Message: [QUOTE="Frozen, post: 1076794, member: 167"] I get that it is in RU's best interests to push its "proximity" to NYC. And I would assume that fans of opposing teams are going to stay in NYC hotels when going to a game at RU. (After all, why stay in a NJ hotel on your visit when you are so "close" to NYC?) But I think that those visiting fans are going to find out the hard way that staying in NYC is going to be a bitch when you are trying to get to the game in NJ. Below is the NJ Transit rail schedule for 9/6, which is the date of RU's first home game against Howard. Fans are, firstly, going to have to get to Penn Station from their hotel. Then they have to take an hour-long train ride to get to New Brunswick, then take a cab to the stadium. It's almost not worth the time. Would you suggest that fans of opposing teams who are coming to the Dome should stay in Binghamton? Of course not. But that's nearly the equivalent of what visiting fans are going to have to do when going to a game at RU.
