FYI - No Reentry Policy

[Eric Hoffman]

Hi all,

I just phone the Pespi Arena. There will be a NO REENTRY policy for each session. :-( According the operator this is an ECAC policy not a Pepsi Arena policy. I find that strange since this wasn't the case at Placid.  However it is the same as the NCAA hockey events I've attended in Albany.

So if you were planning on getting some dinner after the Cornell game and catching the end of Harvard/Dartmouth, you'll have to rethink those plans.


Mmmmmm......steamed arena hot dogs. Nutrition.  On the bright side, the Pepsi arena has a Friendly's stand where you can get sundaes :-)

Might be a security measure.  It's easier to keep track of people if they only enter/leave the arena once.

They probably don't want people either giving their stubs away or reselling them. Just stamp our hands, why is that so difficult?

[Lisa McGill]

Are they allowing bags into the arena?  One could always smuggle in dinner if so.

Pepsi hasn't allowed reentry during hockey regionals.  I think it has to do with people swapping tickets.

To (maybe) answer my own question:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guests attending Pepsi Arena events are advised that bags, backpacks, luggage, coolers, parcels, briefcases, and like articles will be strictly prohibited from the facility.

All guests will be subject to search, at the Pepsi Arena's discretion, of their person and/or possessions (including women's handbags of normal size, which may be allowed entry after such search). Patrons with prohibited articles will be turned away at the entrances, and no storage or "check-in area" will be provided for such items.

Enforcement will be without exceptions. Pepsi Arena management is confident that these added precautions are prudent and will be welcomed and understood by our guests.

They better have some vegetarian arena food :-(

What are you supposed to do if you're bringing a baby or young children? ::rolleyes::

[atb9]

Insert joke about baby poop and biological warfare here

so cameras are ok?
not that i am going to munch on my digital, but i am curious.

if i remember correctly the prices are not too bad and the food is not horrible. i wanted to eat outside the arena, though, so this stinks

[judy]

stay and watch dartmouth and harvard!
one of your last chances to tell boucher (i hate that sob!!!!) what a big sieve he is.

[jtwcornell91]

I wonder if they would have let me in with my laptop to run NCAA Selection scenarios like I did last year.

Provide a helmet so that the child doesn't get beaned by a puck.  Bringing a baby to a hockey game qualifies as child abuse.

I don't really know what Stadium "no bags of any kind" policies mean.  Shea Stadium had that policy this past year, and you were always allowed to bring bags in so long as they were searched.  Would sure suck to show up a few minutes before game time with a bag, told it was strictly prohibited, and having to walk all the way back to the car.

Plastic grocery bags are usually a safer bet.  Their policy doesn't prohibit food (a pretty inhumane and illegal policy).  I worked for a baseball team a few summers ago and they tried to implement a policy where they wouldn't even let people bring their own bottles of water in, which was quickly done away with.  You can only be so much of a $$$monger before fans get too pissed off.

What Shea Stadium did you go to?  They made me check my backpack for $5 at a van in the parking lot.

On the other hand, when I had my friend's 8 year old son wear my backpack the next time, they didn't even check it.
