Harvard/Brown away weekend

[big red dog]

I was just wondering how many people go to Brown following the Hahvahd game?  A bunch of us want to make the trip and were also wondering what section Cornell fans usually take over...anybody have any other useful advice (where to stay, eat, party?) :-)

[Greg Berge]

We usually have a solid crowd for Brown.  Many Cornell alumni in Providence and eastern Conn make that game even if they miss Harvard.  Like Princeton, it's a good game for meeting much older fans (no wisecracks -- I mean for example fans who date from the Paul Patton era).

These games are huge this year.  I hope they're being over break but well past the holiday (1/9-10) actually drives attendence *up* with fans from all over the Boston-Philly corridor.

I'll definitely be at both games.  Is Brown selling out?  I haven't gotten tickets yet - intend to do so this week.

Let's Go RED!

yeah, does anyone know (if there are tickets remaining), where to get them (which section is the cornell section)? also, if people have the brown box office number, that'd be nice too. i'd go to brown after harvard, if it's not sold out

Getting tickets for Brown usually is not difficult.  A friend of mine called a few years to buy tickets over the phone and the woman laughed.  She said we didn't need to, just show up, there will be tickets available.  Now, this year the team does have potential.  So, there might be a little more demand.  So, wouldn't hurt to buy tickets in advance.  The number is on their athletic site.  We usually occupy the "far" side of the rink from the entrance.

Several of us bought tickets from the Cornell ticket office this weekend.  They were in Section P.

Is anyone traveling from CT?  I'd love to arrange a carpool if possible...

Thanks for the help everyone, anyone know where the faithful meet up after the games?

John Harvard's was the place to be in Cambridge last year (both before and after the game).

And here I was about to go to Jillians... :-P

What about the Cornell Club of Boston?  I know the Greater Hartford Cornell Club hosted a thingie at Anna Liffey's after the Yale game...

it is difficult to get a reservation at john harvards. last year it was all cornell beforehand. they take FOREVER to serve you...allow 2 hours at least, before you plan to be at the game (and it's a little bit of a walk too)

First off, everything is a little bit of a walk to Lynah East.  And was "it was all Cornell beforehand" supposed to be one of the reasons not to go?  There is a poetic justice to filling John Harvard's with Cornell fans that is certainly worth the wait (which I have never found to be a problem).  And don't worry about a reservation ( ::laugh:: ); it's a bar with plenty of places to stand and sing Davy while you wait.

no it was a reason TO go. they hassled us and i had already secured a reservation the day before by schmoozing with a manager. i was just warning people to get there very early. they are very slow to serve, are very busy, and you don't want to be late to the game, like we almost were last year.

I'm pretty sure we went around 5 or so last year and got a table with no trouble at all.
