Northeastern 2024-25: Last Days (Maybe) for the Old Barn

Give it another two weeks, i think the schedule has to be out by end of the month. Guessing you will see a mix of WBA, Bright, Agganis as the sites for our final 5 or 6 "home" games. And that will most likely be the plan for the next couple seasons as far as home games. Seriously hope Sept 2028 is the opener at the new NUMPAF. (2029 is a long way off!)

If those are the sites then you can determine where they play by process of elimination of BU men (Agganis), BU women (WBA) and Harvard men and women (Bright).The only arena open for those games: UNH 1/17 Agganis, Merrimack 1/24 Bright only because Harvard women play at 3pm, UConn 2/6 WBA, PC 2/14 Bright, UML 2/20 Agganis while Bright may host a Harvard women's ECAC playoff, Maine 2/27 WBA, Maine 2/28 Agganis while WBA may host a BU women's playoff game.

Let's not rule out BC for a handful of games over the two or three seasons that we will be on the long road. I believe Agganis has many revenue streams that include concerts, ice shows and similar events that conflict with its ability to allow ice time as frequently as it may be needed and BC played a few games in the barn when Conte was being built as I recall. Clearly the Bright Center is the logical venue for this transition. However I wouldn't mind a couple over at Bentley.

True, but Agganis really doesn't have that many concerts/shows and they only have one permanent tenant, BU Men's hockey. At Conte, you'll be dealing with both men's and women's hockey, as well as men's and women's basketball. Plus practices for all these teams. I'd bet Agganis (and Walter Brown which looks great after renovations) has significantly more availability.
