    Pinstripe Bowl Attendance and Pollard quote

    You're way overestimating the # of ISU fans. There were perhaps 8k. Which is a very good showing for a minor bowl 1000 miles away that is expensive to boot. Rutgers fans in the low 20-25k, which, as far as I'm concerned, is only minimally acceptable. All in all, an ok--not great--turnout. ISU...

    Good turnout indeed, and the ISU section was LOUD considering the size. Hope it was fun.

    What did you guys think of Mohammad Sanu?

    They seemed "out of sorts" because they were getting their *** kicked all day at the LOS on both sides of the ball. Sorry, you weren't playing an FCS team. You were playing an 8 win BCS program. I don't know why you think there must be some secret/unexplained flukey reason you lost.

    What did you guys think of Mohammad Sanu?

    "but their opponent on the field was not the same team that had been wearing the cardinal and gold ever since Oct. 22." Actually, it was. It was the exact same team. And that team was not as good as the team they were playing, Rutgers. I love posts like this. We got dominated on both...

    *****Things to Do in NYC***** OFFICIAL THREAD

    Carneigie Deli is a tourist trap and sucks. Katz's deli, despite its fame, has freaking amazing pastrami and is the real deal. Get a pastrami sandwich, nothing else. Maybe some pickels. Order at the counter.

    There are a bunch of sports bars around the stadium. We usually go to Stan's. None are particularly great but they get the job done. Usually when we go to Yankee games we drink in Manhattan first, but if it's a new experience probably don't want to navigate the subway for the first time hammered.

    2000+ ISU tickets already sold for Pinstripe bowl

    That's interesting. I'm embarrassed to say I've been a die hard baseball fan for 25 years and I never realized this. :embarrassed:

    2000+ ISU tickets already sold for Pinstripe bowl

    Yeah. Even if the outfield weren't closed in, it faces the wrong direction. Old (pre-2009) Yankee Stadium was the same way, but the pre-renovation, original Ruth-Gehrig-Dimaggio-Mantle stadium had an open outfield. Unfortunately, it faced northeast, so it was still just a view of the Bronx...

    2000+ ISU tickets already sold for Pinstripe bowl

    No. For some reason the architects who designed Yankee Stadium never considered the value of framing the skyline (see PNC Park in Pittsburgh). All you can see is the jumbotron.

    That's something, then. Probably a more memorable experience than the bars. I say go for it!

    Travel Help from Anyone

    For getting to the city from LGA, just take the M60 bus. It's really quite simple. The M60 bus goes to 125th street, from there you can get a subway line to anywhere (The 1 goes right to 42nd street). This should work fine for a regular night as well (after the bowl game, say) to get home...

    Well, slight hedge. I've done a birthday party cruise around Manhattan, and I've done a NYE cruise around Boston Harbor. Based on those two experiences, I can say...fun, but not worth $140. Does that include anything? Booze?

    Nice. Do you mind if I ask where you ended up in Jersey city? I had recommended the Westin Jersey City to a couple of people but it turns out they are charging $400 a night. (NYE markup...last time I stayed there I got a $90 room on priceline).

    Thanks Rutgers Fans!

    That map is missing a Princeton Douchebags with sweaters tied around their necks section.

    Also, while it might be 2 hours door to door to Yankee Stadium (though I doubt it...probably closer to 90 minutes), the actual train ride from Linden to midtown manhattan (Penn Station) is pretty quick. I think about 35 minutes. So it's not too bad for NY sight seeing if it's saving you big $$.

    ***OFFICAL: I BOOKED MY TRIP THREAD***

    I wonder how much it would cost you to get a little closer? Linden is awfully far, though, yes, it is on the Northeast Corridor train. It's actually closer to Rutgers than NYC! If it's a budget saver for you, yes, you can make it work. I might consider driving to Yankee Stadium for the game...

    I don't know anything in particular about that hotel, but I wouldn't have any worries if I were you. As far as pure proximity to Manhattan and, more importantly, to the subway, you're in great shape. As a bonus, the Brooklyn Bridge is truly incredible. If the weather allows, walk across it to...

    As for me, I'll be staying with my sister and brother in law for the holidays in Millburn, NJ and taking the train in. Hope to run into some friendly Cyclones fans! One word of general advice to all: do everything you can to avoid driving in Manhattan. Just not worth it.
