Tsongas Arena transfer could happen as soon as Friday
The transfer of the Tsongas Arena from the city to UMass Lowell could happen as soon as Friday, City Manager Bernie Lynch told the Tsongas Arena Commission yesterday.
Lynch said he anticipates the terms of a purchase-and-sale agreement to be in place "later this week or early next week."
UMass Lowell spokeswoman Patricia McCafferty said the university has set Friday as its self-imposed goal.
If an agreement is reached, she said, it will be announced on Friday night at the Tsongas Arena during the UMass Lowell Riverhawks hockey game against Boston University.
