2015 Skate America in Milwaukee

[Mrs. P]

heck yeah, it was my first thought why would you want your logo to look like a beer label?

The logo looks really nice on a pint glass!

I am tempted to buy tickets and sell them later, just so I can get the glass (or maybe Chris, you could hook a sista with one.) HAHA. I have a growing collection of pint glasses at home...cause you know I drink a lot of beer. (I miss microbrews...)

I'd asked about 208 and the lady confirmed there are 10 seats per row in that section. My group takes up over half the row.

I'm in Section 208 as well - Row 5-Seat 10

Just bought my tickets Section 207, row 5, seat 12 (wanted end row). The lady on the phone says the ticket will be mailed in about 2 weeks. We shall see!!!

I bit the bullet got tickets but got cheap seats because the friends I am going with did not want splurge. So up from Chicago I will be driving.

I got an aisle seat also which is what I wanted....in 223. We are all wearing international orange t-shirts, right?

SMH - Good luck. Hope you get what you want. I ended up taking Section 208, Row 5 because I think it gave me an end seat

 

[CoyoteChris]

You are welcome to my glass if the airlines don't break it! I have enough glasses to last a billion lifetimes...
Chris who has brewed over 500 gallons of beer (I gave it up cause I retired and lost all my free time....)

[sabinfire]

Today I received the voucher for the free SA pint glass. Says to pick it up at the official merchandise booth on the concourse. I imagine they will probably be selling the pint glasses as well?

That's odd considering Chock/Bates won silver at WORLDS.

That's odd considering Chock/Bates won silver at WORLDS.

Frustrating, but expected. Winning OGM at Sochi isn't enough to get the U.S. interested in Ice Dance, so a silver at Worlds matters even less. Almost the same for Pairs. Both of these disciplines rarely get any coverage on TV for the majority of the year.

It's a shock to see no mention of the men, even Jason. I guess everyone is still banking on that next golden girl to save the sport.
