Cornell @ Princeton 11/18/23

A day before the game, Princeton declared a sellout at the Hobey. That means there'll only be ~300-400 empty seats of 2,000. They leave beaucoup space for student - faculty walk-ins with ID cards and they overestimate.

[Iceberg]

Seated tickets have been gone for some time. I know my local alumni association bought a block early on and that sold out quickly. I'll be at the game and I fully expect there to be a ton of Cornell people. Great to have it be the last game before MSG, too

Seats for the visiting team are typically in the Princeton balcony. In the past 3 decades, I've gotten tickets blocks with the Cornell club a couple times, always balcony, and once as visitor tickets, also balcony, we've gotten standing room tickets night-of-game until 5 years ago, now bought standing room a week in advance, and always found empty seats behind the Cornell bench and certainly between the blue lines.

My tickets are not in the balcony this year, so they definitely have been offering visitor groups tickets in other areas of the rink. The Cornell band is also at Q tonight so I'd expect them to be at the balcony at Princeton tomorrow. Heck, there may even be two bands tomorrow. Princeton football is at Penn but I don't know how much Princeton's band travels and that game will be over well before the start of the hockey game so it's not like they couldn't do both.

Per WHCU pre-game: Schafer ill, Syer coaching; Bancroft out ("banged up"), Catalano in; Mosko out, Mack in ("we wanted to get an extra forward in the lineup" per Syer), Keopple in goal.

[Trotsky]

I can imagine 8 goals against making Mike sick.

Bancroft out "banged up"

was curious about the smiley here because i didn't see the game yesterday. if the smiley disappears with the deleted punctuation, that would make sense. if not, what do you mean?

I typed a right parenthesis.

[Trotsky]

Quote paren ") is a really dumb smiley code.  I hit it all the time.

I think regardless of this game's result we see Koepple tomorrow

The "sell out" looks about 70% full.

It's definitely full. Many folks are standing against the walls. Where I'm sitting feels a bit like Lynah South minus the few Princeton folks who seem to personally know the PU goaltender

The "sell out" looks about 70% full.

Maybe it has to do with Princeton's legacy in quantum mechanics or applied math

[ugarte]

1-1 after 2 with a minute left of power play for the good guys to start the third. This team does not seem much like the one that started the season in red.

[HeafDog]

This is probably the smallest CU contingent I've seen at Baker Arena in a very long time. At least several years, if not a decade or more.
