Des still l works at the HC? MA's topical and refreshing agenda free coverage has been a bright spot this year.

Des covers all non-UConn college sports for Courant.
 
So one of the streets (Landsdowne? Yawkey?) is blocked off for UConn tailgate right? Is it free? How much beer can I bring in? Aside from Ryan’s thing, or am I thinking about Ryan’s thing?

Except for the ACC which pays BC over $20 million to be part of the conference so they never have to move a home game just for money. Still not sure how Uconn moving a home game 2 miles from BC's campus is a bad thing for BC.

If Uconn wins, this will be a great for Uconn's profile in Boston, maybe. Because, as is often posted on this board, Boston does not care about college football. Not sure how many tickets have actually been sold to the casual Boston sports fan and with it being on CBS Sports Network, not sure how many will actually watch.

Notre Dame moved a home game against BC to Fenway. It was good for both teams. Sold more than 38,000 tickets.

Sounds like 38,000+ is the capacity for football at Fenway. 25,000 just doesn't cut it. I wonder if Fenway is gong to lose money on this game.

UConn Alumni event (open to all from earlier post by them on here) is in the Game On Fenway bar/restaurant (Lansdowne St).

Ryan’s tailgate event is @ Lir on Boylston St in Back Bay (< mile away).

Why does it say Fenway Park and not UCONN in the end zone?

The field has been painted the same way for all the games of the Fenway Gridiron Series. Brown was home team versus Dartmouth last weekend and it was the same way.

You have a point here. For the ND/BC game, the end zones were painted blue and had “Fighting Irish” outlined in gold on one side and “Notre Dame” on the other.

Difference is the ND game was a one off. This is part of a series that started with Dartmouth Brown. Them Maine UMass then UConn BC and finally a bunch of high school games. Sort of like frozen fenway

That wasn’t part of the Fenway Gridiron Series - that was under agreement for the Notre Dame Shamrock Series Game.

Hard to top the money they probably made from the Dartmouth/Brown game, that's for sure.
