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.

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.

Tell me you guys are long lost buddies who both didn't know the other guy was posting on this forum.

I stayed in Ithaca for the '86 Denver games and watched the tv broadcast. I remember during pregame the announcers didn't realize the mikes were hot and made comments about Schafer's weight and how he had been dipping into the bonbons too much. I also remember he took a bad hit and it looked like his arm wasn't attached to the rest of him right. He was okay but it was worrisome in the moment.

Wow not nice, though I bet opponents felt that bonbon weight when they were being checked into the boards. And of course we know now that the "dad bod" a la Patrick Mahomes is a winning physique.

Yes, Cornell attacks the Zamboni end twice. See the photo on the LP site of last year's championship game. Cornell in white is home, St. Lawrence is visiting. In this photo, the Zamboni end is to the right of the Cornell bench, or the left looking down from seats behind Cornell. Since we are the visitor, we attack twice toward the Zamboni end. That would be sections 18 close to the Cornell bench then running clockwise almost out to the far blue line.

As of Thursday night it shows virtually every seat sold, and the upper balcony with some tickets sold also. It would be nice if the game sells out but ... ah ... if there are more than 5,000 in the stands at any one time, that'd be amazing. No matter what your ticket says, after the first period starts, it's pretty much open seating.
