Frozen Fenway - 1/14/17 vs Maine (Alert - Time change)

They have in the past, I don't know for sure if there are for these but I'd imagine so. The view up there would be pretty decent, though far. Still only ~250 up there in total.

I think it would be a neat view of the game...I'd want the ones on the foul pole side though
 
Game is on NESEN+...if you have FIOS in Westchester/Fairfield County it's Channel 97. I expect similar channel for NYC/LI

Sun conditions suck. 1/2 sun 1/2 shade for huska. No issues for maine goalie.

Not exactly sure. Looks pretty even to me being there live. Hard to tell. UConn is chanting more, no doubt. Wish we had are FULL band here for this game.

Wby are we wearing blues when this is supposed to be a "home" game?
We played 2 up @ Orono, they should at least play 2 as the visitors. Game at Bridgeport and this is supposed to be our home games. If so, at least make it appears as so...

The announcers did say we were the home team at the beginning of the game. Not sure why the blue sweaters. Maybe Cav thinks we play better in blue, because we have had some putrid home performances this season....i.e. Yale.

Exactly, Fenway is an especially bad place to host hockey because of the pitch of the seats and the layout. A football stadium is much better because the playing surface is the same shape as a rink, the seats do not come all the way down to field level, and the pitch is steeper. You're still far away in a football stadium, but at least you can see the surface. My educated guess is about 2/3 of the seats at Fenway cannot see the entire ice surface, and about 25% of them cannot see any of the ice surface.

As it is, there's maybe 8-10K in the stands if they're lucky. Not really a bad showing for either team, it was about the same for BU-UMass last week.

In person the views are way worse, the rink is so far away from the crowd its feels like the rink is a mile away.

Yeah, when I went to the BU-BC game in 2010 during the Winter Classic setup I had to watch the entire game on the NHL's makeshift video screen that was placed on the wall next to the Green Monster, I couldn't see the puck on any part of the surface. As dumb as it seems, the ideal outdoor hockey venue in the area would be Alumni Stadium at BC. Very steep pitch, seats all close to the field, the first row is ~5-8 feet off the field, narrow sideline space. Of course there's no luster in playing there, but for a long time before the Winter Classic game, some had been jonesing for a match up there.
 
how much did we get paid for this game? 1.125 million? I hope we got something for this...
 
Offense is non existent in second period. Tough to watch actually
 
Maybe 1 or 2 shots on goal in the second over midway through second
 
.-.
Play has stepped up a bit the last few minutes. Hopefully they can carry it over into the 3rd.
 
I'm SHOCKED at the fact a HE official actually made a good call
 
Trying to do too much in neutral zone no room for stickhandling Through the crowd
