Uconn-BC Pregame in Chesnut Hill

not chestnut hill but there is a certain pub downtown which has ties to our beloved UConn

Unfortunately the area doesn’t have a ton of bars, but your best bet is Cleveland Circle, which has a couple. Can walk to the stadium around the reservoir before (about 20-30 mins). Last BC game I went to Cityside for brunch and they have a nice rooftop patio.

My recommendation is to put some beers and maybe some sandwiches in a bag and look for a tailgate to join. There will be some UConn fans that are tailgating and some BC fans will invite you to join them.

Seconded, and if you don't mind bringing a styrofoam cooler you are willing to sacrifice even better. In the small parking area behind the south end zone stands where BC students sit there is a grass island where BC tailgates will be set up (have assumed they are big donors) but there should be enough room to put down your stuff. (See photo) As much I despise BC have always found the people to be congenial. Also, two years ago UConn had a pregame event in a large room at ground level in one of the nearby buildings.

Our governor, a BC alum, and BC's Jerry York and others are the main reason UConn is in Hockey East. Yes, I know that Gladchuck black balled us. But he is gone and I personally have forgiven them even though you may not have.

In 2016 we did a bus trip to BC and the fans at the tailgate area were great. We ate some of their food and drank more than a few of their beers. After they smoked us 30-0, the students in the dorm areas we had to walk through were not as nice to us....not nice at all, but whatever. They were drunk college kids after a big win.

Gene DeFilippo and the college head in the 2000s (Leahy?) kept us out of the ACC. Both are long gone but the bitter aftertaste remains.

Yeah, whatever, the point stands, they are both gone. Leahy will do whatever the AD wants and as long as it can be shown that the risk of losing money is low. At the moment BC seems to be positive towards UConn.
 
Any word on how tickets are working for the game? We’ll know what time kickoff is tomorrow. I see the UConn ticket website has a link to buy, has anyone gotten them through that? Hoping we take over Chestnut Hill like Fenway but I want to try and get in our away section for sure

There will be plenty of tickets available on the secondary market. BC is scheduled to play Clemson and Notre Dame at home this year, so season tickets sold out. Clemson and ND fans will be selling and add in the fact BC is having a bad year and you can get tickets for $11 on StubHub.

Purchase 8 last week. The site only allows you to purchase 4 tickets. I called the ticket office to get the 8 tickets together and was told that larger groups were reserved for bigger donors. I then just got another member of our group purchase the other 4 . I am sure that we will not be that far away from the other 4 in the group.
 
What’s our section gonna be? A quick Google search says section O is the away section, but I’m not sure if that’s up to date or not
