Harvard Big Red Boulevard

It is PACKED here. Rolled up at like 6:03 and the line is insane.

Work in progress )

Passport complete, bear keychain obtained, done in time to watch warmups

I'm just hoping Schafer isn't going to have to give the student section another between-periods scolding over the PA like last year, when the "FUCK YOU HARVARD" chants droned on for nearly the entire game.

It started up once, but died out pretty quickly.  Thankfully.

yeah. It was the disorganized mess I expected.

not nearly room to even get around.

Some people went to the food section and found empty tables?  did they actually sell food over there?

20 min wait to get a donut.

lots of people with beers though

they needed about double the space to make it enjoyable for what little there was to do there.

They definitely did need more space. And also more time, which would have helped the space issue. If they do this again, they really should open at 5:30 or even at 5:00.

The merch was great!
Hope they have more of it in the store

The other problem is that there were lots of people who didn't want to go in there, but they roped off the normal entrance and forced everybody to go through the circus.  It caused a big back-up in the hallway outside the "boulevard".

They definitely sold food in the back. Saw tacos and mac and cheese. Definitely agree there needed to be more space but I found it enjoyable

I'm planning to roll up around exactly 6, mostly due to the bus LOL. If anyone else will be there, please give a shout, I'd genuinely love to meet some of y'all

Before you meet anyone you have to list what you think that person looks like based on their posts

That's cyberbullying, HAHAHA.

Just got a survey for the Boulevard experience - sharing here for anyone who was at the event! I assume it hit everyone's emails, but just in case.

Personally, I tried to emphasize the crampedness of the Boulevard. Definitely felt like there wasn't enough space. The event itself was pretty fun - it's not meant to be something super intense, just a fun way to get into the mood and unwind before the game. I think it succeeded really well at that. The younger Lynah patrons all seemed delighted, the current students seemed to enjoy it as well, and even the older folks appreciated the atmosphere.

Call me a grumpy old man, if you like.    But,I come to a hockey game to the game itself.    I was not pleased that they routed us into "the boulevard" when I came to watch a hockey game.   Nuff said!!

If this becomes a regular event they will learn from it and improve.

I thought they let people in other entrances to just get into the game

There was a bypass once you got through the lines into the gym.  I would have liked a game only entrance as well but if not I do wish that there were more defined lines for getting in instead of people everywhere and nobody really knowing what to do.

Yep.  My take exactly.
