I guess they just got around to making it official now. It's a great old place to watch a game. You are close to the court and the place rocks. I have been going to basketball games there, high school and college, since !962. Tickets were hard to come by then. For the boys' Essex County Tournament games in the 60s, I worked selling potato chips and pretzels just to get in. I got to see the games from every location. Believe me, it's a big deal for them to sell out a women's game. I was there two years ago for the Aubrey show with a sparse crowd. I am very happy this game is sold out. The Never Forget games at the Rock in Newark with both the UCONN men and women ( women play UCLA ) are not sold out but there are no seats left within the baselines which is a good sign. Danny Hurley's first head coaching job was up the block at St. Benedict's Prep, my alma mater. It is great for girls' and women's basketball for Paige and company to be in this area twice in an 8 day span. As for the food, if you have to eat at Walsh you will starve. Lines are very long and slow. Best to eat at one of South Orange's really good restaurants beforehand or after or take a trip down memory lane for a thin crust pie or 2 at Bunny's. That's where I will be with my family all of whom are Husky devotees. [/QUOTE]
