Meet Me In St. Louis!

[MusicSkateFan]

:) All event tickets for Senior Nationals in St. Louis get mailed on Nov. 17! I cant wait to get mine! I am hoping for seats as good as the ones I had in Atlanta 2004!

Anyone else going? I will be at as many practices as I can!

I'm going! I'll be there Tuesday through Sunday. I love practices, but my mom gets bored, so I may have to temper my excitement for those a bit. But when Michelle Kwan is practicing, I'll definitely be there!

[AnnM]

I'll be there, probably Monday through Sunday. I want to go to as many senior practices as possible, but plan to take at least one day to go sightseeing, etc.

[stogba]

I'll be there Wed through Sunday. I've never been to a nationals before so I am psyched!

[junkety]

I'm going, too -- Tuesday through Sunday -- also my first time at nationals!

Thanks so much for posting when the tickets are mailed. Nothing was said about that when I ordered them, so it's a relief to know they'll be on their way soon.

How do you find out when practices are -- do they post schedules at the rinks?

I'll be there Sunday through Sunday.

I enjoy all the competitions, Novice, Juniors and Seniors. I also attend practices whenever possible. It is great fun to see how the younger group is doing (although at times is painful to watch), and when they get to the senior level you have seen them before.

A schedule should be posted on the USFSA website (and probably on the LOC site as well) a couple of weeks in advance.

[junkety]

Thanks! :) I'm really looking forward to going. My next job is to get a good camera!

9. What is the schedule of events?
The schedule of events has not yet been announced. Check back on this website for the event schedule as soon as it is available.

The above is a direct quote for the St Loius website but the schedule was previously posted and was a nightmare. There were many overlapping events early in the week.

I'm hoping that the schedule is being reworked.

Actually, junkety was referring to the practice schedule. That has not been posted yet.

You may want to check the LOC and USFSA websites to make sure you have an updated schedule of events - they did change a couple events around - originally, the Senior Men SP overlapped with the Ladies. :roll:

Generally, competitions don't overlap with each other, but they do overlap with practices. The challenge is figuring out what you want to see more and making tradeoffs.

I will be attending the Ladies LP w/ my mother. We're staying at the Renaissance Grand. Everything looks nice. Hope all the ladies are in good shape to have a great Nationals this year :)

[junkety]

Hey, I'm glad I'm not the only one who's bringing her mother to nationals. I was the one who got her hooked on skating, so I thought it was only fair to buy two tickets instead of one!

You might want to notice that the tickets will not be mailed out until Nov. 28. There was a printing problem. Its on the nationals website. I was really anxious to see where my seats were since I purchased them the first day they went on sale 3 years ago!

[junkety]

Hmmmm, wonder if my boss will let me take the day off so I can sign for my tickets? :lol: Another drive down to UPS, I guess!

Thanks for the info, stogba!

A revised competition schedule (some of the times of the junior events early in the week have been slightly changed and the Senior Pairs FS has been moved up 1 hour) and the practice schedule have been posted on the USFSA website: http://www.usfigureskating.org/event_story.asp?id=32294
