UCONN Providence Game

[jimva]

I am taking my family to UCONN/Providence game this weekend. I am a UCONN Alum and my wife is a PC Alum. Our oldest plays U16 Tier 1 for the Devils Youth organization so we figured it would be fun to take him and his younger brother and sister to this game, our first UCONN game.

Any advice?

Providence 1/20

Providence 1/20

Been there twice. Small rink in terms of capacity. Like 3,000.

Really nice though.
Tickets are usually hard to get, but I see them on StubHub($10 after fees) and i checked a couple of days ago and saw they still had tickets on PC website
($22, i think)

They have a really good pep/jazz band that jam during period breaks.
(My favorite part b/c UConn has lost every time I went)

Can't really recommend any food around there cause I always just went to game and went home.

Have typical chicken fingers and such at game.

I believe parking is free on campus.

Any seat in the place is fine to sit.

I think the "visitor" section is near where the band is set up.

I remember the same thing last year, I remember talking to a PC/UConn alum pair last year as well.

Be prepared for UConn to lose.
Providence is #10 in the nation.

And be prepared for the wife to laugh at you. You'll probably have no problem buying tickets through a walk-up, either.

Really would like to check out the Meehan (Brown) and Schneider (PC) rinks in Providence.

Meehan is nothing special. Reminds me of a smaller version of Bridgeport. Schneider is more interesting. Small kind of old fashioned but in a good way

Be prepared for UConn to lose. Providence is #10 in the nation.

It's great to be wrong.

Hope you and your family had fun

Great experience. Need to try to go to more games, but hard to get back to Hartford from NJ.
