Help! I don't know where to beat the basketball crowd and reserve a corner.

The Sports Depot is defunct, and basketball dominates all. Any suggestions for a Boston/Cambridge viewing location?

I've already called Mead Hall for their upstairs room, no dice.

[Jordan 04]

Wow, Ship of Fools closed. Sports Depot closed.

These places really went downhill once Cornell hockey fans started watching the games at home, huh?!?

[BMac]

HA! Solved!

I have reservations at the Regina Pizzeria (formerly the Sports Depot) for 9pm tomorrow.

Same room in the back where we saw the Bemidji game that didn't happen.

Please respond if you're coming so I can change the reservation as necessary...


Summary:

when: 9pm tomorrow (Friday, 3/23)
where: Regina Pizzeria,
353 Cambridge Street
Allston, MA
(617) 783-2300

Yeah, I was gonna say, I didn't think they'd get rid of all the TVs...

Just be glad you're not contemplating a place to watch in Kansas...with the KU sweet-16 tipoff 75 minutes after our faceoff.  ::help::

I no longer live in D.C., but for those of you who are in the area (from a Cornell Club of Washington email):

The #15 Cornell Men's Hockey Team returns to the NCAA this weekend with an exciting matchup against the #2 Michigan Wolverines in the Midwest Regional in Green Bay. Game time is Friday, March 23 at 9pm ET and the game will be televised on ESPNU. If Cornell wins they would play again on Saturday, March 24 at 9pm against the Ferris State/Denver.

Cornell will host a joint DC game watches with Michigan alumni at Buffalo Billiards in DC and Rock Bottom Brewery in Arlington. Buffalo Billiards will have the group in the Victorian Room (all the way to the left) reserved for the group beginning at 8:30. Rock Bottom Brewery is in the Ballston Commons Mall and will have at least a screen by the front bar dedicated to the game. Game watches will be held at same locations on Saturday night if the team wins on Friday.


Please RSVP to Josh Novikoff with the subject line "Hockey" to give us an idea of a head count (but an RSVP is not a prerequisite). All are welcome).
Cost: Free

But where will I go now when I really, really want food poisoning?

Please make sure to invite some Harvard fans. I am sure they will enjoy watching some NCAA hockey once they stop gloating over how they trounced us.:-D

Does anyone know if there's some kind of viewing event in NYC tomorrow?

Thanks.

Holy moly!  How did I not realize until now that I get WatchESPN (nee ESPN3) since the cable/internet provider at my temporary quarters is a participating ISP???  I had figured I wasn't eligible since it's not my name on the cable account.

Actually, WatchESPN and ESPN3 are distinct products, so you may want to double-check which one you have. Only Time Warner, Verizon and a couple other providers have WatchESPN, which lets you watch any ESPN channel. ESPN3 is what most other cable companies and ISPs have.

So, if the game is only on ESPNU and not also on ESPN3 -- I haven't checked -- you may be out of luck.

The game is on both ESPNU and ESPN3.com.

Ah, interesting.  I tried to go to ESPN3 and got redirected to WatchESPN, so I assumed that was just the new incarnation.  I guess it detected that my ISP (Cox) was WatchESPN enabled so it took me there instead.  It appears that WatchESPN gets you access to pretty much all of the ESPN channels all the time (ESPN, the deuce, ESPNU, ESPN3, etc).  I pulled up cheerleading on ESPNU this evening, so I'm fairly confident that I will get the game tomorrow.
