A general walk down the parking ramp at Beacon St. Garage likely looked like any other summer morning at Boston College. Sunshine splashed Chestnut Hill Reservoir through its humid morning haze as cars hummed down the roads running parallel to the banks of the man-made water supply. Across the street, an early burn lit up BC itself as the heat radiated from Alumni Stadium's aluminum bleachers.
Fish Field House's towering husk rose to the heavens from between the two with the Beacon St. garage sandwiched right between the football stadium and its adjacent practice facility. On its side, the parking ramp once noted as the most underrated place to watch a baseball game baked out under an unforgiving concrete swelter.
