Below, we provide some updates on the 2009-2010 schedule.Season ticket prices have not been announced but reserved seats were sold out last year at a rate of $117 per seat regardless of age. General admission season tickets were $78 per adult ($39 per child).
Last season's home schedule included 13 games in Newman Arena (seven Ivy opponents plus South Dakota, La Salle, Boston U., Quinnipiac, Ursinus and Bucknell).
The 2009-2010 home schedule will once again include the seven Ivy opponents as well as Seton Hall, St. Joseph's and Bryant. Other home games are still being negotiated.
St. Joseph's is reporting that it will visit Cornell on December 6. Obviously the date would be very attractive because Cornell students would still be on campus. And while we know Cornell will host St. Joseph's this year, the December 6 date does not seem logical. Cornell is schedulled to play in South Dakota the following day. In other words, one of these dates will probably get moved.
Below is a glimpse of the 31 projected games on the Cornell Big Red's 2009-2010 schedule. All games are tentative until formally announced by Cornell Athletics.

After looking at the Yale and Princeton schedules, it is possible to piece together the following League Schedule for the Red:
15-Jan Columbia
22-Jan @Columbia
29-Jan @Dartmouth
30-Jan @Harvard
5-Feb Yale
6-Feb Brown
12-Feb @Penn
13-Feb @Princeton
19-Feb Harvard
20-Feb Dartmouth
26-Feb Princeton
27-Feb Penn
5-Mar @Brown
6-Mar @Yale
It would be very creative of the respective ADs and coaches to move that 15-Jan game in Ithaca to Tues 9-Mar. Controversial, but creative and student friendly. There’s a real chance that it could be a decisive contest between two teams in the Upper Division of the League that would be an easy Newman sellout. Spring term starts 25-Jan. Spring break starts 20-Mar.
Moving it would also open some mid-January dates that might better accommodate the five games that currently lack assigned dates. There is also the likelihood of easier travel to Ithaca in mid-March than in mid-January.
