Anyone want to do a run through on the Mulins center?

BC

Barn: More of a Basketball arena, but its not as bad as people say. Nice dual scoreboards that you can’t see if you sit higher than on the glass. Glaring lack of simple scoreboard on the sides, so have fun craning your neck looking at the endzone ceiling to see how much times left.

Pre Gaming: The parking lot, duh

Favorite moment stemming from wearing Jersey: Old guy yelled at me for asking about ticket buying. I wasn’t even talking to him. He decided to lecture me about he went to a frozen 4 once. Walsh decided to loudly mock him balding pattern. Moral of the story? Walsh is awesome

Favorite Anecdote: When rolling into the parking lot, roll down all your windows (sunroof included!) and play fight mass as loudly as possible as you get dirty looks from BC people and high fives from (presumably) drunk UMass fans. I love Hockey.

BU

I don’t know ask someone else. I refuse to pay $30 for a ticket.

Lowell:

Barn: Not terrible. Other than the clusterfuck of a lobby, its a nice place to watch a game. Plus, now they have a scoreboard that doesn’t suck, so thats nice. Make sure to avoid the long lines to the tsbathroom

Pregaming: Lowell beer works is nice, but I must defer to the beauty of the parking lot

Favorite moment stemming from wearing Jersey: Not too much, non blog writing lowell fans don’t seem to talk to much, although you will get dirty looks if you celebrate UMass goals during the inevitable wins.

Favorite Anecdote: My friend Jason drunkenly tried to talk to the River Hawk about how it wasn’t so bad that lowell lost, in front of a group of children. Also, durring the game winning goal where NESN went to the UMass student section in the crowd, you can see Jason drunkenly hanging on me. We need to bring him everywhere.

Maine:

Never been. Making the drive next year. Its the last hope of me being punched for being a UMass fan at an away arena.

Merrimack:

Barn: Its the worst Home Depot I’ve even been in. Also, I once confused a Sears for the Merrimack campus.

Pregaming: Don’t. Um, flask? Max and Derek went to the Haverhil brewery and they said it was good, so yeah

Favorite moment stemming from wearing Jersey: A student dressed up like a hot dog asked me how I was enjoying the basement. I honestly thought, for a few minutes, he was talking about Lawler.

Favorite Anecdote: They don’t accept credit cards at the box office. HOW DO YOU HAVE A D1 TEAM AND NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS?????

UNH

Barn: I wasn’t too impressed. Kinda bland in my opinion. Its a nice place to watch a game but there isn’t much to make it unique. Also, parking is a bitch

Pregaming: I was way too sober, sadly. Make sure to buy some cigarettes while you’re up there tho (also, I second Triangle’s love of Porthmouth, great twon)

Favorite moment stemming from wearing Jersey: Triangle lied. Me and Walsh were loud and sarcastic and nobody said a single thing. No looks, and definitely no swings. I was greatly disappointed.

Favorite Anecdote: Making loud jokes about NH crumbling infrastructure. Remember kids, NH is Alabama with Snow. Also known as the south of the north.

Northeastern:

Barn: drool. Love Matthews. Go, seriously, go. You won’t regret it.

Pregaming: Take the train in. And you know what that mean. Have a beer of you’re choice at a bar and then FLASKS ON A TRAIN!!!!!!!

Favorite moment stemming from wearing Jersey: A group of us jersey clad students were put at the end of a dancing montage and the vitriol from the student section was glorious. One of the more gratifying moments of my life.

Favorite Anecdote: we were yelled at for standing by an unnamed man who turned out to be Kubby’s dad who also turned out to be awesome when we finally talked to him a year later. Small world.

Providence:
Never been, but they have some good hookah bars up there, including one close to campus. You may need it after watching Taglia for the next 3 years.

Vermont:

Barn: so, fucking, pretty. Best rink in Hockey east, seriously, so great.

Pregaming: Go to waterbury and drink at the Alchemist. Seriously, drink everything. I only condone drunk driving when it means drinking more at the Alchemist. Its that good.

Favorite moment stemming from wearing Jersey: 6-0 win. Gutterson field house. Yelled at by many, approached by a few. Talked to by a baby wielding lady who thought it was in bad taste to be cheering when winning. Oh wait, can’t process it. Loser. Winning. Bye

Favorite Anecdote: We had a Vermont State trooper guarding our section and I ended up elbowing her in the face while signaling no goal. It was awkward.
