Just made my plane reservations to get to Ithaca....in September.

My family is just not good at this...  If it's hockey season, the wedding will inevitably be someplace else.  When we finally get an Ithaca wedding on the rotation, nope, not during hockey season!

(and yes, many of you know that *I* carry that gene, too!)

it'll probably be homecoming and you won't be able to get a hotel room.

[Beeeej]

Nah, Homecoming is mid-October this year.

Good.  Back to normal.

Homecoming in September meant a better chance at warmer weather. Cornell used Homecoming as a reunion for alumni < 10 years out. September wasn't so bad but this year, no home football until October.

It's October 17-19 this year, football vs. Lehigh. Sept. 18-20 in 2015. http://homecoming.cornell.edu/general-information.cfm

I just found out that Syracuse is having a "Frozen Dome Classic" at the Carrier Dome on 11/22.

Three games feature a Syracuse vs. Utica theme:
Syracuse Law Enforcement vs. Utica Law Enforcement
SUNY Oswego vs. Utica College (D3)
Syracuse Crunch vs. Utica Comets (AHL)

The organizers didn't think to set up something from the pool of Cornell, Colgate, Clarkson, SLU, RPI, Union, or RIT back in the orgainization phase to have a D1 game/tournament since they're already putting the ice down? Didn't have to be the Saturday, but maybe on the Friday or Sunday?  Or a Cornell-Syracuse women's game, since the two are scheduled 2 weeks later.

Do you really want to see the Syracuse Hockey Invitational Tournament recreated in an even worse venue than the OnCenter?

Yeah, it would have to be during the Main Event to get any kind of crowd. And now that I'm looking at photos of the rink going in, I'm having flashbacks to Ford Field's FF.

Yes, as many people, or more, than usually watch Syracuse basketball. They had no other time to play the games except Saturday.  They had to put the ice down, and remove it, in between other uses of the Dome. From what I know of the AHL owner, he would look anywhere to try to get fans into the seats.
