Not sure where but I just googled and seating capacity is 2222 which could make it difficult to get tickets

Hopefully there will be enough of us that anywhere we sit will have other Cornell fans.

I'm planning on going Friday night, and Sunday if necessary, but will stay in Ithaca for the women's NCAA game on Saturday. If their game was a 3:00 PM start instead of the 4:00 PM start I would have seriously considered making the drive and being a little late for the men's game. But I think as it stands I'd be looking at missing about half of the men's game if I left Lynah at the end of the women's game, and that would be for a standard length game.

Colgate goes on Spring Break Friday....tickets should be numerous as the Bahamas is more attractive than hockey to the student body.

I was going to ask where Colgate puts the visiting band but maybe I should ask what the band is doing (travelling back and forth, split band. ...?)

Being the parent of a recent Colgate graduate, the students there seem rather apathetic when it comes to attending sporting events. Even without spring break it likely wouldn't be too difficult to get tickets.

The Band has lately been in the corner between Section 13 + 14. Their band is in the 12-13 corner. Sec 13 is for Colgate students and the end that we usually defend in periods 1 & 3.

Most Cornell fans are in the Section 6-12 side. The Cornell bench is on that side and the Colgate townies and their bench is opposite.

I usually go with Sec 8 and stand. It's our offensive end for 1 & 3.

But there are Cornell fans throughout that side, as well as scattered everywhere.

Yeah, but somewhere along the line, "the Cornell game" for Colgate became something on the level of "the Harvard game" for us. Everyone needs a Hated Rival(tm) for the greek system to show up once a year, and we'll do.  (Playoffs are different)

Also, free pizza.

But will there be free gum?  We have almost exhausted our stash from the early December game there.

Not for eating, though.

I like that arena but it's been a tough place for this senior class.

Two wins this weekend and they can totally redeem themselves.

And get revenge for 2022, when Colgate came into Lynah for the quarter-finals series and prevented us from advancing to Lake Placid.

YES!  Current seniors were freshman in 2022.

Revenge is a dish best served........on cold ice!

Having to possibly buy pizza to entice students to attend for 3 whole games might bankrupt Colgate.

We have a moral imperative to win in 2, then.
