For the past few years some serious construction has been going on within minutes of my house. Quinnipiac University has been building a field house.
Tonight, we carried the QU/Yale hockey game on one of our TV stations, and my fellow anchors and I drove up during dinner to take a look see.
The TD Banknorth Sports Center is a twin facility, with large venues for hockey and basketball. In separate arenas, Hockey sits 3,300 and basketball 3,800. Tonight’s game, SRO, checked in around 4,000.
This is a thoroughly modern, substantial, sports facility. Even from my perch way up in the press box, the game was well seen.
I’ve been invited to come back for the grand tour, and I’m sure I will.
Quinnipiac is working hard to become a major university. They acquired the University of Bridgeport’s law school and are already succeeding in sports. The campus, snuggled in the shadow of Sleeping Giant Mountain, is as pretty a campus as I’ve ever seen.
I wished they paid taxes at the same rate I do.
Tonight’s game was won by QU 5-1.
I attended the Quinnipiac/Yale hockey game as well. It was a very exciting atmosphere. The TD Banknorth Sports Center was packed with the proud fans of both teams. The building is gorgeous, too. I plan on going to many more hockey games to see the Bobcats compete in the future.
I am a Hamden resident who loves the Bobcats. However, I enjoy watching the basketball as well as the hockey. The women’s basketball team just won the regular season league title. I am hoping that the men’s hockey team does well in the ECAC playoffs. We are all very fortunate to have Quinnipiac University and its D1 sports teams right down the road.
