Who's Going to Worlds?

Thanks GrandSophy. I should've checked the website first!

That's a bummer, since I'm staying at a friend's house some distance away from Boston and was hoping I didn't have to go to her house and then back to the rink in Boston. I should ship my clothes there in advance and travel hands free haha.

But you know, that rule they have seems contradictory. First they include laptops as one of the prohibited items. Then they say after search, laptops may be allowed. -_- not that I'm planning on bringing one.

Not sure if it's helpful. But there's Package Express storage area in South Station (Not North Station).

As of July 2015, they charge $10 per item, and they're open from 7am - 8pm on weekdays and 8am - 5pm on weekends.
 
2 questions:

1) Can I arrive 1 hour after an event starts if I'm only interested in watching the later skaters?
2) Are we allowed to bring food into the stadium (inside a bag, of course)

1.) Yes, you can enter anytime you'd like with a valid, unused ticket. It's common for many people to arrive just for the biggest events and/or final groups.

2.) No, outside food is not allowed inside TD Garden. You could try smuggling something in, but I wouldn't be surprised if most bags are searched during entry.
 
@shyne: thanks, but if they close at 8 pm and the event ends at 11 pm, I won't be able to pick up my bag afterward. I will either ship my luggage or stow it in my friend's car at the subway station she parks at.

I guess security is just tight these days. I was able to wear my black backpack everywhere at the US Open some years ago.
 
Do they sell food at the TD Garden if we're not allowed to bring outside food in?
 
Is teddy bear toss allowed @ TD garden?
Not sure how many I can snug in with the tight security.
 
If it is like 2014 Nationals, many food stands were not open early in the week. However, there are a number of pubs/Subway's/etc. near the rink.

That's right. Food is not a problem. There is even food in the T station......and the Qdoba acoss the street will sustain life....

If this event were before Paris, I would say that like most skating events they allow a bag, like a grocery shopping bag, to carry all the junk we skating fans "need" , no matter what the arena policy normally is....we never know how much of that policy will be enforced anyway. But in the Post Paris world, I expect security to be on the tight side and be ready for it.
Chris with a motorcycle coat with seven pockets....
 
My guess is that it will be in front of Loge 20 and 19, near the kiss and cry, unless they enter and exit by separate gates as sometimes happens.

I think thats right. I just looked at my Boston 14 pics but I couldnt tell for sure from them but that is what I remember....
 
Sorry, I didn't have time to read through all pages, but do you guys plan to party somehow there? I don't have any friends who love to watch figure skating competitions, and I'd be so excited to have some live conversations about it! I am going to come for Ladies free.

I reckon there'll be a few chances to hang out with people. ;)

Find Doris or Mrs P and you will be at Goldenskate fan central for our all night parties! They will point out the usual suspects for you....

I'd love to see people from golden skate at Boston! :yahoo:

LOL.

Anyway, I'm always up for night caps post the evening sessions either near the arena or Back Bay (near all the competition hotels). I'd be glad to organize some sort of brunch before the first sessions of the day on Wednesday-Friday.

I leave on Saturday morning.
