Connecticut
Connecticut () is the southernmost state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States. It is bordered by Rhode Island to the east, Massachusetts to the north, New York to the west, and Long Island Sound to the south. Its capital is Hartford and its most populous city is Bridgeport.

College Rivalry
Pairs of schools, colleges and universities, especially when they are close to each other either geographically or in their areas of specialization, often establish a college rivalry with each other over the years. This rivalry can extend to both academics and athletics, and sometimes even politics, the middle being typically better known to the general public. These schools place an added emphasis on emerging victorious in any event that includes their rival. This may include the creation of a special trophy or other commemoration of the event. While many of these rivalries have arisen spontaneously, some have been created by college officials in efforts to sell more tickets and support their programs. Definition of a sports rivalry Rivalries traverse many different fields within society. A rivalry develops from the product of competition and ritualism between different parties. A rivalry is defined as "a perceptual categorizing process in which actors identify which states are s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Brooklyn Ice Palace
The Brooklyn Ice Palace in Brooklyn, NY was an indoor ice rink. The venue was used for multiple events over the years but it primarily functioned as a home for figure skating and ice hockey. History The rink was one of the world's largest when it opened to great fanfare in January 1917. With the United States entering World War I just months later, the ice palace became significantly less important. In March of the following year, the state ice controller ordered the place shut in order to save ammonia and other ice making equipment. After the war the Ice Palace was converted into a 2,500-seat movie theater with space for a pipe organ and a symphony orchestra. It was one of the first known theaters with a cooling system. The venture wasn't profitable and soon fell into bankruptcy. The theater was reopened in 1921 and operated until 1937 when the interior of the facility was remodeled back into an ice rink including an eatery called ''The Skaters Inn''. The new facility opened ju ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
