Subject: Holy Cross Expensive Author: Yale OL [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:44:53 09/18/24 Wed I am thinking of heading up to Worcester on Saturday for Yale's first game. I was looking at Holy Cross prices and they struck me as expensive. $28 for general admission! Between $25 and $35 to park! Seems kind of expensive to me. I saw on their website they have some new food at the concession stands including a burger that looks really good! I can only imagine what they are charging for that. I guess I am just getting crankier as I am getting older... [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> Subject: Parking Hacks Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 14:11:24 09/19/24 Thu We should compile a list of the best and/or cheapest parking spots near each of the eight Ivy stadia as well as our most common OOC opponents. I'll get us started. Parking near Kraft Stadium or Baker Field is expensive or a real time-consuming challenge if you're looking on Inwood Hill or anywhere south of the Bronx. But if you just drive north on Broadway over the bridge, there is a veritable sea of available street parking. That's the hack at Columbia. Plus, I've always had good luck parking on Broadmead Street at Princeton. You can't arrive right at kickoff and find a nearby spot, but now that the Tigers have built that huge parking garage near the stadium, I suspect that Broadmead will revert to being the easy in/easy out option.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Parking Hacks Author: voy vey [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:57:11 09/22/24 Sun I will second Broadmead Street for Princeton parking. I haven't been in ~ 10 years but used to park in the big fields at Broadmead and Western Way. Columbia - again, haven't been there in over a decade, and used to live a little dangerously there, I suppose, opting for on-street parking on 9th Ave or 220th St and then hoofing about 1/3-mile to the stadium. There was no tailgating involved, FWIW. Harvard - Soldiers Field Rd to the (free) parking lot near the Christian Herter Park. Again, a walk is involved, about a half-mile to the Stadium. But easy in/out and the price is right. Plenty of space for tailgating, albeit on asphalt. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Oh for the glory days before gentrification and new building in Inwood, when those cheap and easy garages were a dime a dozen along Broadway, as were the IRA infested saloons!

Is that Irish Republican Army, India Rale Ale or Individual Retirement Account? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Holy Cross Expensive Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:54:27 09/19/24 Thu There weren't no Rale Ale, or even IPA, in those days. It was Schaefer, Knickerbocker or Piels and a shot. Reminds of the time the MBA students, in their khakis and polo shirts, brought their dates into Cannon's at 108 and B'way, asked for Daiquiries, only to be told: "We don't serve no dikeries in here."
