At least it’s not cancelled, but bummed it won’t be broadcast.
I think Bryant has a bubble over it’s turf.

Hope there's a bubble (why not the Luth??).
Predicted 9PM temperature tomorrow night in North Smithfield- 15 degrees.

Probably at the Bryant Indoor Practice Facility. The one that collapsed during construction.
Too bad the game cannot be played at the Luth IPF. The field is not of the required length needed to play a regulation. NCAA game. Unfortunately the additional cost to add 20 additional yards to the Luth IPF would have added at least 8 million dollars to the cost for construction.

BC WLAX (also defending national champion) opens their season next weekend at the Full-Size Indoor Football facility against number 4 ranked Northwestern.

Not really Full Sized, the roof is not high enough for kickers and punters to practice. You may not have noticed, most IPF’s used for football will have a goal post suspended for practice.
Just hope the Bryant IPF does not collapse again with a strong wind. Big Bad Wolf may be in the vicinity.

The truss in the current HC cost 2 million each. To add 3 additional truss would have cost 6 million. With the additional steel for the structure, plus building materials, roofing, additional turf, excavation cost, HVAC, electrical. lighting and labor probably run another 1.5 to 2 million to the original cost. At that point, a consideration would be made to widen the footprint to allow seating for spectators, so the cost of each truss would have increased to possibly 2.1 to 2.2 million each. By the way, the new Dartmouth IPF opened in 2020, is an 85 yard field. Maybe you should aim your snide remarks regarding their facility to the Ivy Board. After all, with Dartmouth’s endowment, they could have built a 120 yard facility. It is still the only one in the Ivy League. dartmouthsports.com/sports/2020/11/13/indoor-practice-facility.aspx Waiting to see the UNH IPF. Sure it will have your name on the dedication plaque as a major donor.

This discussion about indoor facilities is off base. Lacrosse ought not start this early, but it certainly shouldn’t be played indoors. No school’s indoor practice facility has enough sideline and end line space to give the right experience so unless you have a dome like Syracuse, you have to play outdoors.
All that said, let’s hope our guys light up Bryant’s bubble with 15 goals

Sure it will have your name on the dedication plaque as a major donor. The additional 20 yards, if extended on the south side, would either have come very close to or infringed on the right-of-way for the high-pressure natural gas pipeline that circles the southern half of the Luth. A regulator for this pipeline is on Avon St, near mid-ice on the Hart rink. Extending the Luth 20 yards to the south would have also meant that the road circling the Hart would be pushed southward too, into the soccer field/stadium.
To extend the additional 20 yards to the north would have become expensive given that the gradient slope on this part of the hill. Foley should now be aware of this as he previously proposed siting the new softball field where the existing gradient is so steep that 'his' outfield would need 50-060 feet of fill to be level.

I have been to the Bryant bubble, the team scrimmaged there years back. It is a practice bubble. The lighting is poor, the sidelines and endlines are covered with netting and to say it’s tight would be a complement. The LUC is far superior in all respects and is an outstanding facility. Lax is an outdoor game; sun, wind, rain and cold are part of the sport. so saving $2-8M for the extra footage was a wise decision, IMO. I was hoping they moved to a midweek evening later in march, similar to the previously scheduled games against Brown. But both teams will be playing in the same conditions, and with a couple of unexpected hoop Ws today, keep the karma going. let’s go boys!

One more win and we would have been National Champions had that been 1985. UNH won two games to win the national championship in 1985. The fact that Foley is somehow trying to work a UNH women’s national championship in a 4-team tourney in 1985 before 1157 people into a discussion about 2022 indoor practice facilities is pretty funny.

I assume Worcester's like Metro West - this really wasn't a snowstorm, it was an ice storm.
Straight snow removal like what would have happened after last week's storm is different from what's on the Father K turf right now.

A couple of thoughts: 1) Seventeen Fidgety Conferences while the PL membership is carved in stone. I'll take the latter. 2) Eye opening to read that UNH has no men's lacrosse but that doesn't stop Mr. Foley from putting down HC's team. That man could slap an insult on a galloping horse as it sped by without losing his balance. 😊

Giving up seven goals to a fifth year senior who entered the season with 31 career goals in four seasons is a little scary. HC even won 20 out of 28 face-offs and still lost by that large of a score.

I pledge to read up on the rules of Lacrosse when either the M or W team gets above .500. Which I wouldn't mind being this year.

We have had success in thePL, the women and men have both exceeded the 500 threshold. The women in 1999 and not since prior coach Stephanie 2006-2014 (not in 2008) and the men twice in 2017 and 2019 both under prior coaches. The mens team has a challenging schedule, so patience, in what is the first full season of competition, is required. Next up is Syracuse - a top 10 team and then a game at Michigan. The first 5 PL games are against all fully funded schools with 3 of those in the top 15 and the other 2 in the top 25. That is ranking in the country — competition that no other HC program faces. PC is fully funded. So the initial 8 of 9 games are against fully funded programs. They may not get a W until 2/27 v. Merrimack and then not agin until 4/9 against Lafayette. Be patient. goholycross.com/documents/2021/12/13//All_Time_Results_2021.pdf?id=7314goholycross.com/documents/2020/7/22//All_Time_Results.pdf?id=6862
