[UC] Penn/Harvard Game Tickets

2005-03-04 Thread J. Matthew Wolfe
Through the generosity of Penn's Office of Community Affairs, there are free
tickets available for tonight's Penn/Harvard basketball game at the
Palestra.

They were kind enough to provide me with some tickets for distribution.  I
am happy to disburse them as the supply lasts.

The Palestra is a great place to watch a game and is right here in our
neighborhood.  Penn has already won the Ivy League Championship.  If you
have not been there, here is a good opportunity to become a fan.  It is also
a child-friendly environment.  At free the price can not be beat as an
entertainment value.  Penn's students are on spring break, so the team could
use some extra voices to cheer it on.

The game is at 7PM.  I am having a number of people from the neighborhood
over before the game for dinner and drinks.  We will be receiving guests
from 4PM until 6PM, giving us plenty of time to walk over to the Palestra.
While I do not know everyone on this listserv, I am always happy to make new
acquaintences.  Whether you can make the game or not, feel free to stop over
before hand.  If you cannot make dinner but want to go to the game, stop
over and I can give you tickets or leave them at the will call window.  If
you always wanted to get to a game but did not want to go by yourself, this
is a good opportunity to go over with a group.

I hope you can make it.

[UC] Penn/Harvard Basketball Game Saturday at the Palestra

2005-03-02 Thread J. Matthew Wolfe


This coming Saturday, March 5, is the final Penn basketball game at the
Palestra for the season.  The game kicks off at 7PM and the opponent is
Harvard.  It is Senior Night, so they will be honoring the seniors in their
last home game.  Penn clinched the Ivy League Championship last weekend
(becoming the first team in the nation with a berth in the NCAA Tournament)
and will be trying to gain some momentum for the tournament.

The Palestra is the finest place in the country to watch basketball and IS
America’s most historic basketball arena.  Lucky for me, I live in West
Philly and do not miss many games there during the season.  If you are on
this listserv, you probably live here too.  Penn is having a particularly
good season this year.

You should try and come to the game.  I have always felt that one of the
amenities of living in West Philly is that Penn's sporting events are in
walking distance.  It amazes me that so many of my neighbors have never been
to the Palestra.  In order to encourage your attendance, we will be
receiving guests from 4PM until 6PM for dinner and refreshments.  That will
give us plenty of time to get to the game by tip off.  I certainly do not
know everyone on this listserv, but I am always willing to meet and
entertain neighbors.  If you know anyone who would like to come, bring them
along.  Kids are welcome both to our house as well as to Palestra for the
game.

The game is unlikely to sell-out since Penn’s spring break starts the day
before.  If you want to get tickets in advance you can go to
http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?ATCLID=90193SPSID=9008SPID=
556DB_OEM_ID=1700organ_val=2571

I hope you can make it.  There is no need to RSVP, as we are just taking a
guess as to who will show up and if we get more than expected, oh well.  If
you can make it, whether you go to the game or not, please come by.

[UC] Penn/Harvard Game

2004-11-12 Thread J. Matthew Wolfe
A battle of the titans this Saturday, NOVEMBER 13 at Franklin Field.  The
undefeated Harvard Johns (one of the nicknames actually lamer than the
Quakers) roll into Philadelphia to try and take home the Ivy League title
from its rightful home.  Penn is riding a 20 game Ivy League winning streak.
Two tough teams should yield one great game.

Kickoff is at 1PM.  Whether you can make the game or not, we would love to
have you come over for brunch from 10PM until 12PM.  This gives us plenty of
time to walk to Franklin Field.

One of the many nice things about living in West Philly is proximity to
things at Penn, be it theater or sports.  If you would like to go to the
game but do not want to go by yourself, there will be a group going over.  I
do not know everyone on the listserv, but feel free to come over and
introduce yourself.  It never hurts to meet neighbors.  No need to RSVP.

[UC] Penn-Harvard Game

2002-11-15 Thread J. Matthew Wolfe



I am writing to 
encourage my University City neighbors to think about attending the Penn-Harvard 
football game at Franklin Field tomorrow (Saturday, November 16). It 
always amazes me that so many people live so close to Franklin Field and have 
never been to a game there. They are great fun. Penn has been 
playing Harvard and most of the other Ivy League teams for over 100 years. 
There is great enthusiasm on the part of the students and alumni that cheer the 
teams on. The Penn Band always puts on a good show. There is no 
alcohol sold at the stadium, which has its advantages and disadvantages, but 
does make it a great atmosphere for families and kids.

This game in 
particular should be good. Penn and Harvard bring undefeated league 
records into the game. The last two years, the game between these rivals 
decided the Ivy League Championship and will again this year. Penn is 
currently ranked 21st in the nation in Division 1-AA.

The game kicks off 
at 12:30 AM. General Admission tickets are $10 and $5 for kids and 
seniors. About the price of a movie. You can spend more if you want 
fancier seats. If it is raining, everyone can hide under the upper 
deck.

I am having a few 
fans over to my house before the game for refreshments. Anyone who would 
like to stop over and have a small group to go to the game with is 
welcome. I will be receiving guests from 10 AM until about 11:30 AM. 
We will walk over to Franklin Field at about 11:30 AM to allow plenty of time to 
get tickets and get in before the kickoff.
