Construction is WAY behind schedule for the new Tsongas arena.  I haven't
been over there to see the progress (or lack of) first hand but I know
season ticket seats are being selected now, even though not all the seats
are in place and the student sections and the section where the band will
be located are still yet to be determined.  Even with all the work that
still has to be done, people are very impressed with what they've seen so
far.
        The new opening date has been unofficially pushed back to early January.
 I'm sure that when an official date is decided upon, it'll be posted.
