I'm sure this has been answered multiple times, but are the remaining Section C seats still for the people from before?  Or is it now a student section?  I had heard it would become a student section.

[quote redhair34]The hallway behind the "premium box seats" reminds me of a hallway at Appleton.[/quote]

Does that mean we also get the sweater-wearing ushers?

[q]Wait, wait... they're putting the p-box on the visitors side? Isn't half the point of separating the benches supposed to be to make *your* bench closer to the p-box so you can switch quicker when a guy comes out? Ala Bright.[/q]

Don't get your panties in a bunch, penalty boxes will be on both sides.;-)

Really.  I didn't know that configuration was possible.  It's certainly much fairer than what they have e.g. at Cheel and Appleton.

Of course, I still sort of miss the days when we had one big penalty box with players from both teams in it and one poor off-ice offical to keep them separated.

the even better scenario is the one at Cass Park (it's in ithaca for all you cornell people who never get off the hill). One penalty Box. Very small. forces the players to either get along or kill eachother

I miss the "Reserved: Dufresne" written on the bench in the old old penalty box.

I called the ticket office and spoke with a minion named Scott, since Gene is on vacation until next Monday.  According to Scott, if you are one of the unlucky ones whose seat was vaporized, you will simply be moved up to the old press row.  Thus, everyone who used to have a seat in C still does.  Yippee.  Gene is supposed to contact all of us concerned as soon as he "finalizes the plan."  I'm not really sure what that means -- it seems pretty final as it is, but anyway we won't be hearing from him until he gets back from his vacation.  The ticket office number is 607-254-2327.

It sounds like they were nice and rational, so I take back everything mean I ever said about the AD.

Here's what I know about what's been brought up on this thread....

The "premium" seats on the walkway are premium because they have a back. There will be one row of seats, not two, and the "walkway" will not be used as a walkway, but only to access seats if you are a ticket holder for those seats. In other words, the rest of us can't use it as a through-way for that end of the rink.

The Journal was wrong about the penalty boxes--our pb will be next to our bench, the visitors pb will be on the opposite side, but located so that the scorer's/announcers booth will be between the visitor pb and the visitor bench. Our pb will be directly next to our bench, rationale being it will take the visitors 3 steps or so to get back to their bench while we just have to hop into ours.

The idea of section C reverting to a student section seems to have been abandoned.

The 'steps' coming down from the new locker room to the tunnel are some kind of broad specialty (hockey)steps, and not like the steeper narrower ones in your home stairwell.

The CHA is gearing up to run the Red/White game on 10/13 as scheduled, will be our first chance to look at Lynah with the team on the ice, so plan to attend!

Well...let's not do anything crazy, now.

As the poor old off-ice official who was blessed to have that job for a long, long time, I can tell you that it was absolutely the best seat in the house.  You really felt like you were all but in the game.  I miss it, notwithstanding the occasional puck flying in, sticks to duck, and, believe me, the unusual smells of the visiting teams on the second night of a road trip.

References to the two rows of seats was to the boxes, and not the walkway.

A 1/16th-inch thick roll of tin sheet flooring would complete this enhancement, and make the goaltender below feel like he was caught in a hailstorm.

I guess that I don't get why they would create that, then not allow people to walk accross it.  Sounds kind of boneheaded.
