CoyoteChris · Jan 13, 2015

Most of us crazy people will be there all day watching practices....I make a sheet up with the pics of all my friend's faces so I can check off who made it....iluvtodd, spouse, Doris and Mr. S, M., Karin, Andy and Evylen, Skater Don, Clarence, Mark, Terry and Janet, Anne, Mandy Sam and Brook, Barb, Dell...If you are lonely at a nats, its cause you want to be.....

We're going. Seats are in Section 123. Can we do a little roll call of where everyone is sitting? Hopefully a number of us can meet up @ some point!

Unlikely for me. Worlds in Boston 2016, another story.

Sounds like many of you have great seats! I wish I were able to go!

You lucky guys let us know how the practices are going.

CoyoteChris · Jan 13, 2015

I will leave the practice play by play to others unless something major even I can see happens....I am there just for the beauty, the artistry, the drama and the Party! The thrill of victory and the agony of da feet! :dance: :cheer2:

:agree:

It seems like some of you have seen a schedule for practices. If you have, could you please tell me where you found it? Thanks so much.

ETA, unofficial tentative versions of the schedule are on the next page of this thread.

I have not cross-checked against the Dec 28 drafts of these documents ... don't know what the differences are.

Revisions to the championship pairs practice groups and practice schedule apparently are in the works.

Any info on SkateRadio availability at Nationals? If yes, anyone know if they can be purchased onsite and where?

Also known as Smart Bug, yes?
Then it's mentioned as an amenity for those who bought corporate ticket packages. A good sign, I hope, that it will be available for purchase to mere (non-corporate

) mortals as well??

CoyoteChris · Jan 14, 2015

I always bring my ear bug as I learn quite a bit when nothing is happening from the tech speicalists....and they handle texted questions which are interesting. I turn it off when my favorite skaters are preforming, though. A few nationals ago a couple of guys (Jimmy and David Santee?) explained in real time what the tech specialists and judges were looking for during ice dancing and I decided I didn't know a darned thing about ice dance as a sport....:shocked: Oh well, I still like it...

Can anyone who's there give me some idea of the cab fair from the hotels to the arena? A general idea is enough. Thanks.

dorispulaski · Jan 20, 2015

I take it your hotel is not one on the shuttle service?

Who is going to US Nationals in Greensboro?
