    They use Union labor.

      I'm heading to the game tomorrow night for sure and think I will try to get to the John Harvard brew pub before. Anyone else have something similar in mind?
      I'm considering heading up for what is arguably our biggest game in years.

        Yup. Barred! Wow. Considering how poorly he acted on game threads I can only imagine what his political arguments would be like. Hyperbipolarism... is that a real thing Dr. Demento?

          I hope you can. This could be a pro-RPI crowd I think.

            It’s going to be a game time decision, but trying to be there.

              A little late with this but congrats to the ACHA Team. If you get the chance ( next year I guess) go see some of their games. It is very good hockey. Primo seats always available too

                I don't think it will be just the school. I think the city of Schenectady and Rivers will be involved.

                  I worked for GE and lived in Schenectady in the early 80's; I have a certain fondness for Schenectady and know it's gone through a lot of pain with GE's much-reduced profile over the years.

                  Having said that, I would tap the breaks on a Union/City/Rivers joint project. The Rivers Casino has not been the cash flow champion Schenectady and the County were counting on. Even if money were no object, I'm not sure a 4,000 seat multipurpose venue makes the average Schenectadian's top 10 (or top 20) list of things to accomplish.

                    Certainly looks like there's enough undeveloped area on the peninsula at the river side of the harbor to fit it, and the planned living stuff looks to be on the Erie Blvd side, so no shortage of townies or places to pregame.

                          The Harvard women have a playoff game in the afternoon. I assume that if that game goes to several OTs, our game will be further delayed.

                              Will WRPI be broadcasting the game?
