Yep...just got back from Tsongas to get my tickets and was told the announcement was going to be released very soon

Probably in the minority here, but I'm glad Lowell (and Amherst, as this was a system decision) are taking the lead on this as far as Hockey East goes. It's the right move.

Maybe with the stands empty the team will think it's a road game?

We have confirmed that we will be able to offer a free stream for any games that are played in empty buildings and not televised on NESN. This includes Game 1 of UMass/NU and all games at UMass Lowell vs. BU. Stay tuned for How to Watch info coming soon! https://t.co/OY8Ghd8rfU

They are following advice of Public Health officials to decrease spread and decreasing risk to the players.

See multiple stories about what is happening in various pro sports as I type.

the NBA I completely understand.

That being said, until there's more local cases I think they should hold off. Further, public morale is going to tank and I'd like to limit that as much as reasonable against the contrast of the issues.

I think we generally have similar goals, its how we get there.

A lot could happen between now and Friday night. Given the way things are trending I wouldn't be surprised if they ended the season.

Waiting is a poor choice. I have no energy to type all the facts and reasons for the nth time. Recommend you either go listen to the guy from the NIH, the guy from the WHO or read one of the threads on here where people are posting.

If you think we should pretend things are better for awhile to boost morale then we definitely do not have similar goals. I want to prevent as early as possible, even if people whine their life is interrupted.

Agreed. Large gatherings will help spread this faster. So stop the mass gatherings. Seems simple.

I have heard that access to the CBS app for Hockey East QF games will be made available for free, so you can still watch the games if you download the app.

As much as this all sucks, it's the right thing to do.

NBA and MLS have suspended their seasons. Just waiting for NHL and MLB to do the same.

NCAA Tournaments will be played (as of now) without fans.
