15:46
Buy tickets and get settled in the Gene Polisseni Center. The RIT Tigers play hard-hitting hockey, and arriving early lets you soak in the old-school atmosphere before the action starts. Note that the men’s games are more expensive, but the energy is worth it.
16:31
Walk five minutes northeast to the Crittenden Kickball Fields. This open park space offers a clear view of the western sky. As you stroll from the campus, the setting sun paints the area in warm hues, giving you a quiet moment to stretch your legs before heading back.
17:01
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. On January 15th, the sun sets toward the WSW at 17:01. The Crittenden fields provide an unobstructed view of this daily spectacle, marking the end of the day’s light.
17:16
Return to the Gene Polisseni Center. The evening game is underway, and the stadium lights contrast with the fading natural light outside. Stay for the final period to see if the Tigers can secure a win.
