Cornell-Yale Lacrosse

Would like to see us create a new thread for each game. The Cornell lacrosse thread is getting way too long.

Strongly agree. Starting now.

I feel SPO much better.

Since this game is on ESPNNEWS, does that mean that it will not be available on ESPN+ ?

ESPN+ schedule shows the game at 1pm Saturday.

if its on espnnews then it stream anyway, which means more people can see it

before I had ESPN+, when I tried to stream ESPNNEWS, it wanted to verify that I received that channel through my cable company, which I don't, so I couldn't watch it.

And can return to watch it later in the year.

Anyone know details about Saturday's game?

Inside Lacrosse mentioned it was at noon, but the y'all web site says 1:00. I assume the latter is authoritative.

But what about parking? Traffic? Eating before or at the game?

The web site say it's selling tickets, although my browser seems unable to open the link. What about Cornell for tickets? Is there a Cornell section?

Reese Stadium holds 3,000 people. In games this year, it drew:
1274 UMass
1980 Villanova
0 Umass (that's what box score said)

As for Cornell this week and the odds we'll sell out the place: a) This is Yale's biggest game since Harvard-Yale lax is at Harvard, and Harvard sucks beyond the usual way, Harvard being 2-3 this year. (H's signature win so far, ah, they don't have one unless beating Providence or Hartford counts.) b) Yale is on vacation March 8-March 25 so if Yale students were what filled the stands, it'll be a little thin on attendance, I hope.

Reese Stadium is near Yale Bowl. I recall there being adequate parking at the field and nearby. Parking map and location relative to Yale Bowl etcetera: http://www.yalebulldogs.com/information/facilities/reese_stadium/Soccer_Parking_Map.pdf

The area around the Yale sports complex is aging-Connecticut-semi-suburban, so no spectacular food joints are nearby. The most common New Haven dining for visiting Cornellians is Pepe's Pizzeria, 157 Wooster Street, which runs 11 am - 10 pm and is a 10-15 minute drive from the field. Also, the close-in parking by Reese allows for tailgating. it will be 50 degrees and partly sunny, so tailgating is a good option.

Yale lacrosse site says it's 1 p.m. star. So does Cornell's. I wish it were noon. I'm going to Ithaca for the hockey games Friday and Saturday and planning a quick jaunt to New Haven for the lacrosse match. The last 2 at-Yale games ran 2:19, 2:12, so that means back on the road by 3:30 and the drive is 4:32 (legal speeds) / 255 miles, so one arrives at Lynah in time for the midpoint of period 2.

If anyone is interested in riding with me (or driving if you have a nicer vehicle), drop me a private message.

Going to Ithaca from someplace around south Jersey for a hockey best of three series and, between games, making a side round trip to New Haven for lacrosse???

You, sir, are a hero to me now. ::rock::::rock::::rock::

As much as I admire your dedication by driving from NJ up to Ithaca on Friday, then to New Haven and back to Ithaca on Saturday, I have to offer a dissenting opinion on your dining recommendation. Many Cornellians prefer dining at Modern Apizza at 874 State Street, which is also about a 15-minute ride from the Yale sports complex. Others, I'm sure, prefer Sally's Apizza, which is on the same block as Pepe's.
As for the attendance at the game, even with Yale on vacation there will be a big crowd. Connecticut has become a big lacrosse state. I know kids, for example, whose families attend the Lax Final Four every year. But even so, I'm sure tickets will be available at the gate, and there's plenty of standing room, too.

Those of us who grew up in New Haven know that there is only one place in town for apizza: Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana.

I've been meaning to try Modern. And I was waiting for your blast, or someone else's. I meant to see Pepe's, Modern and all the other fabulous places of New Haven. When I was in Chicago for the auto show last month, I endured two deep-dish pizza dinners. Now, good deep dish pizza can be really good. But our modern deity, since He's concerned about excess carbs, does not want his children heading down the wrong path.
