For the past month, Fish Field House offered a climate-controlled hunting ground for several Boston College programs. The location next to Alumni Stadium offered simple convenience for teams accustomed to fighting for practice time under the bubble, and the building most associated as a laboratory for Jeff Hafley's football team turned into a home field advantage for athletes looking to escape the cold. Last Saturday, for example, it hosted the No. 1-ranked women's lacrosse program's win over cross-town Boston University one week after it watched the defending national champion cruise past fourth-ranked Northwestern.
But on Saturday morning, the roofed structure closed its doors and brought its more familiar sounds back to life.
