Hard to believe I am rising to the defence of the FleeCenter, but in terms
of who should take the hits for the "tickets only" mailing, don't be so
quick to give brickbats solely to those at the Vault...

Boston University is the "host" school for this year's Last Four.  I think
they should bear at least part of the responsibility for the lack of
"welcoming" materials in this year's mailing, when compared to the last few
years packages.

I shall give the organizers the benefit of the doubt and speculate that
perhaps some kind of supplemental mailing is coming out later (although not
an issue for me as I can see downtown Boston buildings from here in Peabody,
MA and I used to be a Bruins season ticket holder).

I mean, aren't we all looking forward to this year's version of the NC$$ Fan
Experience ????
