Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

Haha, yes they did. Of course, it was never actually #4, so I thought it must have been Glass the whole time.

I recorded tonight's game for any who would like to re-experience it.

Sean Sullivan crossed my mind more than once:o

Or for the insomniacs, NHL network is doing it again at 4am, or NESN will do a 2 hour replay at 5pm tomorrow.

The BC jerseys looked better in person that on tv. No names on the back. Was that because the Red Sox home uniforms don't have names on the back? Loved the BU uniforms. I wonder if either school will sell them or auction them off.

I believe per NCAA rules the schools can not sell jerseys with the players' name so BU would have to remove the nameplates. Maybe that had something to do with BC not putting the names on?

As of now only 26 (1 per player on the team) are in existence, so you may be able to hold on to that money permanently.
 
Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

Parker said post-game that he designed them himself, they are for the players to keep, and he doesn't anticipate being able to sell replicas because of the proximity to Red Sox branding in the font/logos. :D Oh well. :(

Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

Wow. Just wow.

What a great game, a great crowd, and a great atmosphere.

My beer kept freezing from atop the Monster.

BU came out clicking but BC responded.

I'm glad the clock ran out when it did b/c the Eagles wouldn't take "No" for an answer at the end.

Incredible.

I've been to the Orange Bowl, two Frozen Fours, the ALCS, and a PATS playoff game but that took the cake.

It really was a celebration of college hockey.
 
Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

So once upon a time I lived in Springfield and saw lots of great games at Fenway back when you could by single game seats during the season and still be able to have a few bucks in your pocket for a hot dog. It's a classic venue--on par with the friendly confines. A question for you. On TV it looked like a crappy way to see a hockey game--the rink looked a long way from the seats. Did it feel that way in person. Was it one of those games you go to because you want to say you were there?

It definitely took a little while to get used to. Once you get over the odd viewing angles and the fact that you can't see the near side boards, you start watching the hockey and not the stadium.
 
Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

So much fun. I could barely see much going on from my seats 5 rows from the sox dugout, but I didn't care and no one around us did either. We all had a ball, the game was incredible, atmosphere was amazing. Yes, it was a "gimmick game" but that's a one time gimmick that was a grand slam (har har). It should not be a yearly thing, but if Boston gets the Winter Classic again in 10 years or something, bring it back once more. Happy to see BU come out playing with a fire and got some gritty goals that (appeared) to be the result of good hustle plays. I have no idea if Kieran played well or just got lucky because I could barely see anything he did, but the end result suggests he played well overall. That was a fun 20 minute penalty kill in the 3rd. Now where are those Northeastern fans who were so happy they could sit at home and not watch their team play there?

Anything low in the field boxes (where I was) you had limited view of the ice. I feel terrible for anyone in the right field bleachers, especially the lower ones because you likely couldn't see anything. Thing is, the tickets were so cheap ($5-15 for limited view) that for paying that much, just being there is more than enough. The monster seats looked fantastic, and the grandstand ones higher up also looked like you could see things just fine.

I can say that from atop the Green Monster I could see everything. It was cold as hell up there, but I wouldn't have traded it for anything.

It was about $180 for the pair but well worth it.

As others have said, there were great seats for around $50-$90 and bad to ok seats for $5-$15. It depends on what you were looking for and willing to pay. Also there were some great standing room spots that the fans with $5 seats could head off to.
 
Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

Great game. BU played very well as did BC but finally it looked like BU wanted it more. I did notice that BU did play better in the snow and I think that goes back to what someone said earlier, the snow will play to BU's advantage because it will slow BC down. Atmosphere was great. The only downside I saw was there were a lot of people moving around. Students being students want to sit with friends but somehow non students got student sections tickets and want to follow the letter of the ticket. I just saw a lot of moving around with seats. Either way, the jumbotron in left/center field was great for everyone on the BU side.

Another thing that makes me glad now that this game is over....no more cheesy lines about double plays or extra innings in regards to hockey.

Oh and aside from the winning I think the best part was when they announced the entire roster for each team, it was fun to say sucks for each BC team member. I will also be glad to not hear the names corey trivin or kevin shatterkirk again. Although shatterkirk sounds pretty cool.
 
Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

Are they going to be selling replicas of those BU jerseys? They were awesome.
 
Re: Frozen Fenway - BU / BC 1/8/10

what an awesome event, it seemed like everyone there just wanted to have a great time and enjoy it, which was a pretty cool way to view one of these games.

Funnily enough, there was no real anger or strife with any BC people all night, yet when we went to Our House East with a bunch of people wearing BU gear postgame, we came quite close to a massive brawl with a few of Northeastern's finest.
