Seems like a bad idea to me, some people might just stay in there instead of going to the game.

It doesn't shut down at game time?

fastforward · January 23, 2025, 02:25:58 PM

There's supposed to be screens to watch the game if I'm reading it correctly
More room for us inside

You're just trolling, right? A bot with some sentient abilities took over your keyboard? No sane Cornell hockey fan would be out in the lobby when we're playing Harvard. It's, like, the same as summer 1968, you're in the Catskills and you say, Nah, that Woodstock thing is just another rock concert, so I'll stay on the highway and watch people abandon their cars.

You overestimate the people showing up to these games

I'm planning to roll up around exactly 6, mostly due to the bus LOL. If anyone else will be there, please give a shout, I'd genuinely love to meet some of y'all

This is at the very least going to result in a ton of people showing up late to the game and missing the whole fish toss

stereax · January 23, 2025, 03:08:00 PM

Also... is it against the spirit of the fish toss to pick up a plushie fish and not toss it? I really don't want to bean Sean Schmidt in the head, which is more likely than the fish making it to the ice...

That's reserved for Brett Nowak's head

opening a6 6pm is kind of interesting given the flow to seats. By the time you got in and tried to get food/drink its probably 630 at best.

But its athletics. If you want to try this event, at least give people time to peruse it.

I know plenty of people that go to the games that would rather get drunk in Newman than watch the game.
