UMass Lowell 2014-2015 Season: The March to March

[Middle Street]

Any advice for me when I come up Friday? Food, parking, what time I should try to get there. Thanks

I also recommend Beer Works. It's the closest place to the arena and the beer and food is good (they make their own beer on site). I would recommend getting there between 5:00 and 5:30 at the latest because it fills up and the wait for a table may be too long by 5:30. Also if you get there around 5:00 there should be plenty of metered spaces outside the restaurant for a $5 event flat rate.

There are other lots and a garage to park for $10-15, but try to get a meter first.

Edit: The lot parking rates may be even more expensive. I didn't pay attention last week.

One of the lots is 15$ :EEK:
Miss the days where I parked by the abandoned mill (now expensive lofts). Gentrification sucks!

The lot across from Beer Works is $15 (goes to $10 on nights where they're not expecting a huge crowd). The street parking is relatively cheap, but please note, if you're going in for the game, there's a $5 (I believe) event charge on the street parking as well.

If you are willing to walk, the parking lots in Cumnock (no parking attendant) and Southwick( gate goes up) open up at 5 PM for free weekend parking. Its about a 15 minute walk to Beerworks/Tsongas from North, but just for awareness sake.

The spot to get food is cobblestones. Not far from the Tsongas. A 5 minute walk maybe? Parking has already been stated but if you're early, a metered spot is definitely the way to go. Beerworks food and brew isn't bad at all but Cobblestones is the better option in my mind.

Echoing others, Beer works is the closest with good beer and decent pub fare. If you're willing to walk 10-15 mins, my two current favorite restaurants in Lowell are Fuse and Tremonte. Fuse is funky eclectic takes on traditional dishes paired with creative drinks and local brews. Tremonte is great Northern Italian and the best Pizza I've ever had in Mass outside of the North End. They are casual, reasonable priced and right across the cobblestones from each other on Palmer Street.

Off topic: America East adds four schools as associate members in field hockey.

The America East Conference announced today that four institutions - University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Davis; University of the Pacific and Stanford University - have been accepted as associate members for field hockey beginning with the 2015-16 academic year.

Does one of the freshman start in goal tonight? Any word on McGrath?

Yikes. If nothing else, it opens up a recruiting market for AE schools.

Boyle wasn't tested really all that much by BC as surprising as that is to say. I would think Bazin would like to get him a bit more seasoning before he sent out one of his freshmen? If he did though, home would surely be the place right? Definitely something I'll be interested to see.

I'd like to see Smith tonight and then Boyle on the road, unless Smith were to play lights out tonight then give him both games.

Re: UMass Lowell 2014-2015 Season: The March to March

See I think it would go the other way, Boyle tonight, Smith tomorrow. My logic is Norm will want to make sure to get the win at home (especially on the first night), and will be more comfortable with Boyle in net. If we win tonight play Smith tomorrow night because we would be promised at worst a split. If we lose tonight than playing Smith tomorrow makes sense just to rotate after a loss. Seems like the best scenario to me.

The anthem thing was so cool that I was thinking it would be a tradition they should continue. Would love if that happened every time!! (did feel bad for the poor woman who was supposed have her moment)

That was Jillie Martin; she's had lots of moments and will again I'm sure

Still love remembering the Boston Globe prewriting the article about how they beat us and accidentally publishing it before the game. It was taped in every locker and Lowell handed BC their hats.

Yeah, that was pretty awesome That wasn't the same year BC had that NESN documentary where we swept them was it?
