The Best Rivalry in Sports Will Skate at Fenway


Just in case you weren't excited enough about the Winter Classic at Fenway Park, the deal just got a bit sweeter.
In a move that would have made Jack Falla proud, the boys from BU and BC will be hitting the great outdoors and playing on a pond in the midst of a Boston winter.

The Terriers will have a chance to take part in the week-long festivities at "America's Most Beloved Ballpark," when they take on the BC Eagles on January 8th.

(Read all about it with stories from The FreeP, NESN, The Boston Globe, and WEEI.)
The very frozen puck is scheduled to drop at 7:30 PM, meaning that the respective student sections will have even more of a reason to spend a few hours warming up at Cask 'N' Flagon before they pour into the seats.

In case you're wondering, the average high temperature in Boston on January 8th is 37.4 degrees. and the average low is 21.2. The all-time record low is -5.8 degrees -- before the windchill. So you better find a way to layer the clothes heavy under the scarlet and white.

This is going to be one of the coolest events you can possibly attend, and it's going to be significantly cheaper than the pro game on New Years Day. You can score tickets starting on September 17 starting at 5 bucks.

Yes, 5 bucks!

For the price of half a beer at a ballgame, you get to watch the Terriers skate around the infield at Fenway.

Get pumped up Dog Pound, this is going to be a ridiculously fun experience, and Terriers fans should make sure there isn't an empty seat in the house.

The last DI game to be played in the Great Outdoors was "The Cold War Game" between Michigan and MSU. They packed almost 75,000 fans into Spartan Stadium, so Boston better be able to hit 40 grand.
