Well, figured out a costly way but easy way to skip all these parking situation problems.

Just got a room at the Radisson. That will at least make things a lot easier for Saturday morning.

With all of this parking/traffic hassle, maybe we would have been better off going to Fargo?

Apparently there's massive construction going on outside of the Fargo arena too.

I assume Manchester will also be holding concurrent Memorial Day and Independence Day parades?

Maybe a car show as well?

Besides only a few would even be able to get tickets...

Yeah there definitely wouldn't have been any "additional allotment".

Re: parking on Saturday - not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I am thinking of parking near the Skyzone. Seems to be just far enough away from the 1/2 marathon route and the arena (~1 mile walk). This would avoid having to deal with the Rte 293 exit ramps which can be hideous.

It is supposed to be raining (just wanted to let you know - in 2015 it was MISERABLE and FREEZING COLD and I had to walk a couple of miles...of course, I was sick too so that didn't help).

Would be great to be a student again. UML student deal for Manchester regional is $40 and includes a ticket and round trip bus for both days. Good for Lowell!

Great deals

Serious thanks to all those that have told us a bit about Cornell. Having seen them once (ever), it's really appreciated.

Re: 2016/2017 Lowell Thread: Hoping for Chicago pt 2

Cornell isn't even at full strength on defense. Three of their regular defenders are out (one of whom hasn't played a single game this year and another thanks to a certain Union player ).

FYI, and Good Luck!

UML and Harvard were the two most offensively explosiveness teams we have seen. I believe Harvard has more overall depth top to bottom. The PP on these teams were lethal. UML works for the one-timer on the weakside, mostly off the right hand circle with a leftie shot. The finishes on thse one-timers were of NHL-caliber, bar-down and hard, our goalie had no chance. I do remember that UML was predominantly lefties and CJ Smith and Gambardella were outstanding. You guys can get up and down with speed and skill. Whereas Cornell has a really BIG team, kind of lumbering so they like to play down low on O and win board battles and scrums in front of the net. So we have two different styles of play...whichever team imposes their style will win. If I were a betting man and I picked Cornell losing to Harvard in the ECAC final, I would say UML takes this one 4-2, too much fire power, the same kind that Harvard gave Cornell fits to.

Thank you!
