Anyone know offhand if the gigantic Konyatron will be installed in the new place?

That will probably depend on the shape and height of the new rink. Perhaps there is or will be a simulation video which will show the sight lines from the upper level seats.
On a different subject: l had to miss the Beanpot last due to a broken foot, but I seem to remember loge tickets costing ~$50. This year on the NU website they are offered for $70, or $140 the pair. Is that possible? That would be a 40% hike!

Got mine for the 2 weeks at $130 from BU. I have no idea what price they were last year but my first thought seeing the new price was "wow, this seems more than before." Still a bargain compared to the Bruins!
 
2024: $95
2025: $105
2026: $130

Maybe the new revenue sharing has something to do with it? Just spitballing. Aside from BC, these athletic departments don't have a ton of money coming in.

The renderings show a traditional scoreboard, more like what you would see at Agganis or TD Garden. Not sure if its the same size as the one at Agganis, maybe a little bit smaller. But i can't imagine using old electronics as an integral part of the new place. Plus, those things always seem to be upgraded every 5 or 10 years. I think the one at Agganis is certainly not the original one.

It's the third one!
 
Apparently, a signature piece of Matthews will have a prominent place in the new building:

Matthews Arena archway will remain in new athletics and recreation complex

The archway was designed in the Art Nouveau style, with ornate decorative terracotta titles that were kept through a 1950s renovation.

Ironically, the archway was plastered over and lost to time until a major renovation unexpectedly uncovered it after NU purchased the building.

Prices for the Beanpot have certainly jumped. I'm not sure who sets the price but it's the Beanpot - already sold out. Be warned though, Hockey East tickets have also increased notably. Attendance for that could go either way depending on which teams make it to the Garden.
 
NCAA chances fading fast. NPI is now 20 with likely not enough potential quality wins left on the schedule to help lift them above the cut line. Not good news for HEA either, with only two teams (PC and Yukon) in the top 15, with BC close by at 17.
 
The Stars got a deal on Justin. He's a Swiss knife hockey player. There's always going to be good teams looking for a player like him to strengthen their playoff chances.
 
Our D game plan is atrocious. The D won’t collect a puck 2 ft in front of them and prefers to let Vermont pick up all neutral pucks.

No real passing in these games against Vermont. Just chipping the puck around and generally towards green sweaters. Whole team is straight up afraid to hold on to the puck
