For my first Beanpot I was given seats in the front row. I knew
there'd be problems with the corners, but it was better than the obstructed
view/hunch over at the waist to see half the ice/court seats I always had
for the Celtics and Bruins. Little did I know some extremely obese guy with
a photo pass would create an obstruction bigger than any beam ever did! The
feeling of the Beanpot that was different from other Garden events was that
it was college hockey Oscar night in Boston. It was cool to be there and
even cooler if you won. The Garden was fun because unlike some arena's I've
been to, the crowd loved sports. Even the suits in the stands were fans.
Now there's just more room for the wait staff to tend to the corporate
slugs who sit chatting, oblivous to what's going on in front of them. Bleh.
Here's hoping the Fleet gets a personality.
