Return of the Great Wait! - Student Season Tickets

[Jim Hyla]

This is unquestionably a Good Thing for cornell hockey. Reward commitment, build camaraderie and anticipation, and give the players and student fans a chance to meet up.

This will only truly happen when the Barton Hall sleepover is resurrected.

George, I can't believe you're promoting sleeping indoors.

Whatever happen to lining up outdoors, overnight?

Those were the good old days.

I don't recall ever lining up outdoors before 4 am.  I enjoyed the Barton Hall community.  Where else can you play frisbee at 6 am?  Yes, those were the days!

Did you get tickets for 66-67? It was either then or maybe the previous season where we just started our own line the night before. Nothing like Barton was organized at that time. I don't know when Cornell actually took over the process. When I'm talking about we had our own sign in sheet to keep line orderly.

I can tell you that in 79-80 we lined up outside Barton and overnighted.  I remember it flurrying.  I was a sophomore, but I held a place in line for two seniors from my fraternity who showed up in the morning. 

In 81-82, they moved the overnight into the baseball practice facility.  However, the line formed before the doors opened.  It was raining heavily.  If you got a spot under the eaves of the building you stayed mostly dry.  If not...

Good times, indeed.
