Uconn-BC Pregame in Chesnut Hill

[Milo65]

I’d rather uber in and give my business to a local bar.

That's your best bet! My son went to BC (still kills me). Only high rollers and students in the Mods near the stadium. Cityside in Cleveland Circle is close to the action and you can walk to the game from there. About 20-30 min.

On game day, the Mods have guards at the gates checking residency to enter.

must look like Stalag 13

Yes, tall iron gate around the property with two or three entrances with guards and RA’s

Heard through grapevine (and not 100 pct confirmed) UConn alumni not having an event on BC campus as they did 2 years ago.
As far as game tickets: they are dirt cheap on gametime.co (no M at end of url).

 

[Spsone07]

sounds like it would be rather difficult to tailgate. Is there a preferred bar to meetup?

Yikes!

This will be my first game at BC. It should be interesting. I just hope we win.

This thread is awesome!!! Its so friggin bad up there. ACC should have never made the move they did to add them. And honestly, how do you even attempt to fix that if your BC? The only way is TONS of money, and a brand new stadium and fan experience with enough room for tailgating.

BCU still donating $ to the Archdiocese of Boston. whoops.

It’s a lot like Georgia Tech, but with more tailgating space. The stadium is decent for college, not a bad seat. We just walked onto the campus the last time we were there and they had food and beer trucks. No place to park on campus without a parking pass, and the side streets do not allow parking. Take an Uber or the Green line to get to campus.

This is the corner BC allots and sends to the opposing team. It's also the side that's most in the sun.

Don't drive and expect to park anywhere near their campus unless you've pre-bought parking. All campus lots are taken by permits and the police enforce no parking on side streets extensively. Park somewhere else and take the green line there. The B, C, and D lines are all walkable. If you park at Riverside and take the D, Chestnut Hill is the closest stop.

I just realized who you are. The guy who had some epic battles with Bostonians on the USCHO Forum, back awhile ago? Am I correct?

Not sure? Which Bostonians was that person battling? I am one myself.

Parking at Riverside Station definitely a sound option. Can confirm previous post that the Hammond Pond Parkway formerly free option is no more (road was narrowed from 4 lanes to 2 to add nice 2-way bike lane w/sidewalks). If you don't mind a walk, SpotHero.com has some reasonably-priced spots east of stadium. snagged one a little closer to what's shown

It's times like this I think about making an account on X.

The usual loudmouth suspects on USCHO. In the very early days when UConn had just joined HE.

Might be me 🤷‍♂️

Well done. I wonder how they like UConn now?

I live outside of Boston and had this game circled on the calendar. Then, my daughter told me that it's Parents' Weekend at UMass, where she's a student. So, rather than celebrating the BC beatdown by the Huskies at BC, I'll be watching UMass try to keep up with Buffalo.

Been there, done that, suck it up, lad. There is always beer.

You would think the City of Newton would sell parking spaces near the stadium instead of banning parking everywhere
