Memorial Day Weekend Lacrosse Ticket Strategies

[Chris H82]

I'm flying up Monday morning for the game. Three questions:

(1) What section? I'm thinking section 108 or 109 since it is more midfield and my understanding is Cornell section is 107....

(2) We fly back early Tuesday out of Logan. I would prefer to stay closer to Boston but I don't know the area. And cute towns worth between there and Foxborough? Anyplace to avoid?

(3) How is the merchandise they are selling at the stadium?

1 - yeah, it seems to be 107.
2 - no knowledge
3 - they are selling final four t-shirts for 40-50 bucks, with different background colors and emphasized logos for each school.

we avenged the one blemish on the year. the whole season was basically building to this matchup where we could avenge the loss from 2023, so ... here we go.

2022

I'd had preferred potentially avenging the 2009 loss instead. That was much more painful than 2022.

Bought Section 108 to be next to 107.  Fairly confident Cornell will still be in 107 on Monday. That's where Yale was in 2018 (as the higher seed), and no reason for Cornell to be changed when they're the highest seed in the tournament.

Can someone who bought the package in 107 confirm what your Monday tickets say?

This every couple years or a win vs Maryland?

Although we already seem to do the previous quite often.

Or better yet, another sweet 16 vs a Maryland win?

The NCAA probably has who-sits-where figured out a week in advance, they know which four teams play the following Saturday, say A vs D in Game 1, then B vs C in Game 2... then on Monday it's either A vs. C or A vs. D, else B vs. C or B vs. D. You think about if fans want to be closer in Q2 and Q4 to the zone they attack (I think that's what more prefer, and for TV's sake it's nicer-easier to pan upward from the goal scorer to celebrating fans) or defend, and they think a bit about if there any huge animosities between any two of the four teams. Maybe they think about who'll have the larger contingent on Monday and prefer to see them on the side opposite the stands.

Are you kidding?  I think they have it all figured out now--isn't the tournament fixed?  ::uptosomething::  (I mean the impish grin as a sarcasm indicator.)

Cornell will still be in 107. The Cornell block that was released for the tournament included both the semis and finals (with a caveat that the finals would be auto-refunded if Cornell did not advance).

Perfect, thank you.

On TV the Cornell block was easily visible as packed with red!

[imafrshmn]

For the life of me, i don't know why they use venues that are 2x bigger than necessary for the F4. The heydays of filling up stadia for the shindig are passed.

[upprdeck]

dont they just go by who bids the best deals for the games?

[ER]

Yeah and it seems Harvard is hosting since their logo was all over the field. I think they would have had enough space.

That's actually embarassing. Let's not play in an nfl or mlb stadium that we get a 30% attendance.
