    FWIW, Bentley's new arena (with many more real seats) cost roughly the same amount...
    It just doesn't make sense. What a waste of money.

        Because competition is fun? I know fun is a foreign concept to you but some humans get something called "enjoyment" out of competing against other humans.

          Freitas is no better than watching a game at Skate 3. I only had the "pleasure" of seeing a single game there, but I'd rather see them continue to play in Hartford is this is going to be the case. HCC was built for hockey perfect sightlines on the lower level, probably doesn't help they drew under 1K for the Lowell game last year. I can imagine the fixed cost of just opening the building is pretty expensive.

          You know they are going to schedule Lowell for Storrs and leave BC and BU for Hartford.

          Uconn should have taken the money they have ****ed away on D1 Football and put it towards hockey.

                  I went to a UML/Uconn game in Hartford a couple of years ago and thought there were far less in the building than what was reported. There's been a few of nights at the Tsongas where I've wondered if they counted the entire empty student section as part of the attendence.

                      Since they aren't for sale to the publc I would assume that would be the case no different than counting season tickets in the gate number whether or not the tickets are actually scanned.

                        Buddy and I think there’s a portion in there that will basically go to the developer. None of it makes sense. For those of you who view only on mobile. I spent 5 years atUConn getting my Ph.D.

                        I haven’t seen corruption from the school but it smells bogus. As is creating their own facility management group whereas all other facilities are contracted out for arena management.

                        Edit: UConn football was the right idea... they just got screwed over by conference realignment in the arms race. I will defend the existence of UConn football at the 1A level

                          2-1 on the road this year, 1-2 at home. Three weekend splits.

                          Anyone confident we'll do more than 2 points this weekend? I'm a little concerned we might not even get that.

                            Win tonight, tie tomorrow is my ideal scenario.

                            Swayman is riding a 3.36 GAA in 6 games played so he might be in that Sophmore slump early in this year.

                            Insert the usual cliche of its better to score first. Wall between the pipes, some better decesion making from the blue liners and a little more grit.

                            I'd like to see Lohin back on the ice getting at least 19 mins TOI.

                              My "ideal" scenario is a shutout win for Lowell tonight and a shutout win for Lowell tomorrow.
