UMass Lowell has sold over 1000 hockey season tickets, thanks to Marty Meehan's challenge to bring more people to the Tsognas Arena. With the goal set at 2000 tickets, support for the hockey team between students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends has been extraordinarily strong, thanks in part to the hockey team staying in the Division 1 Hockey East conference and to the "See You At The Tsongas...Or Else!" advertising campaign. The initial 375 top tier club seats sold out in two weeks, and that number grew to 850 at the beginning of September. In addition, 260 regular season tickets have been sold as well.
Dean of students Larry Seigel, Director of Transportation Marie Gaine, and Escort Services Coordinator Josh Conover have devised a new plan for the school's public transportation system, which will be put into effect on October 1st. This system splits into four lines, Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. The Red line will carry students between South and East Campus, the Blue Line will carry students between North and South, the Green Line will go between North and East, and the Yellow Line will go between Pleasant Street and North. The new system is projected to reduce travel time between campuses by 40%. The buses will run from 7 AM to 6 PM, with additional buses used during peak hours, and the Escort Service will run from 10 PM to 1 AM. Transportation to Gallagher Street, East Meadow Lane, and Tsognas will be available upon request.
On one last note, I'd just like to remind everyone that UML's Homecoming Ceremony takes place on Saturday, October 6th from 10 AM to 4 PM in the Lexter Cushing Complex on UML North. Have a good time!
