Gophs

While the Gophs pulled it off on Friday at the Music City Bowl, Gopher hockey was only able to split against BU here in Boston over the weekend. They won 2-1 in the last game at BU's old Walter Brown Arena, but lost in the first game in the new Agganis Arena 1-2. I tried getting tickets for either of these games but found that tickets were hard to come by, and when they were on sale on Craigslist, they were super expensive. Oh, this could be because there are only 6300 seats in the new Agganis Arena, as opposed to the 3800 in the old arena.

I do believe Mariucci seats just over 11,000 - just think about that - old arena 1/3 of that size, this one about 1/2. Gee, Boston, I know there are a few college teams in this town but hockey's big here and people want to go to games. Oh hey, let's build a new arena that barely holds any people. Good plan BU, good plan. Bastards.
