Or just say that they're the club locker rooms, and you get that one, uggg, I almost feel bad for those visiting teams

or we could designate them the mens and womens bear changing rooms...

I have to say, having had seats in both E and G, that each section gets off the beat as often as the other, but at least in section G we can see how the folks are doing it correctly in sections A and B and try to  correct ourselves... not our fault some people just don't have any rythm ::rolleyes::

Y'know, I don't think that's a mental image any of us needed.

It might be time to start thinking about consolidating some of the banners -- I'd like to see banners for NCAA second place finishes & Frozen Four appearances hanging as well.

And please fix the one broken banner hanging above section O.

Yes, but apparently not all of us have good hand-eye coordination.   ::uhoh::

Nonetheless, we grad students do try.  I have to understand that not all of us are born with great rhythm.

Ick.  I'd rather get rid of the NCAA Tournament banners and stick to Ivy, ECAC, and NCAA championships.  Maybe include Frozen Four appearances.

Would putting the band in C help the rhythm problems?  Or would the band stage a coup?  It would put them too close to the press box now, but if they're moving that to the west end, it might work.

That's not a bad idea at all.  I know more students would also appreciate being closer to the band.

I have never seen any rink that put the band at center ice.  Personally, I'd love it for the view of the game we'd get, but there's got to be some reason bands always get stuck in the corner... probably noise control.  Also, if the home bench does end up on the student side, it's possible we might have to refrain from playing Gary Glitter over timeouts due to the noise level if we're in C.

While I'll agree that with the 16 team tournament, a tourney appearance banner is a little much, this pales in comparison to banners at Colgate.  A friend and I made the trip up there for the first time this year and they have banners for everything imaginable, which still amounts to not very much.  If I recall they have one for ECAC final four and final five, 3rd place, all that stuff, and it still only covers the higest point in Starr.  Having not travelled extensively, is this the norm around the ECAC or is Colgate just "special"?

I really doubt Schafer would want the band right behind his bench if the bench is on the student side.

Yea, I've been thinking that too. A team with Cornell's history doesn't need to hang a banner everytime we play in the NCAA tournament.

Perhaps, but I think it should still be noted within the rink, like keeping the NCAA Tournament listing on the wall.

Colgate is special.  They are better than Crest.  Just brushed my teeth with Colgate.  Ahhh.

It's funny that these renovations will begin one year after Cornell got shipped to a regional on the opponent's home ice. If I'm not mistaken, since the switch to 4 regionals from 2, the seating minimun was lowered to 4,000. These renovations will push the capacity to ~4,300.

No that I'm a fan of home ice regionals, but any chance Cornell starts bidding for a lynah regional now (however unlikely it is that the NCAA would award it)? [/q]
The capacity of those recently awarded in the East is 8,000+, so I doubt it.
