Gentlemen: price is not everything in New York...I would hesitate to stay at the quality inn on Hempstead Tpke...For a couple of dollars more..the Marriott is very very nice (and closer)and there are other hotels on Old Country Road or further east on Hempstead turnpike that are a lot nicer than the QI..
Tickets...chairbacks on the Hofstra side are reserved and cost around $12. General admission is 6 or 8 and you have your choice of around 10,000 bleacher seats all around the stadium...If you want to sit on the HU side I have a couple of extra tickets that you can buy...
This game will be a litmus test for the pride faithful...no "soccer game", "shopping trip""bad opponent""big time football on the tube" excuses...if there are not at least 10K fans in the stadium on the 29th, there will never be a home playoff game in the pride future
