BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

Thanks for the advice. A friend is coming down from Northeastern. I'm coming in from Newton and was thinking about picking her up, but maybe she should try the T. Any word on how that is going; what sort of time to expect?

The Green Line so far is OK, though it's usually slow as hell on Friday evenings anyway. I would strongly advise not trying to drive from Newton to Northeastern to BU. I fully expect downtown up through Kenmore/Comm Ave to be close to gridlock.

Yes, the garages will be mostly full from the track meet and what have you, but that doesn't change much that the street parking is all but nonexistent. Don't even bother trying the side streets in Brookline, those are barely plowed to allow one direction of travel, much less two, much less additional space for parking. Perhaps a meter further down Comm Ave towards Kenmore, or the Warren garage, or the lot next to Sargent would be a good option if Agganis/below New Balance Field garages are full.

Kenny Rausch @usarausch tweeted:
Feb 13, 1995 20 yrs ago-last Beanpot played in the Boston Garden. The REAL Boston Garden! Game of my life, will never forget it! #timeflies

It was a 5-1 win over BC. Rausch was MVP. IIRC, Matt Wright scored the game-winner that night and also the game-winner in the HE title game, the last college hockey game played at the old Garden.

That's exactly what happened. Honestly wouldn't shock me if a ref or two is late tonight, the traffic on Comm Ave, Beacon, and the surrounding neighborhoods over the past week or so has been brutal. If you're driving in, don't expect to get street parking, unclear if the parking ban will be in effect (Comm Ave is one of the banned streets), but the mounds are so huge there's barely any room. It sucks, but this is a game to just park in a garage and be free of worry.

Garage won't be full, will it?

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

There's a track meet going on so I'm going to say probably. I'm on the green line now and Comm Ave is kind of a parking lot from Kenmore to the BU bridge.

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

According to Twitter, UNH isn't here yet. Have they been watching different news reports than everyone else? Why they didn't leave earlier is beyond me.

ETA: They're here now.

So, tonight, Herlofsky or McKersie?

I'm close to bailing. 2.5 hours from the north shore so far.

The agganis memory clip had an employee #6 sighting

Any garage reports?

Mookie pulled in at 6p and the top wasn't 1/2 full yet.

Re: BU Season Thread II: The Resurgence

Of course nobody can GET to the garage so what difference does it make
