Lake Placid ECAC Championship Tickets

[billhoward]

I believe Cornell will be shooting twice at the Zamboni end, that is to the left on the seating chart. That is, sections 10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17 going counterclockwise.

There is wording in the arena info says the home team gets to pick which bench (they are on the same side). The penalty box is opposite.

So if I wait until Friday to see if we win vs. Q will it be hard to get tix to final on Saturday?

There will be many tickets available from people who live in the Hamden area.

I can't imagine Lake Placid selling out, even if it's Cornell and Clarkson in the final.

I see now! I was misled by the fact that there were a couple of blue seats in Section 16 and by the Dartmouth/Quinnipiac situation. Well, we have tickets in the correct section, just not great seats. Should be fine, but if I'm feeling feisty later this afternoon I may call the box office to see if I can make a swap. I may be willing to play the "I'm old and easily confused by technology" card if it will help.

So if you're old, what am I?::dribble::

I was thinking the same thing, having listened to Cornell play Denver on the radio outside the U Halls.

I assume you mean the 1969 NCAA Championship game.

I hope you're talking about 1969 and not 1986, 'cause 86 wasn't that long ago, dammit!

1986 was over spring break, so he probably wouldn't have been outside a U-Hall.

I remember being in Vermont to ski, with my future wife/future ex-wife, and finding the scores both mornings in a newspaper. Stupid total goals series!

You sure that it was over spring break?  I have a distinct memory of my roommate and I staying up late on a thursday night, watching Letterman, driving overnight to Newark, flying to Denver, through Dallas, bullshitting our way into a fraternity house at the Colorado School of Mines, which actually was on spring break, so they had room for us, then seeing the two games, and flying back on Sunday and returning to Ithaca.  Could be wrong, but that's how I recall it.  Other than the result, a total blast of a weekend.  After period 1 of game 2, we felt great.

1969.  My freshman year, which makes me old, but not as old as some of you.::burnout::

I was pretty sure, but I just did some research. I guess only the second game was officially over spring break, as officially spring break started that Saturday at 1:10 PM.

Your story intrigues me, because it's almost word-for-word what several friends and I did -- flew out of Newark (People's Express), layover in Dallas (except the damn flight was late so we had to run to the other end of the airport to catch the Denver flight, which we made but our luggage didn't), and crashing at a frat at School of Mines.  Except that we were members of that frat at Cornell, which gave us an in. Pretty sure we toured Coors and sampled liberally on Saturday.

Yes, also People's Express, yes, also crazy transfer running for the plane in Dallas.  Also toured the Coors Brewery.  I recall a lady on the tour asking whether it was a Union shop (for you youngsters-Coors was, at that time, very aggressively not union).  I wasn't Greek, but my roommate Adam (a transfer from GW) was which is how we got into I think it was SAE?  There was a third guy with us whom I don't remember well.

So i must've gone home from Denver.  Long time.
