Boston Beanpot Tournament

As a huge fan of hockey, I wanted to make sure I made it to at least one Beanpot tournament. I've been to many Bruins games so I thought it would be great. First game, I sat up front and though the crowd wasn't as exciting, I still had a lot of fun! Second game, I sat up in the balcony and the crowd was REALLY exciting...maybe TOO exciting. There were belligerent college students everywhere. I guess that is to be expected but in my section alone, we witnessed people get thrown out because they were throwing peanuts. We also sat in front of four ~20 year olds who seemed to be TRYING to start a fight with people. Some people were just trying to enjoy the game and cheer but there were a lot of people who made that impossible. I still had a great time but we did end up leaving early from the second game because it was getting to be too much for us.

Awesome Hockey!!!! If you love Hockey, This is best College Hockey around!!! The people who work at Garden are the best i have ever met in all my visits around the country!!! The Garden a five star operation! Coach Fuller

I took my 14 yr old son and his buddy for the second year in a row. The whole experience was fun. The student section was great and very comical. The Hockey was fast and furious. The pizza slices were huge, a little pricey but what isn't at these venues. Overall top notch and recommended for any hockey fan. Truly a memorable experience for all.

AMAZING JOB BC!!! You made me so proud to call you my school!

I couldn't believe the enthusiasm and energy that the college students brought to the place. The bands went back and forth playing songs. The cheering was so much fun, even though they over did the "You (name) suck".

This was the first beanpot I've attended! One of the best hockey games I have ever seen! Great game! Great energy! Great atmosphere! Enthusiastic fans and a hard fought game - - for both teams! This is one I'll be talking about for years to come!

We were unable to make the Consolation Game, but we did make it for the Championship Game, and what a game it was. Back and forth scoring Boston College, Northeastern. Northeastern, Boston College. It was a very exciting game. Then coming to the end of the third period and being tied at 6 each. Wow! who will end up champions this year. After only a few minutes, bingo Boston College scores and wins the coveted Beanpot.

good hockey played. some exciting moments. fans in stands great

my first Beanpot..great college hockey. the second match between BU & BC was worth two times more than i paid for my fourth row seat...amazing event. can't wait for the next time.

Way to go Huskies. NU wins Beanpot for first win in 30 yrs. It was a great evening!

This year's Beanpot Tournament final was the best live sporting event I have ever attended. The atmosphere was unbelievable. I say this as someone who held Pittsburgh Penguin season tickets for years and has attended some great Steeler playoff games. Hats off to the BC and BU student sections for making this event amazing. I heartily recommend this event to any hockey fan.

Great college hockey. TD Garden excellent venue. Very reasonable price for two high quality games.

Beanpot is always a great night of college hockey. So many school colors, students, alumni, parents - 2 games, 4 Boston colleges, school cheers and chants led by each school's band. What more fun can you have on a Monday night in February! Where else can you get 2 great games of hockey for 1!

Great time. However, when I purchased the tickets, Ticketmaster did not tell me we got tickets in the student section, which was quite loud and girls were constantly getting up and moving through the rows- very annoying. Overall, good Xmas present.

Took my dad to his first bean pot (actually both of our first beanpots) for his birthday. We've been to the Garden a million times but it was a little different. It was nice to see all of the families with their kids and the fan support from different schools. Both the concession and championship games were great and fun to watch. We had balcony seat tickets but since there were so many empty seats during the first game, we were able to sit closer to the ice.

What a great event each year. We hadn't been in 12 years and it was well worth it. It's like playoff hockey!!!

Beanpot is a classic! The college bands and student section rivalry and back and forth make for some entertaining, and distracting fun. The hockey is always top notch and this year 3 of the 4 games went to OT. Crowds are friendly no matter which team you root for.

Excellent tournament tradition. Great college hockey

Should have been able to pick our own seating area, wasn't asked if we needed handicap seating, our son didn't like being next to band but I found an area on 5th floor that was quiet n was asked if we wanted to watch from a room that was very nice

The game was great! Only issue was that the LED signs seemed to have a malfunction during the Harvard/Northeastern Game!

The Bean Pot is a ton of fun and you can't get a better deal.

Beanpot, what else is there top say ? there is always energy, all 4 teams have a shot to win, always a top Boston event year to year. If you have never been it is a must.

The Game between Northeastern and Boston College was thrilling. On paper, BC should have blown Northeastern out of the water. But they play the games for a reason. Each time that BC gained a comfortable lead, NU would come charging back. It was a thrilling contest, played before a very enthusiastic crowd.

great college hockey,fantastic 2 nights a must see event

One again the Beanpot Championship did not disappoint. An overtime victory in ice hockey is still the best moment in sport. As one team almost scores, the other team counters quickly down the ice with their own scoring chance. The only question is how many times will this happen before the puck is in the net. It does literally keeps you on the edge of your seat. Thanks again BC & BU. NU & Harvard, I look forward to your win in the championship game sooner rather than later...

good seats right in the middle of the BC fan section.

i went to this game to support BU. i was amazed by fans from both teams.I had a good time.

Some of the best College Hockey rivalries anywhere.

EXCELLENT EVENT, VERY ENTERTAINING, ENTHUSIASTICS STUDENTS

Took a minute but from about mid-second period it was fantastic! A great Boston institution.

Great atmosphere, well played game. Consolation was disappointing. The play wasn't as fast or as highly skilled as the Final, but it would have been OK if the crowd had been better. The building looked, felt, and sounded empty. If I remember correctly, the tickets were a flat price, and these seats should definitely have been offered at a discount. I see no reason why the seats can't have tiered pricing like regular hockey games. I felt these seats were poor value, but I might have been willing to pay more for better seats -- or not have felt so ripped off because I paid a flat fee when there were better seats that were either unsold or at least unoccupied.

Best college hockey game I've ever seen. Highly recommended.

The BU vs BC game was great. The expectations going in were high, and those expections were greatly exceeded. My son and I had a wonderful time viewing this sporting event. It was our first time in the Garden.

Any college event is usually fantastic. However, the score was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation. 6.4 seconds left in overtime BC scores to win the Beanpot. Exciting end to an exciting game.

The semi finals- 1st round was fun. the atmosphere of college hockey with the bands and student chants is part of the aurora of it.

Great venue, student enthusiasm is contagious. The hockey was terrific.

Harvard played BU very well and if they hadn't coughed up the puck in the defensive zone twice in the first period they may have knocked out BU. Northeastern looked gritty and tough for one period against a heavily favored BC team and then they sadly got embarrassed 7-1. Too bad. Should be a great Championship game.

Had a blast. Love college hockey, love the energy of the students in the building

Great time as usual! Bu & Harvard game was great but NEU & BC was a blood bath.
