Re: The comments of Eric H and John H on arenas- Having spent a number of Great Lakes Invitationals in Joe Louis Arena and this year's NC$$ championships in the Knick, I would comment that as far as actually *watching* the game, each has the advantage (IMHO) of being a single-tier (no blocked seats) arrangement. From logistics, The Knick was a bit of a pain, though not awful- I found parking less than a quarter of a mile from the arena at reasonable price both days of the tournament. The only major problem I saw was rather narrow corridors at the entrance level, making the between period, and after game crushes a little tighter. Overall, though, I'd have to agree with John- The Joe comes out ahead- Hope to get up to Lake Placid for further comparison this March for the ECAC's ... Joel Graber Michigan Tech '87, Cornell ? Any news on the Tech team prospects for this season? (E.G. who's the new coach since Newell Brown went to Adirondack?)
