Lot A is underground behind the arena and you take an elevator up. Lots of traffic getting out of that lot.

When you turn into Buick St. off of Commonwealth Ave., there's a private lot immediately on your right. That's you best choice for easy in, easy out, but get there at least an hour before game time. It sells out quick. IIRC, same price as the BU lots... $10.00.

Thanks !!!!

Scarlet: Thanks ...
if I get there at around 5:00pm should I expect space to be available in "A"? I would imagine a sellout and just trying to gage if things will get filled up in a hurry.

Lot A is pretty big. I've only been shut out of it once for a sellout game (BC/BU always sold out), when I haven't gotten there in time for my private lot. If lot A is sold out, go to Lot B at Walter Brown Arena. Lots of room there also, a short walk to Agganis and easier getting out than Lot A.

I have not found Lot A full very many times at all, and I'm typically arriving around 6:30, although the weather is going to be crappy at game time so that may result in more people driving in.

Will Union bring a lot of fans? With the exception of BU/BC, Agganis basically never sells out… especially when the students are gone.

With it being Saturday, meters are free after 6, so if you get there at five, you can get any meter on Comm Ave, pay something like $1-2 in quarters for an hour, and you're all set for the night.

Forgot that school is out for BU. Hard to figure turnout. We usually have a solid turnout for Harvard at Bright-Landry, maybe 400-500, tops.

Re: BU season thread I - 2014-2015

I totally don't get what your issue is here ericredaxe. I don't think any arena with the exception of the Whitt has that. And if you have a ticket to the game, why aren't you in your seat watching it? Agganis does have standing room areas, limited though they may be.

I always have liked the Whitt and Dartmouth's building, but recently spoke to a coach who disagrees.

He thinks it takes the hometown "strollers," as he called them, up on the mezzanine, out of the game. I see his point. You may still be watching the game, but you're not as engaged. He wants his fans in their seats, creating some energy.

Not really an issue, I had just commented on something that I thought was better about the Whitt than Agganis. Sounds as if Dartmouth has these types of larger standing room / gathering areas too... as does Conte (behind both ends), Lawler (at least pre-reno). Outside of college hockey, Fenway has this, Yankee stadium does, I'm sure there are plenty more. I think its a nice feature.

Not every fan is going to be glued to their seat participating in each and every chant / cheer that goes on. Despite what the Dartmouth coach says, it is sometimes nice to be a "stroller".... watching the game, standing in an area other than your seat (particularly if you have friends seated in other areas of the arena).

I would highly doubt it. Let him rest. Plus, whoever was going to play in his place - let that guy get some icetime.
