Alright, I'm booked at Arena too — 12 nights!
Party central! And we can all sit in the same section of the arena for Juniors too!

But typical. At Cleveland, the ticket takers said, "enjoy the show"...

In 2012 the sign for Whole Foods was up, but the store had not been built. It kind of creeped me out to walk past the empty lot with the chain link fence and the Whole Foods sign on the fence 
. One thing I do remember is that California had stopped using plastic bags at stores. When I went to the CVS next the Arena Hotel I had to purchase a cloth bag or just carry the 5 or 6 items I purchased in my hands.
I'm trying to remember where the secondary arena was located. It was far enough that it would have taken a taxi or a couple of bus rides to get there. I went back and read the announcement and the secondary venue is Sharks Ice which is about 3.5 miles from the SAP Center. Here is a link to view the rink (which is bleacher seating): https://www.google.com/maps/@37.319...UHeEPSpzypIAAAQfCOFBPw!2e0!3e2!7i13312!8i6656
When I reread the announcement I realized that it also states that juvenile-junior athletes will compete Dec. 30 - Jan.4 and championship level will compete Jan. 4-7.

Realized that Kevin Shum 
should have been on my list of skaters with ties to the Bay Area who likely will shine at San Jose Nats:

And then she'll win bronze at worlds, imagine? Maybe she'll win bronze at the Olympiacs too, you know, just to one up her faithful choreographer.
Thanks so much! I had heard rumours a while back that the team event would be a one-time thing but the camaraderie among the team members and the atmosphere in Sochi was festive, great to hear we'll have it again in 2018!

I wonder if there will be a spicy boy by the name Nam cheering on Polina? Mind you I guess it depends how close Canadian nationals are. It might be awkward if Polina goes to worlds and Nam's career is finished but I guess we will see. Young love and lust can be like a reed blowing in the wind.

IIRC, this year Canadian Nationals and US Nationals were on the same weekend.

Took the plunge and just booked a little cottage thru Airbnb for the Thurs-Sun within walking distance of the SAP Center Most hotels are sold out already if you can believe it, including the popular Arena hotel where most of y'all are staying. Never been to San Jose, although I've been to San Francisco.
I'll be skipping Kansas City, but I definitely want to be there for the Olympic Trials - it will be a nail biter!

Maybe she could claim it is like a baby under 2 years old and get a free seat.

No spicy boy i guess then. I always wondered how well thought out it was for Nam to go to San Jose to train with the Canadian dollar so low and higher living expenses and really a teenage relationship. Maybe it will inspire him to pull up his socks after last year's disaster. It is always so interesting to see boyfriends and girlfriends cheering on their significant others. It will be a battle in men's and ladies that's for sure. And what a powerhouse dance team - can you imagine if Davis and White return? Wow, USA could sweep - okay probably not as the odds are the French, Virtue and Moir or a Russian team would rise to the occasion and steal one medal. San Jose is really important to establish the no. 1 skater especially in Men's Ladies and Dance.

When I tried to get into the Arena Hotel and others on line, I got the sold out song and dance, when they meant they werent booking that far out on line yet.
If you did call the Arena hotel direct, you might check if there is a waiting list as people cancel due to unforeseen circumstances....I wonder if the other hotels have been
tied up by the LOC to some extent?
Nothing wrong with an Airbnb though....except that most dont have unlimited bacon! :agree:
