, of course.  We're probably about 20% to take Friday off and head down for the semis together - and if Daina doesn't take Friday off, I'm probably about 40% to head down Friday on my own.

Hang on, let me get my calculator to work out all these probabilities. I don't remember much from my statistics class.

The ECAC went to all that trouble to put the damn thing next door to me.  I'll be there.

Driving down on Friday +3.

I'm sure my daughters will enjoy the slots and strippers.  

I'm hoping we don't have the same sort of weekend we had last year in Erie for the women's frozen four.

Driving down Friday, with my fiancee, Kim.

Alas, I think we're now probably about 12% to take Friday off and head down for the semis together, and if Daina doesn't take Friday off, I'm probably about 24% to head down Friday on my own.  The ability to watch it on TV in a bar somewhere (despite March Madness in progress) does affect the odds.

This. And, after the game, to the poker table to double down on my misery or turn my joy into misery, depending.

Crodge2k and I will be there, showing a distinct lack of enthusiasm for being in Atlantic City, but our usual enthusiasm for Cornell hockey

Oops!!  Okay, back to the previous percentages.

I decided reluctantly to go. The combination of factors in favor of going were:

(1) The weather has been remarkably good, which means it may be even nicer there this year than yesteryear's balmy weather.
(2) The ECAC has effectively blacked-out the poorly-attended games from TV, a gambit that resulted in at least 2 extra tickets being sold. (Curses!) I can handle B2, but I think my dad would have a hard time figuring out how to get it to work, and then we'd be spending at least $36 on streaming of dubious quality given that the stream won't be coming from a TV feed.
(3) I was able to use points instead of FRNs to get lodging right in AC rather than having to drive 10 miles each way to and from Boardwalk Hall.
(4) My dad really wants to go.

So, we'll be there, hopefully in time for the early game on Friday.

Do we know for sure that it's $36?  I'm still hopeful that $9 is a day pass, in the same way that $9 got us all 4 quarterfinal games each night.
Let's Go RED!

Oops!!  Okay, back to the previous percentages.

Can you also integrate a KRACH calculation into your percentages, since they are dependent on outcomes?

I just don't want to flip comparisons with Daina.

2 days * 2 people * $9 = $36.
