Re: Hockey East Semis: #2 UMass-Lowell vs. #8 Notre Dame

Does anybody know the ticket situation for Notre Dame? I'm guessing there won't be much demand to travel out to Boston on short notice.

Doesn't ND have their Tournament Central site up and running yet?

I know all the local ND wanna-be's will be out in full force but that's the tough thing about being so far away, how many real ND on-campus fans like actual ND students would even be able to make the trip?

Getting in the building wasn't a problem when it was the "beanpot" a few years back, shouldn't be a problem now.

What? You guys weren't planning on this since October? What kind of fans are you?

We were given 500 that changed to 600

Are we going to hear this every year? I thought this was an upgrade over Detroit?

So looking forward to this. Crowd should be fun, like last year when no one was rooting for BU (except BU fans) against us, I'd think it would be the same this year ... everyone should be rooting for Lowell as people don't want ND to win (except the obvious of course).

This ND teams scares me. They played us real tough when they were short-handed due to injuries. Now ... yikes.

We bought tix at the box office 2 hours before the game last year, shouldn't be a problem getting them especially since there isn't a team from "on the green line" playing!

I wish I could be there. 5pm Friday is a killer when the drive is 13 hours...

Hopefully the refs will call all the "clutching and grabbing" ND does.....the longer they swallow the whistles, the more they do it....They are tough enough to play and when the refs "let them play" mentality takes over, they thrive....GO LOWELL!!!!

All the bars in Boston will be thrilled that all the students in the area have a free night.

I don't mind rooting for Notre Dame. First of all, they crushed the BC Menace, so give them their props for that. Next, Lowell plays butt-boring hockey. I'm happy for their success, but if everybody emulated their style we'd be seeing half the games end as 0-0 ties and the other half as 1-0 final scores.

It's also spring break for Lowell this week. Hopefully the students that are still in the area will make it Boston.

yeah... doing my usual search of such things... acela to boston would be 259 dollars

edit: next week, the short list of plans would be....

Worcester: Fly to boston, rent car in boston, stay w mom and dad
Bridgeport: Train to Bridgeport, convince kingdobbs to let me stay with him, failing that hotel
Cincinnati: Fly to Cincy, looking for you guys for hotel support
Minneapolis: Same as Cincy

Very unlikely I'll try to come up this weekend unless the stars aligned.

Less clutch/grab and more clog/congest lately to be honest. Should be a good chess match, and UML's scoring balance will require a different approach than BC's top-heavy attack.
