I just confirmed with the Ice Oasis that it would be OK to watch in their restaurant on Saturday at 2:30 PST.

This is a "semi-public" gathering since the restaurant is a private club. The club is upstairs and the door to the upstairs can only be opened by someone with a membership card. You might need to find John Baldwin (an owner) or Aaron Gibby (a Cornell alum) to let you upstairs.

This is a great place to watch a game since it is all about hockey. Good food and drink at low prices too.

Call me on my cell at 650-279-5003 if you have problems getting in.

For the Los Angeles location listed above, please note the strict NO SPOILERS rule. According to the folks who took the trouble to arrange this viewing opportunity, the Grand Avenue Bar is showing the CU-CC game at 8:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday -- a six-hour tape delay -- which means that someone who goes to the location with knowledge of the outcome has the potential to ruin the experience for everyone. If CU wins on Saturday, the Grand Avenue Bar will show the regional final live at 2 p.m. PT on Sunday.

Hillel,
There's an error in your post for the NYC viewing. It's $25 per person per table, not $25 per table.

I'll offer up my house in the North Bay if there anyone else who lives up my way that doesn't want to (or can't, in my case) drive to Redwood City.  Unfortunately I can only promise the Saturday game.  Sunday, I will be on a plane to Birmingham at face-off.  :`(

An alum in Albany, NY has just opened his home as another private viewing site for Saturday.  I'll get the info to Hillel to add to the top message on this thread.

Is there anything confirmed for Uncle Joe's (the former Ithaca Sports Club/Bomb Shelter) in Ithaca?  There've been inquiries from area alums.

I just called Uncle Joe's, to try to confirm that they will be showing the game, so that Hillel could add it to the official list. Unfortunately the owner was not in, and won't be in until tomorrow afternoon. The person I spoke to said she was pretty sure they'd be showing the game, and then confirmed that with someone else.

I'll call again tomorrow afternoon, to get 100% confirmation, and will then send the info to Hillel.

Edit: I'm still watching the game in Syracuse, at Lucy's. Just trying to help out by calling Uncle Joe's.

I have a bit of a dilemma. I am halfway between NY and Philly. I have a feeling that NY will be louder and rowdier, which is what I am looking for. Anyone know what to expect at the Philly locatipn?

NY viewing location advantages:

More people
Louder
Rowdier

Philly viewing location advantages:

No annoying minimum ($25 in NY)
Easier to access from I-95
Afterwards you can walk two blocks to spit on Penn

Will anyone in Syracuse be watching the game in a location not affected by the Billy Joel concert?...I would rather not deal with all that.

I'm certain that a number of us (at least 3) will go to Wallaby's in Ames, Iowa to watch the game.  They have the sports pack with Altitude, etc., as that's the same place I watched the ECAC final last year.  I know that CAAAN group in Iowa was looking to drive to the game, but I will be not going this year (was there last year in Minny).

Edit:  I talked to Trent at Welch Ave Station in Campustown (similar to Collegetown) and they do have the appropriate station and can show it tomorrow so we'll be there instead of Wallaby's (bad memories from last week's loss)!
