2023 Skate America: General Info

[SmileHappy34]

The women are deceptively stacked. Their scores are close proximity that a few could win or medal.
Loena Hendrick, Isabeau Levito can win are the front runners for the title. Mana Kawabe and Young You could win. Than Ekaterina kurakocva could medal.
Who could forget Amber Glenn medal or win Clare Seo plus a few more. The score among competition are close and comparable that a mistake could cost title or. Medal.

Why does Skate America have to do Fri-Sun? Skate Canada does Fri-Sat. I know that in 2015 in Milwaukee, it was Fri-Sat.

For those of you with questions about practices, my contact at the arena advised that as long as we show the bundle of tickets (mobile or paper) for the All Session pass, we will be able to attend any of the practices that are noted on the schedule. They will not be issuing separate passes. Practice entry should be the South Doors, across from the South parking garage at the Event Center.

Why does Skate America have to do Fri-Sun?

More time allows for more money-spending.

I think it's because NBC likes to show the women live on Sundays for maximum viewing potential...

Though I don't know how that works with Sunday Football. I know NBC does the Sunday night showing and not the afternoon showings, but still.

 

[moonvine]

I don't know how to get into the practices but for the coloured schedule see post #2 above. I am hoping the will call tickets can be picked up on Thursday and they will include something to get into the practices.

My tickets are in my Apple Wallet and do not contain anything to get into the practices.

 

[ChristineB]

My tickets are in my Apple Wallet and do not contain anything to get into the practices.

The arena advised that you can just show the all event tickets - they won't be issuing anything separate for practices, but you can get in without issue (or so they say).

For some reason, I thought Skate America was next weekend, but it's actually this weekend. I should hopefully be able to do some play-by-plays in the event threads!

 

[labgoat]

I will be working so I’ll be popping in and out - rewatches will be delayed for sure.

I honestly doubt that it's a great marketing strategy, given the popularity of the NFL in the US, but it’s what their strategy appears to be...

Thinking about it a little more, I suppose they're also trying to appeal to the stereotypical women who don’t like football. Again, I don't think this a particularly effective strategy because there are plenty of women out there who like football. However, I haven't been a football fan for many years and I used to enjoy watching the NBC broadcasts before 2019...

Yeah, nice try NBC. Bills Mafia for life! I'll be multi-tasking.

Fly Eagles Fly (and since my avatar/screen name is confusing, I am a woman. Who loves skating and football)

But the game is Sunday night, and the men will be finished by then (yes, I know everyone will be finished by then, but the discipline I care most about is most important )

Same here on the discipline. I can get animated during both skating and football. I'm just glad it's not another SNF game for us this week. I felt like I aged 10 years. Also, I hope the Eagles beat the Dolphins.

 

[Minz]

While I'm not a crazy football fan or anything I, unfortunately, am a Jets fan (which meant that on Sunday, I was quite happy wheras I'm sure @el henry wasn't too pleased)

 

[labgoat]

I had a job once...it was the worst 28 years of my life.....got rid of it 19 years ago....I reccommend you quit!

Still need $$ for healthcare and a few fixes & upgrades in house. Someday I hope.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Football is King this time of year and if any women are watching FB they are usually with their husbands, boyfriends and lovers.

This jumped out at me. If we are going to generalize, one might also say that any men watching figure skating rather than football this time of year are usually accompanying their wives and girlfriends. Yet—here you are!

(Yes, I’m sure you were joking!)

 

[cheerknithanson]

While I'm not a crazy football fan or anything I, unfortunately, am a Jets fan (which meant that on Sunday, I was quite happy wheras I'm sure @el henry wasn't too pleased)

My condolences though on you being a Jets fan.
