BU 2015 Offseason Thread-To quote The Clash - Should he stay or should he go?

I've advocated for lower pricing on these boards for some time. They have tried some discounted tickets etc and maybe need to do more. You seem like the chronic malcontent type of fan though so I'm not sure they could do anything that would please you.

I've spoken with a number of other ticket holders now and (other than comments on this board) I have not heard one negative reaction to the 4:00PM games.

Mookie was afraid they would turn the remaining 7p games to 2:30p :p

Well, you can talk to me. I think the 4:00 PM games are a great idea. The best idea they've come up with in years. The game will end by 7:00 PM, now the rest of the night is available for dinner, a couple of drinks, etc.

Amen, brother. I've said it before. I have two boys that would love to go to 4-5 games per year with me. I wind up taking them each once, and I get to a couple others on my own. The sole reason we don't go to more is the cost. I live in the North Shore area, so I'm going to be more focused on getting to the away games at UML, MC, and perhaps UNH.

Not sure the last time you went to Merrimack but last season tickets there cost $25. Is $25 in that crap arena for that team a better value?

Looking at some other teams websites, I'd say that for the most part, BU's regular ticket prices are in line(ish) with the other college teams.

In addition to doing some promotions as they do, I'd think where they could improve would be on things like offering youth ticket prices, family packs and young alum single game ticket prices.

Are you sure you just don't want to get a head start on your evening nap? :D

We postpone the evening nap when there's an opportunity to enjoy the good taste of beer.

Last time I was there, you were too! I guess I didn't pay attention to the fact that they were charging the same now as HAA.

Look for Chris Dyment to take over Hockey operations

Sad news. BU's first two-time All-American, Jack Garrity, passed away today. Set a national scoring record as a sophomore with 84 points and scored 85 goals in two seasons. Led BU to two Frozen Fours. Parker had him fly from Florida to Washington to deliver a pep talk to the 2009 team at the Frozen Four. I'd imagine others have Garrity stories to share.

Thanks for posting - that's too bad, but it sounds like he was a great man and had a long life. I hope he enjoyed seeing BU pile up the wins last year wearing the same uniform he did while he was on Comm Ave.

RIP

Chris Drury was named Director of Player Development by the NY Rangers today. A true winner at every level.

Correction. He's not Greeley's boss. Steve is assistant director of player personnel. Drury is director of player development. Nice to see Captain Clutch back in hockey.

I had a feeling. While I think it is great to get a gig for Chris, I thought it would be odd for him to be in a higher role than Greeley, since it seems he hasn't been involved in hockey since he retired.
