Ticket info & Who's going to Worcester?

[billhoward]

100 level = lower bowl at Worcester DCU, formerly Centrum
200 level = upper bowl, separate from lower
300 level = balcony along the long sides of the rink only

100 and 200 level seats are on sale both, so the upper part is open. I haven't seen 300 level seats mentioned, But they look to be less than 1,000 seats if you eyeball the seating chart.

Cornell seats (repeating info above)
101 (corner), 102 (pep band, behind goal), 125 (next to 101, effectively along goal line)
233 and 234 (behind 125), 235 (corner above 101)

Can't tell which end Cornell is attacking. More often I've seen the band (at tournament sites) behind the goal Cornell defends twice. A cursory search didn't turn up which section(s?) BU is assigned to. I think the fact that the Cornell band (and I assume whatever high school BU hires to play) are in the lower bowl suggests little fear of a sellout and the NCAA wants the bands where the cameras pick them up.

It would be nice if the students and band had millionaire (billionaire) white knight donors.  The university certainly produces its share of filthy rich asshole alumni, but one of the characteristics of filthy rich asshole alumni is they're assholes.

IINM Cornell has the lowest alumni giving rates of all the tier 1 schools -- dramatically lower than the other Ivies.  One possibility is we produce a higher percentage of saintly alumni who go into fields for reasons other than money and lack the means to give.  Another possibility is we draw disproportionately from New York City, Long Island, and other myopic, avaricious cesspits of human character.  Another possibility is we realize Cornell is, in all its other aspects except hockey, a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.

Amen! I wonder how many Alumni parents (and other parents as well) get pissed off being billed $15 for a Parent's Weekend badge that gives them the privilege of buying tickets to events that weekend.

Going with a couple old fraternity brothers.  Alas, the one who got the tickets also has a BU connection, so guess where we're sitting.  Might it be the Section O of the DCU?

I'll be there Saturday for sure, in Section 120. Me(2012) my dad ('76), my uncle ('90) my uncle's buddy('90) + 2. Probably won't be able to unofficially improve @abmarks due to the group but we'll bring the ruckus.

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

I will be joining fellow faithful watching on TV from sunny California. Please cheer extra loudly on our behalf. Is there an app for that?

If only there were some special cheer just for BU...:-D

Fans fearing Worcester DCU will sell out its seats, flip to WatchESPN and see the crowd (not) in 10,000-seat Bridgeport arena, 2,500 less than in Worcester. It appears to be under half-full. And Providence, the 2-seed, is only 90 minutes away.

And Bridgeport sold out or nearly so the first year they hosted the regionals.

Official attendance was 4,250.  I'd bet Worcester sees 10k 5hough, being Saturday as opposed to Friday and having better draws

Any thoughts on where to park? There's also a March for Our Lives nearby starting at noon (although should be smaller than the Boston one)

DCU Center is surrounded by public parking garages and lots.

Thanks.

Word on uscho forum is that Cornell returned 104 tickets,  BU 23, Michigan 140, and NU 2. Not sure where the poster got the info,  but there it is.

Maybe Cornell took 2X as many as the other schools, or our fans figured there were other ways to buy tickets.
