Is there an Internet steam for tomorrow's game?

Re: Yale Bulldogs Hockey 2013-14: Repeat after me.......CHARACTER IS DESTINY

I'm going to try to make the trip to New Haven (from NYC) for the Union/Yale game on 2/28. I'll probably spend the night in New Haven, drive to Providence the next day (for the 4:00 Union/Brown game), then continue on to Boston for Saturday night.

I'm leaning towards booking a room at the Courtyard Marriott or Omni since they both seem to be right next to campus. Is that a good option? Can I [safely] walk around in that area? Are there any good bars to go to after the game? I also want to grab a slice at Pepe's and Sally's when I'm there.

Should it be any issue to get tickets a week before the game?

Any other recommendations/advice is appreciated.

The Omni is right downtown in the middle of all of the clubs and eateries. You could walk to the rink from there but it is about a mile. The Omni also charges for parking. The courtyard is about .6 miles from the rink and is on the outskirts of a pretty tough neighborhood. If you walk out the front doors of the courtyard, do NOT walk left up Whalley Ave. I would stay at the Omni, as your choices for bars and eating near your hotel are much better. I like a place called The Anchor for drinks, it would actually help to know your age, as alot of the places downtown are nightclubs. Let me know what time you are getting to town, if you are interested we pre-game at an old Yale haunt called Mory's of which I am a member, great food and a good bar with half price burgers and wings during happy hour. http://www.morys1849.org/

The BBSB Visiting Weekend got cancelled, so I can actually go to the Yale-Quinnipiac game. How crazy will the Whale be?

Sold out for weeks, usually 1/4 of the crowd is Q fans. Great atmosphere. Get there early.

How was JohnK? We do an autism awareness game at RPI and John is a sponsor Big man, big heart. Katie's food and beer the best!!!!

He is well and was gracious enough to be me a Guiness for coming by. He had to head off to the RPI game after a quick chat with my family, we brought a party of six including some friends. The reuben with cabbage instead of Cole slaw was to die for, one of the best I've had.

They only have two chants, "It's all your fault" and "Lets go Bulldogs" Yalie's don't dabble in that choreographed stuff, they leave it to the prep schools.

Hey now. It's not like Yale students don't love the word "suck" too.

Yale Asst. AD Steve Conn with a little jab at the RPI faithful in the Yale website official recap. "The fans at Houston Field House tonight may have established a new collegiate record for saying the word "suck" in a variety of chants."

Tomorrow will likely be the only time I will pull for Yale all season.

And we thank you, whats up with scheduling QU-Yale on Valentines Day? Talk about torture. Gonna skip the Princeton game just to stay in good graces. BTW knock off SLU as well.

You mean they say it more than my fellow Cornellians.? I didn't think that was possible
