U.S. Figure Skating Announces 2024-25 U.S. Qualifying Season and International Events Schedule

Just saying, but Celtic themed stuff has historically been an audience fav in Boston where the Celtics once reigned on the parquet floor.

I think the bigger question is whether anyone will attempt to skate to “Sweet Caroline,” what with Worlds being in Boston and all

You need at least some knowledge of other sports for the relevance of Sweet Caroline to Boston. I can see Rusty or DJ Romeo or whoever playing it during Zamboni time. With American fans singing along and international fans going "huh"

Question, last year after the night’s events for Skate America were over, did the ones that go last year walk in a group out the stadium over that highway road thingy? Because I’m thinking of doing that. My husband and I were able to do that in Boston this year when we went to see the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 in that there were a lot of people walking in similar directions. So maybe at Skate America?

I had to look that one up! I love this board.

See, not just international fans going "huh".

Ye olde seventh inning stretch, and I don't even like baseball.....

 

[cheerknithanson]

You know….since New Kids On The Block is Boston-based…yes I need some of that this year for whatever discipline please.

USFS is wasting no time with the promos for Nats, and the obligatory "Jason tours the Nats city" fluff piece

(took them longer to churn out the Jason in Columbus piece than this. )

A quaint regional sports tradition and yes, during the initial season of the Cranberry Cup, Sweet Caroline was played in the interval before the last group of skaters took the ice. Locals sang along lustily and did the appropriate moves.

Admittedly there were also a few puzzled looks from the out-of-towners

Wow, I didn't know that when I suggested DJ Romeo do the same at Worlds. Great minds and all that

Out of towners will just think that a bunch of Neil Diamond's biggest fans are in the audience....

The song also has become popular with some UK soccer teams. And has been sung in London when the NFL plays games there.

Hershey for synchro! Very excited!

It's actually during the 8th inning now.

Edit: Since I caused some confusion that I didn't mean to....I meant "Sweet Caroline is played in the 8th inning"

That's how much I know about baseball. What other people know about figure skating.

Ross Miner used "Sweet Caroline" as the lead-in music to his "Boston Strong" program to "Glory" by Michael W. Smith at the Boston 2014 Nationals. Typically, people go from the Red Sox game to the Boston Marathon.

Putting it on the warm side. The average temperature in January for all states (excluding Alaska an Hawaii) is 31.8 degrees F.

OTOH, this Dec. I will be on an 11 day cruise to the Sea of Cortez and in April, a 17 day cruise to Hawaii. And tomorrow, a 7 day cruise to Alaska. But last weekend Barb and the dogs and I were the only tent campers at the cold Helena MT dog agility trials, so I need a break.

Dont quote me as I am not awake yet but I just got an email from USFS that there are 25-35% pirate fees on US nats tickets? Anyone else get that email?

Yes—they apparently sent that out, unsolicited, to anyone in their ticket-buying database

OK, got another email from USFS...this one is pretty interesting. Check out the sum of the "fees" Something for a venue/state to think about when bidding on events. I can tell you (cause I was there) that the promoters of Nats Spokane 2010 were promised $100,000 by the gov of the State of WA if they won the bid, as the 10 percent sales tax and other taxes would be a big boon to the state. After Spokane won, the gov pulled back the $100,000. The promoters were not amused (Toby and Barb told me the event would still go on and did well but that had to sour them on promoting many more skating events.
