BU-BC Move Their Clash to Storied Field in January
College Hockey News
CHN Staff Report
Boston College and Boston University, confirming news that was leaked out last month, will play an outdoor game at historic Fenway Park on Friday, Jan. 8, 2010.
The game, at 7:30 p.m., will be preceded by a women's game between New Hampshire and Northeastern at 4 p.m.
Fenway is also hosting the NHL Winter Classic this season, which will take place New Year's Day, one week before the BU-BC game.
“We are very excited to bring college hockey to Fenway Park in this once in a lifetime event. It’s great for the growth of the sport, as we have seen what the Winter Classic has done for the NHL and its fans,” said Hockey East Commissioner Joe Bertagna.
There have been two other outdoor men's games in the modern era: The "Cold War" game between Michigan and Michigan State at Spartan Stadium in 2001, which drew 74,544 fans; and a game between Wisconsin and Ohio State at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., in February 2006, which drew 40,890.
BU and BC represent the last two national champions, and will be the 248th meeting between the famed rivals. New England Sports Network (NESN) will broadcast the men’s game live from Fenway Park.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, Sept. 17 at noon. Tickets for the doubleheader will start at just $5. For more information on the event and details regarding ticket availability, see www.tickets.com/fenwayhockey.

Tickets.com Hits a Homerun with IAAM Event at Fenway Park
It started off just like any other Tickets.com conference social event; great weather, a popular destination and a great group of people. The only disappointment that day was the Red Sox losing a home game to the Baltimore Orioles 6 runs to 2. Scoreboard aside, the Tickets.com party suites were abuzz with a buffet of food and beverages, a surprise appearance of the 2004 and 2007 World Series trophies and a power attendant named Dennis. We better start planning for the next event now if we want to keep up with the fantastic fan experiences!
