Depends whose "day" you mean by "our day."  In the early 60s it was a $25 CUAA coupon book that got a student into every sports event.

Well, in the early 60s we sucked.  Supply and demand.  Do we still just give free football tix to students?

I had a CUAA book 64-68. Harkness years when we SO did not suck.  Don't know how they handled overflow, I'm sure there were times when that happened.

Football was not included in the book if I recall corectly, but the coupon was good for a discount.  Might be time to resurrect the CUAA Book (which only students could buy) and do the same thing for hockey.

And yeah, give free football tix to students. Pizza too.

Was anyone else worried for the dogs' welfare, being so close to the band? I googled it, and anything above 85 decibels can damage a dog's hearing. In Section M the band was regularly at 87- 89 decibels pregame, according to an app on my phone. I have to think in Section A they would be significantly louder.

Could you tell if they got their "Service Dog" uniforms on FleaBay or were they the Amazon variety?

If students are going to the fit-rec center instead of Cornell basketball, hockey or football, that seems okay. Sportsing rather than watch others sportsing.

Maybe there needs to be stronger WiFi in Lynah, Bartels, etcetera so you're not bored waiting for the puck drop.

The lack of cell/wifi in lynah is amazing. Even on empty day its bad.

It is one of the best things about it.

The fact that back then one had to camp out overnight to get season tickets made them more valuable. Adding the value of one's time to the price made season tickets something that one would not want to waste. Moreover, if one had some other event, it was easy to find someone to take the ticket. So real attendance, as opposed to formal attendance (tickets sold), was never an issue.

not if you actually need to be on call when in the bldg or work there.

not being able to track out of town scores or watch replays or stream another event like a cornell BBALL game thats important.

I kinda wanna see more dogs in the front row.  Moreso if they run along the glass back and forth trying to get after the puck.

I took the attached photo between periods. Guessing those are legit service dogs in training, which makes my concern for their hearing even more of an issue, as a volunteer training a service dog should know better.

They do look like legit service dogs.  I agree that Section A isn't a good choice.
