I really want to go for finals weekend because it's a manageable drive for me, but I really don't want to absorb the cost of a hotel room + watch alone. So what I'm saying is: want to be friends?
Not me! Paul! Just ask Doris. I shirk from responsibility.....I am just an old man with a bad back.I think you should be the official GS meet up organizer, Chris! You seemed to do a great job for SKAM!
Watch the main website for a very detailed PDF that will give all the schedules for all the sheets of ice, just like when you attended Cleveland. Also remember that with a ticket, you can get in early and watch practice/warmups before the event. When a ticket covers two events, you can actually see alot. Every event seems to be different as far as watching practices, or even if you can get into the secondary practice ice.Do you know that specifically for this Nationals? I could have sworn at the last Cleveland nationals we just bought passes right there (practices were at another rink a few miles out.)
-- Just found out that there are 2 types of practices. Main arena is restricted as you said, but there's another arena where the general public can attend. Now I just have to find out if there will be any ladies or mens practices on Thursday or Friday at the public arena.
- Anything else to do in Omaha that might make the extra days worthwhile?
What did you ex-best friend tell you when you said "NO!" I told my wife there are three times during the year she cant die or she is going into the freezer till I get home.....she thinks I am kidding.....I was planning on it. I had vacation days I could use and was getting ready to start purchasing tickets when my best friend decided to have her wedding that weekend and ask me to be maid of honor. I actually had to think about it for a minute :think:
