Boston University season thread - strike 3! last man there turn out the lights.

The 1949 trophy is freakin' awesome. Too bad it's not in there all alone.

How much does a trophy case cost? I saw some nice glass cabinets at Jordon's this past weekend. Put it on Buddy Power's Visa. He'll never notice.

In hindsight a memorabilia/ trophy case should have been planned into the arena.... Trying to think where they would put a case that wouldn't displace vending etc.

So, I was at the BC-MD bouncy ball game last night (don't judge me.) and I took a stroll around the concourse. And there they were in a nice display case. All the hardware. Explain to me again why BU doesn't display the National Championship and Hockey East trophies?

BU: If Ya Got it, Flaunt It

Always wondered the same thing, just another one of the ridiculously dumb decisions made in Agganis. Maine also had a really nice display of everything that I got a chance to take a look at over the weekend, whereas ours are buried in the bowels of the arena. Aren't the title trophies in Parker's office? Can't we find a place to display the Hobey trophies, HE titles, and the NCAA's along with perhaps some photos of the teams and coaches? This would be a stellar addition to the arena.

Downstairs lobby so everyone who comes in sees it?

How about in three weeks we just close off Jack's office as the bu hockey museum?

Would have been a no brainer too to put in an actual room with walls for a pro shop

Another thing they should have kept up with.... Remember the caricature type of prints of all the seniors that were in the aisles of WBA? Have they kept up with those anywhere since moving to Agganis?

They are in the Friends of Hockey lounge.

They do continue to do them also and are available at the Hockey banquet.

I believe those are either in the Friends Lounge or in the hallways that only Mookie has access to.

I forgot about the Hobey's.

BC's display is well done. Complete with some great pictures.

How come done of y'all goofballs attend the foh banquet and get your own prints?!? Mookie loves his!

Mookie would put in along the ice where the wheelchair peeps sit. You could go see it during games, be like monument park at Yankee stadium.

I prefer to randomly throw black ink at a sheet of paper. Comes out with almost the same likeness as the sketches.

Yeah, that's a shame they didn't do that. Agganis is ok as an arena, and I haven't been there for a couple years (maybe since opening year) but I found it...dunno....sterile? Even UVM has the wall displays of some of their achievements. Lowell added them to the Tsongas after we acquired ownership of the building. You guys have done so many things, it's a shame not to flaunt it.

I don't think Agganis is "sterile." It is the nicest building in the east, quite frankly. But, as most things in life, it could use some improvements.

Things it does well:

• Site lines
• Beer
• Pretty pictures (Former Terriers in the NHL and All American pictures are well done.)
• The Olympic wall
• Beer
• Great scoreboard (when it works)
• Pretty Banners

Things it lacks/Are in Need of Improvement:

• Ice Cream
• Food in general (Price and quality)
• Lack of a trophy case
• A relentless forecheck
• Ticket Price

This goofball spends the majority of his money on going to the games and doesn't have much left over to spend on donating to the level required to get an invite/pay for the ticket to go.

They do have the really nice displays of All-Americans, NHL players, and Olympians, but walking around the concourse it doesn't necessarily scream that it's BU's arena. Walking around The Ralph, which is of course an extreme example, you can't mistake that this pro-quality arena is UND's. Now, I'm not saying BU should import scarlet and white marble and implant ten logos into the concourse, but some better logo signage, perhaps a few more of those murals going around, and as mentioned, a prominently displayed trophy case of various program history and achievements. If you just did a 360 around the concourse, you'd have no idea that BU has ever won anything.
