but it's still a better deal than a Bruins game.
Even a cheap bastard like me that eats at Qdoba before entering the Garden can't go 6 hours without food. So the $45 is really $45 for a ticket, $20 for minimal food and drink, and $40 for parking = $105. If I want to bring one of my boys, it is now $170.

Maybe they need something for the upper few rows of the balcony like they do for HECs, but the tickets they cut the prices for are the upper rows at the ends of the balcony and those fill up with students. Yeah, maybe the parking/concessions/etc turns some people off but it's still a better deal than a Bruins game.
I missed the first 4 minutes of NU's game for the first time in ages, I had to work and couldn't get out in time to make it there for the 5:10 start. I also left in the 3rd period of the late game. I agree with those who think holding it the day after Super Bowl Sunday hurts. There are plenty of weeks I'd have stayed later but after getting home around 11:30 on Sunday I wasn't going to be stuck there for OT. As much as I love the Monday tradition it does make for a rough start to the work week when you're out that late and still have four days to go. The first Monday is especially rough with TV timeouts for both games and the 5:10 start.Legally drunk???? If its "legal", what's the ------- problem?!? - George Carlin

Re: Boston University 17-18 - thread El Segundo
Hockey is SO great in person, I'm not buying the "It's on TV" argument. It's always been on TV.
I'm going with a nasty combo of Super Bowl hangover, cost, and diminishing general interest in college hockey (not that it was ever huge, but....)
Solution: Dismantle the Pats so they go back to the 3-13 days, lower ticket prices, and make sure BC and BU are top 10 teams again. Solved.It Happened!!!!

Originally posted by defkit View PostI'm trying to think of games that his father won in OT, and I can only come up with one - a home game against Maine his freshman year (I believe Jean Yves-Roy returned the favor the next night (or the night prior)). For all the big goals he scored, and he did score a bunch (25+31), I don't think there were many in OT (calling Mr. Pickett...). I remember him scoring in the last minute or so against Merrimack his freshman year to cap a furious comeback. He had hat tricks against BC in the Beanpot and Clarkson in the national semis in his sophomore season. Maybe a road game against Northeastern? I'm probably missing an obvious one.Boston University CAS'88

Originally posted by ericredaxe View PostIt is a viscous circle too. The lack of crowd / atmosphere makes it even less exciting to be there and i would think makes some people less likely to attend next year.
Originally posted by defkit View PostIt would never happen (well not for a long time), but imagine the atmosphere of a Beanpot at an arena like Agganis. All of a sudden, you have hard to get tickets again, much louder fans and bands.
