Great thing about the Garden is that the subway is rarely affected by the weather. My season tix are already paid for so i guess, other than the price of cracker jacks, I'm not affected by the economy. I support the bad coach and bad team unconditionally.
Isn't the Holiday Festival usually played between Xmas and New Year's? i think playing it right before Xmas is a bad idea.
Finally, aren't the other two locals responsible for an empty Garden too? I know we are the bigger program but... For the guys who complain about not playing the locals, what would they bring to the table? I would rather play the bigger programs and get my teeth kicked in. The exposure, and a packed Garden, would help more with recruiting and if we caught one on a good night, we might steal a signature win.
