Well, not in Lowell, Joel! We're moving into our brand new on-campus
6000+ seat arena this fall and season ticket holders have received word
that they'll be admitted to the opening one hour early in order to
select their seats. Also, the season ticket price is the same as it was
last year at the old Tully Forum ... namely $117.00 per seat for 18 games
or so. Not too shabby, eh?
 
Of course, with so many college hockey programs in this whereabouts ...
you could hardly consider us "hockey-starved".
