MSG: Red Hot Hockey

[Jim Hyla]

I haven't gone to this game in years. From those who've gone, what's the chance I can bring in newspapers +/or Snickers?

I haven't seen anybody have an issue with newspapers. I'd be less confident about candy.

I don't think newspapers would be a problem, but you should check the MSG website to see what restrictions they may have about bringing in outside food.

I'm almost certain that outside food is officially prohibited. That being said I know that there have been times when my wife and I had done things in New York before the game that resulted in our having some outside food / leftovers / baked goods, and with them not in obvious spots in whatever purse or handbag my wife was carrying, these items were not confiscated. I think they are much more concerned with weapons when bag-checking, and are pretty relaxed with respect to a little food. All that being said, several bags of Snickers may be harder to conceal.

I've never had trouble with the newspapers I have brought to Red Hot Hockey.  My wife has had an 8-ounce clear plastic bottle of water confiscated from her fanny pack there.  We've never tried to bring in Snickers or anything comparable.

I'm going with son and friend and brother and my wife -  we could each put a ziplock of Snickers in pockets and meet up with you inside ?

Apparently this is a tradition that started after I left.  What's the deal with the snickers?

1: I always give them to the band, home or away.

2: For 20 years, or so, in the second intermission I've thrown them to fans at the away games I attend. I used to throw them at Sec B fans at home games, but then CU made me stop.:`-(

Last year Harvard made me stop at their rink. So we'll see what happens this year.

Is the rationale for this that by giving candy away you lower for-profit sales at the licensed stands?

After all, I assume you're throwing out wrapped Snicker bars that almost certainly have not been tampered with. What other reason could they have?

Yes, what possible reason could they have for not wanting someone to throw small, solid projectiles into the stands?

Not saying I agree with their stance, but it's not at all crazy.

CU allows penalty box officials to throw candy from the ice, but not me. So what does that mean? I have no idea.

Think like a lawyer. Their insurance can indemnify their own employees if something happens. If you injure someone, Cornell could be on the hook for letting you do it and uninsured for it.

As the expression goes...

So ping-pong balls would be OK; golf balls, not so much. And what if he just passed the Snickers bag around? Oh wait, diabetes and obesity, of course.

Don't forget about the potential for someone with a peanut allergy.
