Thanks for that info. I have no agenda but to enjoy myself as a fan. One thing though. Where can I get poutine while we are in Albany?

That could be a tough one. Only place I know of is the Gastropub. Is about a 10 minute drive from the arena though. Not sure anyone has it downtown.

The city Beer hall has Poutine-42 Howard street- Havent been there or tried it yet.. but it was a location mentioned as a possible nearby pre-game option from this blog

City Beer Hall is solid - I haven't had the poutine before, but they have good eats in general. I'd expect it to be a mob scene around Siena games there, though, just fair warning.

While not poutine, down the street from the TUC on Pearl there's a place that specializes in Belgian beers and Frites. Menu below:

If you're willing to travel just a bit farther, you can definitely find more locations that serve poutine.

Hope you enjoy your stay!

Spend a night in Saratoga Springs and check out Shirley's ... Montreal natives are the owners ... poutine is their specialty

Great food and beer at Stout.

Looking forward Attending the tournament with some other Siena Alumni for the first time since the Fran years- Is there still a Bar/restaurant in the Times Union Center? We are Looking for a place to Pre-Game that is near the arena- Maybe a sports bar or place with decent Burgers/wings- Any suggestions? Should be a good Siena fan turnout this year- Go Saints!!!!

Glad Kadeem's folks are psyched for the tourney- looking forward to Kadeem on the court next year!

City Beer Hall is always a good time, huge beer selection, good food and a mini pizza with every beer you buy.

Go Saints!!!!

Too downtown is shot to hell now! It was 100x better during the McCaffery era and even before that!

It'll be on HJ's menu next year if we go dancin "Kadeem's Poutine"

[Thornlea14]

Thanks guys. I'm feeling the love already. Thanks for the locations.

Welcome Thornlea14.. Parish house is not as crowded and is a few blocks from arena

And for those of you that haven't seen Kadeem play - you will like him, he really fits in with what Jimmy is trying to do-- very quick and athletic.. Press is going to be dynamite

not super close to the arena but go to the ruck in troy and get some wings. recently moved from albany and I definitely miss the ruck.

I think it is awesome that Kadeem's mom is posting on the board but it strikes you as a bit ironic that the same posters who rip PPC a new one every chance they get and tell her it's bad new for a parent to post are the ones trying to get cozy with the new mom in town.

Interesting.

I think she should refrain from posting when her son becomes "activated".

That sounds like a constitutional violation, but as a Canadian maybe you don't believe she deserves constitutional protection.
