Just purchased my tickets for Sunday afternoons tilt with BC. Went cheap and got the $10 tickets ending up in Section OO Row 29. Never been to Conte Forum so dont know how nose bleed these seats are. Oh well. Looking forward to a weekend of college hockey in Boston. Heading out friday to catch Northeastern and UAH friday and saturday night. (NU season ticket holding friend had extra ticket couldnt pass it up.)

I've been trying to figure out whether to buy the $20 seats or not myself. I'm bringing the wife and 3 kids so there's up to a $50 swing for me. I'll gladly pay that if I can be guaranteed good seats but I have no way of knowing either. It's been a long time since I've been to BC for a game.

If y'all haven't seen it, check out Tomas Hertl's behind the back - thru the legs rooftopper vs. Rangers last night. Every kid who has practice tonite will be trying this one out....

If anyone knows folks in the SID office, they might suggest taking down the post-game video clips on the website from last season's playoff loss to Brown.... they need to go away -- permanently.

No bad seats in Conte. Just a little higher then you might be used to in the smaller rinks. Similar size to Lake Placid but no balcony. Just one level which I believe splits at the tunnel where you enter. Been waiting for RPI to play at BC and they put in on a Sunday afternoon!

If you haven't seen the seating chart it might help you decide: http://ev9.evenue.net/evenue/linkID=...ng_charts.html

I'd make my choice based on the location: if you can get $20 seats in A, B, W, X, maybe worth it?

We picked the $15 seats (BB, AA, XX, WW; not sure which).

The other consideration is the ticketing fee. not sure if it is per order or per ticket. I didn't handle our purchase so I don't know that detail. We jawboned the ticketing fee down from published level by pleading with the person on the phone to reduce it.

Also, parking on campus at one lot is supposedly free but at other lots there is a charge.

...trust me, just about every kid has been trying this shot for a couple of years now.....only not on an NHL stage. That was something.

...for 6 months I've been wondering the same thing.

Trying it and scoring with it are two very different things.

Thanks. I didn't realize that was today.

I wish that they stopped playing while OGC was interviewed.

Thanks - I did see the seating chart already and the problem is that you cannot tell how far away from the ice each particular row is. I found a few pictures and I'm convinced that the upper rows of the bottom level are probably OK. Thanks for the other tips too. As with all visits to Boston with my kids, I like to try to take the T though. Can't beat a train ride for extra entertainment!
