Agganis Arena is a 7,200-seat multi-purpose arena in Boston, Massachusetts. The arena was dedicated in 2004 and hosted its first event in 2005. It is home to the Boston University Terriers ice hockey team. The arena serves as a regional auditorium for large events, including ceremonies of other schools such as Berklee School of Music, musicals, awareness events, appearances by speakers such as Barack Obama and Dave Chapelle, and by musical performances which have included Nelly Furtado, The White Stripes, and Avril Lavigne. Agganis Arena is named after Harry Agganis, an outstanding football and baseball athlete for BU and the Boston Red Sox. He died at the age of 26 from a massive pulmonary embolism. The hockey rink is named Jack Parker Rink after one of the most successful coaches in college hockey history. It replaced Walter Brown Arena, located at the Case Athletic Center on the opposite side of neighboring Nickerson Field. |
