Lynah isnt Lynah already.

No place to really put it on campus and if it goes off campus it becomes even less of a thing.

if they had the money leave it. see if some scheme can redo the concrete and the seating.  reduce capacity about 10-15% if that works and remove 2 rows.

the problem being the townie side still sells pretty well.

SU just went thru this same issue but Lynah is even tighter.

The last renovation made a couple of related things worse: capacity now exceeds demand (although if the prices hadn't doubled in the last 20 years, that might be different), so you don't get a packed house (and can't be confident about selling extra tickets).  Plus, adding the extra rows (and boxes) up to the old outer wall means that moving between sections now means going out of the rink area and back in, where before you could still see the ice from behind the last row.

Does anyone have numbers on how often the attendance has exceeded the previous capacity of 3836?

Does the fact that all of the games are televised play some role in diminished attendance?

I'd say yes because the need to travel to see away games is gone.

Certainly.

Though we could always hear them and hockey is great on the radio if you have a good PBP person.

Shout out to Northeastern for taking it to BC yesterday.  Also Notre Dame loses to number 2 ranked MSU by a 1-0 score in Jeff Jackson's final game as head coach.

the reno did not have to mean the boxes had to end in a wall.  that was a design idea that was dumb.

It was dumb but don't those walls hold up the building?

[upprdeck]

sure but that doesnt mean they have to be solid walls.

This has definitely come up before, but is the deal with Lynah that they can't really renovate the seating area too much more without having to make massive changes to bring it into compliance with modern building codes?

[Give My Regards]

Dunno how interesting this is, and it's probably been covered somewhere else, but Minnesota State became the first team to clinch an NCAA bid (the CCHA auto-bid) last night.

The CCHA championship game isn't until Friday, but MSU's opponent in that game will be St. Thomas, which as part of their transition from D-III to D-I is ineligible for the D-I tournament until next year.  So, win or lose, the bid goes to MSU.

But if you've ever been in the new Lynah, or looked at pictures, you'll see that the extra seats, boxes or on the student side (such as where the band goes), occupy the old area that we used to be able to walk in. So those seats end up being higher than floor level. Even with open walls you couldn't see much, if anything, other than the backs of fans heads.

Watching Game 3 of the QF between Clarkson and Harvard this afternoon...

To recap the stakes for Cornell:

If Harvard, the 7 seed wins, they will face (1) Quinnipiac in the SF and (6) Cornell will get (5) Dartmouth...
If Clarkson wins, as 2 seed, Cornell will face Quinnipiac in the SF.

I assume Cornell/Dartmouth would be the late game (7) And Cornell/Q would be the early game (4).

Cornell women play at 5. Host Minnesota has the late game.

The hockey gods have made it clear: we must root for Harvard today.
