Chan and Howe. Honestly, they look much stronger than I would have expected.

What kind of food stations do they have open for practices? I am thinking of coming tonight but haven't eaten yet

Lots of people seem to buy popcorn or chicken fingers and fries... The smell of grease is very present... I had veggies on my way to work and felt awesome about my choice

Thank you so much! I agree, they look better than I had hoped.

Is anyone watching dance practice and perhaps able to give us your impressions, dying for any kind of info/news/changes, etc.?

For those who have already been on site, how are they handling in and out privileges? Do you have to scan your ticket out when you leave and rescan to come back in? Are they using wristbands? Some other option?

 

[Arriba627]

They scan your ticket on the way out. You rescan when you come back in.

Many mentioned the temperature to be warm, so jeans and a sweater?

Yes. Not cold.

I found it very cold. I sat in 101 3 rows up all day.

Has anyone been in the the alternate route rink? If so are the seats bleachers? Do they have backs? Pairs are my least favorite so I am going thinking of skipping pairs practice and first couple groups of pairs and watch the singles skate. But if sitting is not comfortable, I won't be able to stand more than an hour.

Maybe they were better later ... First practice.. however, his non-verbal language towards her when she falls is not very supportive or patient. I didn't like that.

Hmmm...that doesn't sound like him at all.

I'm always cold at those things. Always.

I only saw them for the one session. Maybe he was tired..

Asking about temperature is a tricky question. I was in Sec. 103 two rows off the ice last night for about 2-1/2 hours and wasn't cold at all. Maybe dress in layers. I'm from a cold weather state, so this didn't bother me at all.I may be part polar bear.

 

[4everchan]

nobody has ever mentioned ice dance ? what about pairs today ? Anyone went ?

I saw the competition schedule... I will miss a few flights here and there because I cannot be at a rink for 12 hours non-stop. I need to eat good food and rest a bit... So yeah Will share some insight but probably not PbP

I wasn't cold either sitting close to the ice for 3 hours this morning... Yesterday I was further away from the ice and it was even warmer.
Compared to CQE/ACI (in Pierrefonds) where I was freezing in August/October...
