2025-26 Men's Schedule

—change in student/adolescent culture (kids want to stay in, smoke weed, play video games, browse their cell phones)

If you think today's student culture is more stoner than before, please time travel back to West Campus, 1981.

If anything, keeeds today are more emotionally healthy, more social, less alcoholic, and way less stoner, (at the cost of being bizarrely and terrifyingly prudish, closed minded, and judgmental AF).

I'm mostly comparing today's crowds to the recent height of Lynah atmosphere, the early-to-mid-2000s.

Tickets are cheap, I dont think selling them for $10 vs $20 makes a difference. Its not like lowering the price is going to bring in twice as many people.

$400 season tickets is a lot for most locals.

Ah yes. The local poors from down the hill. If only we had cake to eat.

Yawn. What is the point of this dumb post? You're welcome to face the reality of 2025 America, particularly in Ithaca and surrounding towns with low average family income. $400 is a lot for most people. Not everybody who attends the games is a Cornell grad with a white collar job. Why don't you ask some  townies if $400 is a meaningful amount to them? Which is a not a judgment, by the way, even though you seem to think it is.

The point seems to be that you have begun your seasonal bloviating.  How many townies have you talked to?  Ditto your dopey post about dope.  How the hell would any of us know the number of dopes that use weed?  At least some of your hockey posts make sense.::whistle::

His point was obviously not that I've begun my "seasonal blovating," it was that I hold an ignorant view of the townies attending Cornell hockey games. Somehow it's controversial to suggest there are a lot of people who aren't willing or able to pay $400 for season tickets?  

Also lol@calling it "dope," haven't heard that one in awhile. Marijuana is legal now, and it's more prevalent relative to alcohol than it was in the past couple decades. It really isn't that hard to know townies and students even if you are not yourself a townie or student. It's as simple as having friends, family, and acquaintances in these communities. Really not a difficult concept.

Anyway, my blovating isn't seasonal. I've been doing it all summer.

My point wasn't the blovating, it was that you're the living embodiment of the type of prick that goes to Cornell for 4 years and spends a lifetime looking down their nose at the very people that provided your education. Prices be damned, we all know the economy sucks. What people do with their entertainment dollars is no matter to you. $400 is the price of a TV or a couple of video games. Locals certainly can't be expected to afford such luxuries. Who do they think they are, the Kennedys?

This is a completely asinine post. You're calling me "the living embodiment of the type of prick that goes to Cornell for 4 years and spends a lifetime looking down their nose at the very people that provided your education" all because I said "$400 is a lot for most locals." You know absolutely nothing about my beliefs or how I view people. You're inferring all of this from a single forum post about $400 being a lot of money. Hey, buddy, guess what? $400 would be a lot of money for me and most of the people I know. So it's a quite rich of you to impute snobbery  here. You then launched into more nonsense about me judging people for spending their money a particular way when I said nothing of the sort nor have ever judged anybody for doing so.

I don't know if you're projecting or some rich Cornell kids wronged you at some point but you truly have no idea what you're talking about and, to hazard a guess, you never would have made this accusation against anyone else on the forum if they said the same thing. You don't like my other posts so you're using a benign comment to launch into an attack on my character. To be frank, it's extremely fucking stupid I even have to respond to this trash.

i think you should both shut the fuck up and stop finding reasons to yell at each other. 80% of the notifications i get from this fucking forum that there's something new is a lie.

[Weder]

For a lot of people, it's just a big time commitment. I have plenty of friends in Ithaca who are happy to go to a handful of games a season and keep track of how the team is doing, but they just have other things going on that don't make season tickets practical. It's too bad there aren't more opportunities for the men to play on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon -- that might give an attendance boost to some of the nonconference games.

Season tix are $209 for students. But yeah - it's a hassle to get to/from Lynah for games, especially with TCAT. Plus I can just pirate the games for free, if I wanted to, or catch them on ESPN. Especially post-pandemic, people just don't go out anymore. Younger people don't go out nearly as much as a generation ago. And season tickets effectively lock your plans in for months in advance, so unless you're Faithful enough to know you'll be there...

I dunno man that sounds like a ContextSDK  problem... ::whistle::

Harvard just released the remaining tickets for Lynah East this morning. Apparently, they weren't able to sell out the rink forcing fans to buy tickets to other games as well. Tickets are $50 a pop! Harvard has to make up the federal funding it lost.

[Iceberg]

It doesn't seem as if single ticket games at Princeton are on sale yet, unless I'm totally missing something

[Trotsky]

Isn't Princeton super weird, like they go from 0% sold to 100% sold but then you show up for a "sell out" and the building is 60% empty?
