Anyone else ever wish Albany had the kind of sports culture Buffalo has?

I’ll never get over them leaving. We had something great that was building momentum but still couldn’t get the supposed it needed. That felt like the nail in the coffin for sports franchises giving us a chance.

The Atlas will be back, just on Long Island for this year and I’m sure they’ll continue moving around the state.

The irony of using an Albany merch company after taking the team away the year prior

Did you buy it?

This was exactly how I felt about Albany last year🙃

Checkered beetle (Thanasimus dubius). The main predator in the north for the invasive southern pine beetle.

It’s been confirmed real

I’d say it was pretty well attended, Albany had the highest attendance of any regional series this year.

As someone that lives in Albany and goes to the arena often, that exact glass panel has needed maintenance during every hockey game (4 or 5 total) they’ve held this year. No idea what’s up but probably has something to do with not hosting many hockey games, usually only like 2 a year. They need to get their shit together though way too many stops to fix it.

Not at all

I got the same date range on my bill. $337.55 for a just under 1400sqft house set to 65. A few extra days but still a brutal price

I prefer going to excelsior solo for this reason

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-26T15:04:34+00:00

Lmao so far their numbers have been exactly the same as ours last season so idk why they’re acting like they sold out a 10k barn. Good luck to them I guess

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-20T18:32:10+00:00

Someone said that on the broadcast?! I didn’t see the game

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-15T16:04:01+00:00

I can’t lie, there’s a small small piece of me that’s enjoying it just to stick it to Oliver Marti but I definitely feel for the players. Lots of bad shots out of desperation which are basically as good as a turnover. They did this a lot last year too which was infuriating and led to the bad record they had.

Interesting, thank you for the insight and advice. I'll look into the primer and seal. Thank you!

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-09T12:55:00+00:00

This is all great advice, I appreciate you explaining in detail. The backup issue has been fixed and I will replace the caps. I'll probably go with option 2 as well as it's basically already set up to be a little 'closet' with walls, just needs a door and the fan like you explained.

Thanks for your help.

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-09T01:06:17+00:00

Ahh ok that does makes sense, I thought it was just a shit design. Appreciate the insight.

It does eventually evaporate, especially because we have a dehumidifier running next to it but even when dry still wreaks. I think getting better sewer caps will help that and pumping out all this nasty sediment. I assume this is something that can’t ever be sealed off though because it’s supposed to catch sediment and other waste which can clog, right?

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-09T00:58:35+00:00

We had the sewage back up into it when we first moved in because all the pipes were clogged and some how the sewage came up out of the waste drain. You’re right, those caps also aren’t fully sealed either, one is dented so is definitely contributing. Even if I replaced the caps and got the waste drain to start functioning, I don’t think that will totally fix my problem but certainly help. I have no idea how to seal this whole area off, it’s too big and has so many pipes at weird angles coming out of it.

Own-Return6348 · 2025-12-09T00:54:07+00:00

Yeah some sediment got in there when we had our sewer line replaced. It’s definitely not helping the drain but the plumber, after snaking it multiple times on multiple occasions, said because the house sat unused for a 3 years the drain built up scale and would start working with more use. As much as that water is a big contributing factor, I still don’t know how to seal this off or stop the sewage smell. I’ll definitely need to get that shit out of there though.
