What a coincidence! I was at a meeting in Baltimore around the same time period. I can't remember the year, but I also stumbled upon it. Unlike you, I was able to walk right in and there was no one around but me. I hiked up into the grandstand, sat down and took it all in.

That's not much of a discount. Only $11 less than the reservation I already have. Not worth rebooking.
Scalpers are doing well. 94 sales in the last hour. One pair of front row balcony tickets left on StubHub. $125. (edit: Now $135). I was buying a ticket down in the Loge for a friend and it was bought before I could confirm it.
Front row Loge is $185.
Club seats are $203.
Suites are $213.
SportsDeck tickets are $219.
Insanity.

I'm in club 113 for Friday's game, I can't attend Saturday so you guys are welcome they will probably win Friday now. I paid $88 a ticket about 2 weeks ago and I bought 4 tickets. A friend booked in our row too and he paid $95.

As I'm sure you know, back in the days of Unitas, the Colts were ingrained in the community like regular neighbors. Many worked in the city in the offseason, since their NFL paychecks made that necessary. They were very much local heroes.
I made a similar trek to Montreal about 20 years ago, in search of Parc Jarry (Expos' original home) and discovered most of the area had been turned into a tennis stadium (!). But outside the new tennis stadium, out behind where the right field fence/scoreboard used to be, there was still the old municipal swimming pool, which predated the makeshift baseball stadium, and was still there almost 40 years later. Rusty Staub would hit one in there once in awhile. That too was all built in a regular residential neighborhood. Stuff you don't see anymore ...

Tempting but I just know with my luck the game will go to OT and the last train to Maine leaves at 10:30. As much as I love the Sonesta, I don't want to spend another night in Boston.
Club seats for Saturday start at $130...

Looks like the Maryland Heights regional is standing room only for Friday.

After Irsay abducted the Colts under the cover of darkness I immediately abandoned them, and was without a team for a couple of years. Then my brother married a girl from Green Bay and fetched her up to Lincoln, Maine.
Problem solved. I adopted The Pack.
My SIL grew up across the street from Ray Nitschke and sold Avon to Bart Starr's wife. She said you'd see players around town all the time, and they'd chat you up if you said hello. Definitely were integrated into the community.

Good news, if a bit surprising.

Same. Made it even easier to root against Peyton years later.
Thought Id take a stab at updating the recruiting sheet, with the Hockey East regular season in the books, and most junior leagues either with their season over or nearly over. A reminder, players are grouped within each color based on when I/Heisenberg expect them to arrive, and then shorted within each color by birthday, oldest on top.
For sake of keeping the sheet clean and easy to read, I have elected to only show the player's stats from the team he currently plays for. So, while some players have single-digit GP numbers, that does not mean they've played a single-digit number of games this winter. For instance, Zach Wooten recently transitioned to the USHL, so his stats say 4 GP, 0-0-0. But, earlier this year, he played for his MN High School team, where he had 18-32-50 in 27 GP.
With all the drama surrounding the AJHL + BCHL this year, for the five teams that defected leagues, neither league includes them on their standings page for this season. I was able to find the standings on the team websites, however it looks like that was just for games played after the split. So for simplicity, I just combined what their record was the last time I made the sheet with whatever that page displayed as their record.

Great work but you are missing Maine's latest commitments.....Dylan Lebret and Lukas Peterson.
That's strange, are they not showing on your screen? Because I see them on mine, Peterson is in the blue section and Lebret in the yellow section under defensemen.

I don't understand the selection process sometimes for sites. That is a dinky bowl arena, I think the capacity is like 2800?

I've done a ton of reading on pro football in the 1960's, probably because I regret having missed such a pivotal time in the NFL surpassing MLB as the nation's #1 sports venture. The stories about how Green Bay players were part of their community - something largely encouraged by their coach, who left NYC and lived in GB for almost a decade, until he was offered part-ownership in Washington - parallel those of the Colts in long-ago Baltimore, and the attachment of the two fanbases were very similar and personal. The Giants, on the other hand, were guys living a much different lifestyle of booze and broads in the big city, and I think they paid for that with their 5 straight losses in the NFL title game. They beat the Bears handily in '56, and had the Colts on the ropes in '58 until Johnny U led The Drive to tie it late, and won in the first-ever NFL OT.
After that, the Giants got humbled by the Colts the following year, missed the Finals in '60 when Bednarik clotheslined Gifford in the showdown for the East title, got drubbed by the Pack in '61 and '62, and somehow found a way to lose to a fluky Bears team in '63. They easily could have had 3 titles in that stretch, and with the extra titles, maybe that begets other titles from the organizational confidence? But they definitely got most of the best retirement jobs in TV (Gifford, Summerall, Kyle Rote, Rosie Grier, and Coach Allie Sherman), and QB Chuckin' Charlie Conerly became the Marlboro Man. If they weren't America's Team, they were Madison Avenue's team.
I looked it up just now, and I'm amazed the Baltimore Colts lasted "only" 30 years ('53 thru '83), because their impact and the timing of their rise to prominence was spot on. They never should have been allowed to move, and Irsay (and later Modell in Cleveland) should burn in he11 for what they did to their respective communities. Taking this back over to Les Expos (briefly), we had our own set of villains, and I'm amazed they actually lasted 5 more years in Montreal than the Colts did in Baltimore. I walked away from baseball after 2004, and now 20 years later, I'm still on the sidelines, and waiting for baseball to return to Montreal. Maybe I just didn't like baseball as much??
