Not to get too far ahead of things, but here is hoping that Cornell gets placed in Manchester, my home town, as projected by Adam and Jason.
CU fans will really like the facility.  Modern and all good seats. Matt Moulson is a bit of a legend in AHL history here in his days proceeding his college years.
Many good bars and pubs within walking distance of Arena. Not to be confused, until this year, it was Verizon Wireless Arena but SNHU (Southern NH University) recently
purchased naming rights but don't actually own the place,
I sure hope the experts are right about CU playing here. Traveled to Ithaca for Clarkson series and Lake Placid this weekend. A lot of miles.  So unless they are in Manch or Providence at worst it's TV for me. If it's Manchester, I'll be glad to answer any questions about the arena and city any of elynah mates have.

It's Manchester.  Against Lowell.

Sounds like a tough regional, but they were all going to be tough.  Since we're IN and relatively close to home, I say it's a good result.  Good luck to Cornell.

Couldn't have asked for better placement, personally - a game near Boston on my son's third birthday, during the day so he'll be awake! Stupid question: any way of knowing now what side of the arena should I be getting my tickets for?

Would it be possible to wait until after the game on Saturday to buy tickets for Sunday or will they be sold out by then?

Not the most ideal opponent since Lowell is a scary offensive team, but it's the NCAA and the best are going to be there.


Also, I imagine that first game will probably have the most attendance since Lowell also draws very well as I've seen first-hand.

In our experience, the regionals rarely sell out.  When Cornell beats Lowell, there will be plenty of tickets available for Sunday's game.

it wont even be 2/3 full on sunday if we make it that far but many tickets will be sold early and probably dumped after the first round.

really depends on whether you want to sit in cornell section or just be in the building.

they havent even started selling the upper ring yet. it holds 10000..

last year in albany with lowell in it they had 5000 for sat and 3000 for sunday...

the other regional with BC in sold 6700 for the first game and 4500 for the finals..

Was any rationale given for not leaving it with #6 vs. #11 and #5 vs. #12?  Why the flip?

Is there a section for Cornell?  We would like to be near the band.

always wonder why the School doesnt have ticket info ready to go.  hockey they knew we were in before today it was just a matter of where and that would have little to do with the school getting their tickets ready to go.

If history is any indication, you'll be able to sit near the Cornell section, no matter where your ticket says your seat is.
