My college buddy's niece plays Division One basketball for Lehigh. So when we saw that Lehigh would be playing at Holy Cross, it seemed like a golden opportunity to reconnect, spend a few hours catching up, and watch some high quality college basketball. I've always had a warm spot in my heart for Worcester. That's where I started my professional career when I was assigned there in the late 70's. We lived in Worcester and Shrewsbury for a decade before we relocated to Connecticut. Holy Cross offers an amazing ticket deal for the women's basketball games -a ticket, hot dog and a drink for just ten bucks. We bought the tickets through their website, tickets were e-mailed to us, and they scanned the QR codes on the tickets to get into the game. The refreshement stand had us on their "watch list" so we picked up our dogs and sodas without a hitch. The arena is beautiful and looks pretty modern. The scoreboard and video screens are top notch and they have fan participation activities for the kiddies during game breaks. All in all, the Hart Center gave us a solid consumer experience for a low budget price.

The event we went to didn't encompass the entire venue, so only a couple of doors were open. Their website let us know which doors would be unlocked. During our visit it had snowed previously and the walkways and steps around the building were not yet shoveled. At all. Walking down snow covered stairs does not feel safe and there was no other way to get to the door we needed to enter. By the time we left the event, there were two people outside shoveling those stairs. So they did get to them. Parking is paid, either on-street or in one of the nearby parking structures. Large, gender specific bathrooms were by the exit.

Lines for bathrooms are very long - they definitely need more women's rooms. Food is typical for arenas, but the lines can be long. The DCU center is clean, and the seats are comfortable with cup holders. It's easier to get here than to Boston, and I've even been lucky enough to find free street parking.

I was trying to treat our entire department crew to a fun night out and not have to worry/pay for Boston parking so I figured Worcester might be easier. It was like pulling teeth trying to book a "luxury" suite. The greenhorn "representative" constantly had to be corrected about the game dates and then wanted me to pay without seeing an agreement. Lo and behold, the price was way more than I was quoted over the phone. All set, WooSox and Polar Park. Good luck with your ridiculously high prices. You realize you're a triple A operation and not on Lansdowne St., right? I miss the PawSox...
