CORNELL SECTION TICKETS HERE.

I just tried the password CORNELL24 and it worked, the section opened.

Happy searching.

St. Lawrence definitely helps attendance in Lake Placid. Clarkson a bit more.

The best possible ECAC-in-Placid turnout would be Cornell, Clarkson, St. Lawrence and, um, pick one, maybe RPI.  It is about 80 miles from Clarkson (+5 for St Lawrence) to Lake Placid but it is dark (well, yeah), twisty road that is not well-striped. Read: It's not that far but it's a bitch of drive home. With the clout of Congresswoman Stefanik in much of the Adirondacks, it's surprising there isn't funding for more highway improvements.

Any one have any idea what may be going on in rows G, H, I in Section 11? Those seats are blocked. They aren't blocked for the band, supposedly, because the band is supposed to be in Section 12.

Maybe player's family?

That's a great guess! Thanks!

I think I'll try to "crack" the very complicated password code for the other teams and see if similar seats are blocked in those sections.

Edit: Code cracked. All the team sections have those rows blocked. SLU has a few purchased already, which makes me think perhaps parents / player guests are also being given a code that opens up those seats. Took a shot at cracking those codes but failed.

We are now in official win and stay in mode. for the next 1 - 6 games.

In 2000, it was us, Clarkson, SLU, RPI, and Colgate, which seems just about optimal.  Unfortunately for the attendance, Clarkson lost to RPI in the play-in Thursday night.

I don't have the attendance numbers handy.

[Trotsky]

Just get into the rink, and figure it out from there.

This.  The weekend is going to be 90% Q and Cornell fans.  The Q fans are going to leave after their game to either celebrate or slink back to Toilet-on-the-Connecticut.

We will have a half empty building to ourselves.

Advice: if you come without tickets get there early because LP has yet to get their shit together at the walkup office, and the lines get long. You'll get in but you don't want to miss the whole first period.

Curious, doesn't SLU travel well?  Such a short drive?  I would hope they would. Can't wait for Friday night! LGR!!

if everyone in canton goes, they could fill as many as two sections

You're joking right? You all do realize that the 2 biggest draws in Lake Placid always have been SLU and Clarkson? It's actually not even close. I read the comment the other day about the "90% Q and Cornell fans" and chuckled. It's only an hour and a half from Canton to Lake Placid and, every time we play there, roughly half of the attendees are SLU fans. So, just letting you know, yes there will be plenty of SLU fans there.

This is simply not true.  I've been to every Lake Placid ECACs and the SLU presence is never significant.  They are great fans and they travel well, but their pool is just too small.  Every SLU fan is an outstanding fan, and Canton gives it everything they have, and I have spent many an evening and many a beer hanging out with them, but they do not have numbers.

Heavy: Cornell, Clarkson, extremely annoyingly Quinnipiac, once upon a time Vermont

Medium: Union, RPI

Small: Colgate, St. Lawrence, Dartmouth

Nearly Zero: Brown, Princeton, Yale even when they were good, Harvard

Clarkson lost to Cornell in that PIG.

I must have mixed together memories of 2000 and 2002.  Now that you mention it, I remember now that the 4th and 5th seeds got the same corner of the rink for the last two days of the tournament (since only one of them would still be there), and we ended up with annoyed Clarkson fans scattered throughout the Cornell section for the semis and consolation.  (2000 was the year of the double-OT loss to SLU and the abysmal shutout by Colgate in the consy.)

[Trotsky]

That's one of the dumbest things in Lake Placid, and I wish fans would just re-sort themselves.  Every year, there are X sections with y pockets and Y sections with x pockets, and it doesn't take Georg Cantor to figure out what to do.

Whew! I think that I would have remembered if RPI had ever been at LP for the ECAC tourney since it returned there. It this stage of my life, I am concerned about signs of old age.

I really don't mean to be rude, but if you actually think that Quinnipiac has a heavy travel presence in Lake Placid and that Union or RPI bring more fans than SLU then you just plain and simply do not know what you are talking about. I've been going to each and every ECAC tournament since the first go around in Lake Placid back in the 90's, the Atlantic City days, the Albany days etc and SLU and Clarkson and Cornell are the big draws to Lake Placid. Always have been. SLU has made it twice to Lake Placid (since its return) back in 2015 and 2016 and it was partisan, significantly partisan SLU fans compared to the other teams. There were even articles in the local papers commenting on "the significantly partisan SLU turnout" at the time. When SLU/Clarkson met in the Championship game back in 1999 it was a complete sellout (8,200) and about a 50/50 split between fans. It's always been this way and it's pretty much common knowledge (or so I thought it was) that the North Country teams are the big draws for Placid. That's why there have been numerous non-conference games played between SLU and Clarkson at Lake Placid. Not SLU or Clarkson vs Quinnipiac or Union or RPI, SLU vs. Clarkson because that is the big draw there. I don't know what else to say other than that.

The only other thing to add would be that if Quinnipiac is a heavy draw in Lake Placid (they are not) then why would they give SLU and Cornell Section 3 and Section 11? Which are the 2 biggest corner sections since they removed the top 3 rows in Sections 16 and 24 to add the standing platforms? Quinnipiac has sold a whopping 1 ... Yes 1 ticket in their fan section. We've sold more than half of our allotment already and that was with many fans giving up prior to the code being provided and just getting tickets scattered elsewhere throughout the rink.
