FYI - No Reentry Policy

[jy3]

of course i am going to stay for the other games but grabbing something quick outside of the arena rocks. :-)

Josh, the reason Shea Stadium has that lax policy is because it would be a public service to put the Mets out of their misery! :-P Two words: Junior Varsity.

I hope you're kidding.

According to the arena web site, they are running the "Fan Fest" outside the rink just like they did for the Frozen Four.  That's nice, but it doesn't make as much sense to have activities going on all day outside when reentry isn't allowed.   ::screwy::

As long as we can still bring in Coke  ;-)

The link to the FanFest event schedule:

Basically, 1:30 to 11, there will be things going on.

Anybody have the scoop on CHA events or Cornell Club of Capital District events?  

Any decisions on bars?

Why is it not Friday yet?

[CUlater]

Also, if anyone is going to be there Thursday, there are open practices to see (Cornell is at 4 p.m.)

Oh and from the same site:

March 21-22
The Hockey Fan Festival 2003 will be located at South Pearl Street, in front of the Pepsi Arena. The Fan Festival will be the place to be for college hockey's national semi-finals and national championship games. South Pearl Street will be closed down and become home to interactive games, music bands, and other fun activities for fans and families. The Empire State Plaza will host Friday night's Pep rally and Fireworks Show.

Somebody is stuck in 2001.

CHA is based at the Best Western on Wolf Rd, will have a hospitality room at the motel, going to start about noon on Friday....

[q]Any decisions on bars?[/q]

Well, if you're looking for an executive decision, I'll make one.  I still think that, in the absence of a really good no-carding option (which there doesn't appear to be), Big House Brewing Company a few blocks down is our best shot.  Or, we can just go hang out at the CHA headquarters at the Best Western.

BHBC is packed to the max on week-ends ... and i'm not sure about it being the best place for a large obnoxious group  .... but the food is good and the atmosphere is fun so people should definitely try to make it there for lunch or something at some point. I'm really going to try and make a point of scoping out Perl St. tonite (I know that I said that yesterday and failed but that is only cause I got busy stocking up on supplies for the week-end).

I've answered my own question on the Capital District club gathering:

Here's the reception info (as much of it as I have...). It's going to be between the two games on Saturday and the set location was slated to be on the mezzanine in the windowed area at the entrance to sections 109 and 110 but the location might change.  We'll try to let people know and there should be signs and whatnot.  It's free and there'll be minimal food so it's much more about Cornell spirit than food.  Soda and water will be sold there.  Anyone is welcome to join us.  The Pep band is scheduled to play at some point as well.

No as a matter of fact I wasn't kidding.  Unless the baby has his head protected it is very foolish.

One of my friends spent a few hours in the emergency room after a puck incident with the pre-teen friend of her daughter.  If it had been a baby they would not have needed an emergency room.  They would have needed a coroner.

Every time I see a baby at a game I try to look the other way.:-/

[Jim Hyla]

Actually I felt better when I took my newborn to the games than when I now take my 8 year old. When I was holding my baby, I was also paying attention to the game, and the puck. I cannot say the same about my, now current, 8 year old. I watch the game while trying to also take note of what she is doing and if she is paying attention. Let me tell you guarding the baby was alot easier. ::help::

Did they need to specify MUSIC bands?  Did they think we'd expect bands of roving hooligans or something?

Oh, wait, WE'RE the band of roving hooligans.  :-D
