ITS THE PINSTRIPE!!!!

[twballgame9]

Call me a pussy if you want, but the potential for extremely cold weather is a major negative. I will still go, but the cold will suck, and it will probably impact the amount of people I bring (kids, for instance - mine and others) which does impact ticket sales. Same game in late September, and I would be bringing a HUGE group of people. I am outside in cold weather all the time, but its always while being active (skiing, running, soccer). The idea of just standing around for 4 hours in 25 degree weather sucks. I will still go, but I will be complaining about my sandy vagina the whole time.

It's all about layers and wearing the proper Under Armour/Nike gear underneath the clothing (both legs and upper body). I did that for the Louisville and Cuse and was fine except for my feet. I wore two pairs of socks and my feet were still cold. While watching the Packers-Patriots, the sideline reporter mentioned that Aaron Rodgers inserts multiple handwarmers in his socks/shoes. I am going to try that.

I agree, and I have all of that stuff, but without being active, its still hard. That stuff works best when one is active.

The bottom line is that human beings are not meant to be outside in sub-freezing temps without being active. Even the most primitive of cultures knew this, and were able to create small heated areas for sleeping, eating, and resting.

Just use hand and foot warmers, wear a good hat and boots, and otherwise layers as others have said. I'm able to make it through many an Army-Navy game in freezing rain and freezing temps as long as I follow those simple rules.

These are the words of a man who stands up when he pees.

This has been one of talon's better gimmicks.

For the Champs Bowl (Ryan's senior year), I seem to recall the athletic department purchasing 1,000 tickets for students and assisting with transportation. Not sure if the transportation part is true given the distance, but for some reason I have that memory. Any word on whether the athletic department will do something similar this time around? Or at least provide buses from campus for the students who live in the Boston area?

I just looked up PSU to see what they did this year. Really weird team (at least based on the stats). They were the top D in the B10 (4th best D nationally). They have the best run D in the entire country. Conversely, they were the worst offense in the B10. They averaged less than 20 points a game. They had far-and-away the worst rushing O and only marginally acceptable passing O (combined for 325 yards per game). Other than running up the score against UMass (48) and Temple (30), they failed to score 27 points in their other 10 games (scoring 21 or less 8 times). Their QB has twice as many INTs as he does TDs. It sounds like betting the under should be a very safe bet.

I can't see BC doing this. There are plenty of nerds home for the holidays in NY/NJ/CT to provide a decent student section.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Their QB has twice as many INTs as he does TDs.

His ratio was the opposite in 2013. That's why I think the sanctions must have really hurt them on the offensive side of the ball this year.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

We didn't grill and I don't recall if it had bathrooms.

This is why God invented the Stadium Pal.

[commavegarage]

Glad I waited...they are cheaper thru BC.

[DavidGordonsFoot]

Just go to Stan's Sports Bar, Yankee Tavern or one of many other bars in the general vicinity.

I'd rather drink in the Yankee Stadium concourse than any of those dumps.

[Bryn Mawr Eagle]

Sgt. Slaughter Coach Addazio hereby orders you (nicely) to go to the bowl game:



Love the music. Feels like Army-Navy!

Can you elaborate? I haven't seen an e-mail yet. (I am a low end Flynn Fund Donor and season ticket holder).

It's a very common misconception that if your feet get cold that you should wear more socks. Forget your feet! The issue is not your sensitive little toesies! The issue is your core body temperature. When your core body temperature drops below a certain point your body begins redirecting blood flow to central areas to conserve temperature, shunting blood away from your fingers and toes through capillary action. Your fingers and toes feel cold because you've allowed your core body temperature to drop too much and now there isn't as much blood (which is warm, duh) flowing through them. All the socks in the world won't warm your toes if you can't maintain core body temperature.

So the answer is extra CORE layers. Go to a sports store and go to the winter sports section. Get a moisture whicking baselayer top and bottom (long johns), and maybe even a middle layers and wear these under your regular clothes. And remember, forget cottons. They retain moisture which will cool you further. And yes, moisture is a problem, because if you're layering right you may actually have moments where your core is too hot and you'll sweat. So stick to wool and synthetics so the clothes don't get damp.

And yes, on top of all of that, wear two layers of wool socks and thick boots. And keep moving. During TV timeouts go say hi to a friend in the next section or something.

Really, really wish I could go to this one!

Three things:

A. Complaining about the cold makes you a pussy. Try Lambeau in January.
2. Bring a folded up cardboard box and stand on it instead of the concrete. Impacts foot warmth substantially.
d. Put liter bottles of vodka or fireball in your junk underneath your snow pants.

Have fun.

I can't reopen the thing as I already submitted my request, but given this:

http://web.pinstripebowl.com/images/201 ... pe_map.pdf

I requested the powder blue and they were charging 95 not 125...terrace seating was 65/70 i wanna say as opposed to 80

Thats great to hear. Thanks for the info. Looking for to purchasing mine.

[commavegarage]

oh and ticket master was charging fees beyond the 125 that made it 135...95 isnt cheap but honestly 30% off what the general market sees as face seems really fair to me

all levels were discounted too

[TobaccoRoadEagle]

there are a lot of liars in this thread.



i will openly admit that i will not attend this game. my issue is more with proximity but the weather doesn't inspire me to battle through that issue.

to the 4 or 5 guys that are actually going... i hope you enjoy the game. to the rest of you, i hope you feel as much shame as you did the day after the big gdf pow wow in NYC that you all failed to attend.

Or else dress like a bear. But be careful of anti bear defense mechanisms.

you think yankee stadium has bear defense mechanisms?

we know fenway doesn't

[commavegarage]

i will say this is the first time ive ever complained about not having a noon game...

but i will be there +3...my larger group is about 15.

[eaglesfan06]

Bought 2 yesterday, bought 4 more today through BC.

Not sure I'll be able to find 4 extra people to go and use them all, but it's worthy cause to help BC build up their reputation.

We need to sell out this allotment and we need fans to stop bitching about it. Shut it and support the team. These kids deserve it Especially since most of them had to suffer through Spazoo.

[claver2010]

i will openly admit that i will not attend this game.

in other news, nospace is fat

[BCMurt09]

DO people get the sense that the ticket number you order will be all together or spaced out within the designated section

EDIT: Just called the ticket office. They said yes that they will put together large groups.

[commavegarage]

i got to imagine if i put in for 4 like i did all the seats will be adjacent. feel like if they werent there would be gigantic disclaimers

Whomever invented pit zips doesn't get enough credit. Nothing worse than being hot when it's cold.

Of course you won't be there - but I think many BC people who actually like sports really will go to this. We may not sell out our allotment, but it will be close. It's a very manageable day trip for most fans - both BC and PSU - from CT down to Philly. And if we don't go, Penn State people will. Barring a terrible weather day I expect that stadium to be 95% or more filled.

Why don't you Sallies just get a HotLips heater?

If BC doesn't sell out their allotment, it will have entirely more to do with institutional ineptitude than a lack of fans who want to attend.

[BCMurt09]

One thing I forgot to mention was when I called the ticket office, the guy who answered was very short and a bit gruff. It sounded like he had been answering Pinstripe questions all day and knew exactly why I was calling.

I'm taking it as a good sign.
