John Davis write: You're absolutely right, I'm sure, about the excitement the tourney creates in the Boston area. But after the regional importance, I'm not sure what the big deal is. If I was in Boston at the time of the Beanpot I would no doubt try to get tickets. This has more to do with my love of the game than any want to soak in tradition. ========================================== Good luck, John. Unless you're a student or an alum of the schools involved, it's next to impossible to get tix!!! :-) ************************************************************************** Steve Weisfeldt Univ. of Lowell 1986, 1988 Home of the 'Hawks!!
