Atlantic City Roll Call

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

My opinions on AC after showing up last year...

Can you print out a bunch of those?  We can use them instead of newspapers for the intros.

Boston (7 titles / 31 seasons)
Lake Placid (2 / 10)
Albany (3 /
Atlantic City (0 / 1)

Yet another reason for holding it in Albany.::whistle::

If the Onion and RIP "fans" could travel five miles it would still be there.  And there will likely be no more Albany regionals.  Though that might be better for some reading this as it looks like Bridgeport wins because of the Albany apathy.  Not really better for ECAC fans as a whole.

If either school had ever made to Albany.

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.

According to the following link Atlantic City games will be on CBS College Sports Network.

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.

Internet only in 2012.

Hagwell confessed true disappointment that the final weekend of the league's season would go un-broadcast, leaving ECAC Hockey as the only Division I league without a TV partnership for its title game.

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.

What you two do in the privacy of your own home is none of our business.

Taughannock Aviation is offering a private Jet Charter to Cornell Hockey Fans Departing Friday and returning after Saturday's games.  The Flight will be in a 9 seat Private Jet, Travel time is less than 45 minutes in each direction, there are still some seats available.  Contact johnp@flytac.com for price and availability.

I'll be there +2 fellow mid-70's alumni for Friday/Saturday games.

My youngest son would normally tag along but this weekend is his high school play. I am doing a real schedule rhumba to get to all of the places I need to be on Saturday. As it is, I'll be hard pressed to get to AC by game time on Friday evening.

Unfortunately, medical school this year will inhibit me from attending on Friday.  However, there is a good chance I will come down for Saturday's games.

We also need to double around for a quick stop at Matthews.  The first 4 were held there but we never made it.  That (plus AC) would give us at least one title in every building it's ever been held at.

[Josh '99]

Can't get there on Friday, but will probably make the trip down Saturday if Cornell is in the championship game.

Does anyone know where there's convenient free parking?  I recall self-parking for free at Trump Plaza last year, but that appears to have been a limited-time promotion running last March rather than an ongoing state of operation.  I suppose if I decide to drive I might suck up the $5 fee and park there again anyway, since it's extremely easy to get to from the expressway and very close to the Boardwalk Hall.

[BMac]

I'd love to do it in Matthews, but I'm afraid like it would give HEA fans a(nother) reason to look down on us. They play at the Garden and we play in their backyard?

Wish I could make it to AC... will be in Nassau, trying desperately to stream the game and holding a mai tai.

[Greenberg '97]

Driving down Friday... three adults and two kids.

Last year, we only came for the Championship game, so maybe someone can answer one or both of these questions...

Are they allowing exit/re-entry between games?

What is the child admission policy?  I assume I don't have to buy a ticket for my 1-year-old (lousy Carrier Dome), but what about my three-year-old?  Both can sit on laps.

And I know I can call the ticket office, but often enough, real-world policy differs from official policy.

Oh, and slightly off topic, but Harvard sucks.

Here's Boardwalk Hall's guest policies page. As it states, there is no re-entry. On the question of tickets for small children, it says, under 'Tickets:': "Please note that no person will be admitted into Boardwalk Hall without holding a valid ticket to the event.

Thanks.  Your post would have been useful had I graduated from Cornell without the basic ability to navigate websites.  I was wondering if anyone had any real life experience from how things were done last year (for example, I know some venues that typically do not allow re-entry have allowed it for multiple-game events).

I can also personally attest that I paid for neither child last year and the ticket-taker didn't even blink.

I apologize for not giving you enough credit and not reading your original post closely enough.

Last year, I was inside the arena for all four games, so I didn't actually attempt to re-enter. But I don't recall there being any hand stamping or similar system to mark people who would have previously entered the arena but subsequently left, so I just presumed the rule would be enforced.
