so i think getting food in the SBA would be a wise thing to do.

trust me i live two blocks down from the SBA
There is a McDonald's on Cass St. That's DEFINITELY walking distance.
And there's a few pizza places and chinese food places that are also down the street (opposite direction, but you can't get lost). They're only like 3 blocks away. My team walks there every year. And, there's actually a whole list of places to eat if you don't want concession food here: http://www.nycnjfirst.org/nj_restaurants.html

I do recommend the box lunch deal though, it's not that bad. A sandwich, a piece of fruit, a bag of chips & a soda. It's WAY cheaper than concession stand food, and you don't have to walk in the freezing cold.

My mom has been talking to the guys who work at the SBA (apparently she knows a bunch of them), so the NJ Planning Committee IS working hard on it. There's even a possibility that they may purchase their own flooring to go over the ice.

Regardless, you have to prepare for the cold because it will still be on top of ice. IT WILL BE COLD, there's nothing we can do about that. Our team wears 2 pairs of socks and a sweatshirt/long-sleeved shirt underneath our team shirts. We all know it sucks, but at least you KNOW about it. Which means you can take the appropriate actions to better protect yourself.
