Is the Dunk as dark in person as it is on TV? The corners that are behind the goaltenders nearly look pitch black. Can't imagine it's even up to standards if it's accurate.

Maybe they're going for the classic feel of an old, poorly-lit barn?

If i recall the early season meeting harvard was healthy and BC was without demko and santini.

Regardless, guess denver must be leaps and bounds better than when these two played back to back 2-1 games on denver's home ice.

The arena looks like it's being illuminated by Tikki torches.

Well in that case ditch the glass for some wire!

I've seen better lighting at a Black Metal concert.

I think they have an HD board, which would make this the complete opposite of Manchester's well-lit, terrible scoreboard rink.

Isn't it fun to play in minor league rinks?

I've never seen a hockey arena as poorly illuminated on TV as this one, and as someone who lives in this sad sack state, it's a disgrace this game is on national TV for everyone to see. Rhode Island has given the NCAA another reason to go back to campus sites next year lol

Intentional to hide a thin crowd? I don't know, since I can't see the stands!

They did a close-up at one point to the right of the BC goaltender. The two players against the glass looked like they were standing in a dark closet with a spotlight beaming down on Demko. It was THAT bad.

The Dunk is always darker on TV. It's just as bright as any other arena when you're actually in it.

Re: East Regional-Miami University, Denver, Boston College, Providence

Even if that's true, they might want to think about installing lighting that doesn't look like garbage on TV. People are dumping on it all over the place online, and with good reason.

"All over the place" meaning a few people on a college hockey forum?

Advantage to DU... Magness is terribly lit on TV as well
