Can anyone tell me why the venue for the ASU game is named the Oceanside Ice Arena?  Arizonans trying to be ironic?

Wikipedia says: Oceanside's original name was Big Skate to match the adjacent waterpark "Big Surf" and to match the never built tennis court "Big Serve" before it was changed to Oceanside sometime before opening to match the west coast theming of the sports complex.

So basically yes.

The next town over from us is Mountainside, New Jersey, max elevation 233 feet. We're at 492 feet in Watchung and I like to think the town fathers were embarrassed at anything under 1,000 feet being "Mountainside." So, yes, Oceanside is probably ironic. I always thought as a kid that irony was invented with my generation. Millenials, Gen Z, most likely felt the same way. Although Ben Franklin was good with irony.

(There is ticket exchange section here as well but it's been pretty quiet there, might be nobody would look.)

I don't have time to be an active poster on here these days, but I do try to check at least once a day to see if Ticket Exchange has any posts that need approval. Yes, the original poster should have done that instead, but I'm not gonna quibble.

Read Aristophanes sometime.

Nobody has invented anything cultural in over 2000 years.  Everything is either homage or theft.

As good a place as any to post this.  Matthew Stienburg on first year at Cornell. YouTube

It's at 7 MT, which is 2 hours later for us, or 9 EST.

The place holds 747 (or 751) depending on which AsU facilities site I checked.

Solid announcing by the ASU pair.
