  • Re: Bentley Begins Process to Build On-Campus Rink

    Framing for the seating bowl is going up, giving a sense of the layout.

      Just a bump so that this thread does not get dropped next week.

      Any more speculation on an opening date, and opponent, given that schedule is still largely under wraps?

        Bentley Facilities Instagram feed has some nice pics of the framing from the inside.

        I'm still hoping we can find a way to make Northeastern the opening matchup. A little bird told me that they would be willing to change dates to accommodate us if needed and feasible.

            Seeing the actual dates, I don't want the opening game to be NU as scheduled, as that would be during break. Bad idea to have the grand opening when the students are all out of town.

              Agreed, but as someone mentioned on this thread, maybe the Huskies would be willing to reschedule their visit for a Tuesday night in late January or early February?

                I don't think you want to open your brand new, state of the art, face of the campus facility on a Tuesday??

                  Actually, I think that you might get a much larger student turnout on a Tuesday night than a weekend night. Midweek basketball games have been well-attended over the years, but of course Bentley is a strong basketball school.

                    Anyone have any links to post with interior video or still shots of construction progress? Classes begin tomorrow.

                      The construction update video is all I've seen, if you haven't already. The end has some interior shots.

                        Here is a follow up time-lapse video (July 26th, 2:01 minutes) to the one posted earlier in the summer.

                            Latest word that I have heard is that campus rink is opening the end of January.

                              Current plans for opening festivities:

                              Friday, Feb 9 vs. Air Force: Opening Night, Students Night

                              Saturday, Feb 10 vs. Air Force: Hockey Alumni Night

                              Friday, Feb 16 vs. Army

                              Saturday, Feb 17 vs. Army

                              Saturday, Feb 24 vs. AIC: Donor Recognition Night

                              All subject to arena completion in mid/late January. Everything is currently on time and on budget, which means none of the extras (jumbotron, media facilities, etc.) will need to be scrapped or delayed.

                                And, who knows, maybe the Falcons will earn home ice in the first round of the post-season again. The three wins over the past five days provide some hope.
