2015 Skate Detroit Jul 21-25

I need to just phone in sick to work and hop a plane back home for this. Pretty exciting to see people I know skating against Elizabet in her senior debut. Who knows...maybe someone can make a name for themselves. ;) This event usually has videos pop up at some point right(?) because I've seen footage of Mariah skating it in the past.

This better not be like Lake Placid where I had to ask a competitor how she placed :rolleye:
 
To go or not to go, that is the question.

Feeling terribly unmotivated lately. Would love to see how Osmond is coming along, though.
 
just wondering said:
You don't need tickets, and there's no charge to attend! The stands can get a little full for the Senior events, so it would be wise to arrive a bit early to reserve a seat. If you go, let us know what you think!

Oh awesome! Thanks so much! I'm pretty sure I'll go then, and I will post a report of the competition if I do. Thanks for the info! :)
 
It's times like this I wish I still lived in Michigan. I'd love to see how the pairs are doing. I'll even be in the area, but oh well. I'm looking forward to your report TrishaG!

i couldnt see it today also, my best guess is they decided to withdraw and focus on JGP qualification event which will be held at August 1-2 :think:
 
Just some info if you plan to attend :laugh: The parking can be a little sparse so allow a little time in case it takes a little while to find a space. On the bright side, there is no charge for parking and no admission.

They offer a nice snack bar/grill service at a reasonable price. I usually only get the salads but they also offer burgers and various other sandwiches. There is quite a variety of beverages - juices, flavored water, Gatorade, coffee, tea, soda, etc. The people who operate the snack bar are very nice and can frequently answer questions about the area.

In past years a printed program has been available with the schedule and competitors names for $5. It doesn't have pictures of the competitors but it is good for writing down scores.

Remember this is a rink and not an arena so most (like 98%) of the seating is bleachers. You might want to bring a blanket because if the weather is really hot/humid the rinks tend to be cold!

Also, as you enter the building you will be in a large lobby. To the left of the Snack Bar is Rink C where the Senior events are held and some of the Junior/Novice events are also held. To the right of the lobby is Rink B where most of the Junior and Novice and lower level events are held. Far beyond Rink B is Rink A which is not really meant for fans and no competitions are held in Rink A.

To anyone attending - have fun!
 
Thanks, MFarone! That is great to know. I never remember to think about parking, lol, and I was wondering how cold it would be in the stands.
 
They've been streaming the practice sessions on rink C. There is a combined Novice/Jr/Sr practice streaming at the moment.
 
It was working earlier for the combined warm-up. I don't think there is anything else going on though, that's why it's offline.

Last thing "scheduled" ended at 8:40. It should pick back up tomorrow.
 
Rink C is the practice rink tonight. Anyone there with practice reports of the Canadian ladies?
