BU expects to start demolition on or about April 1st on the FLH. There are several contractors that are already getting preparations underway inside. Soon as they are done with the inside stuff, the outside operations can get underway.
This is probably one of the dumbest scheduling mistakes I've ever heard of ... how could you possibly book up an arena when the possibility of an NIT or CBI home game could be played on these dates? The dates have been known for quite awhile. I'd be shocked if "Disney" would draw better than a BU game. But the PCC has that right, so whatever. This leads to a bigger question ...
This is multiplied by the fact that maybe BU should have used its collective brain and not ripped up the Fieldhouse before the basketball season ends. You're going to tell me that leaving the seats in an extra week or two would completely throw off the construction schedule? Honestly.
To be forced to play on the road is just plain stupid. Let's hope this is just a one year mistake and never happens again for any BU sport.
So you think several months ago the CC should leave open the the month of March in case the Braves get in to a tourney and get a couple of home games...heck we get two home games now...and they could have easily scheduled events....
If BU wasn't "handing over the keys" until April, then they certainly could have waited past the last regular season home game to tear stuff up. You're going to tell me it takes that long to disassemble bleachers? BU doesn't have the manpower to do that? Sounds like a really lame excuse to me...
They've been doing work on the inside of the building for more than a month now. And no, I don't think BU has the manpower to do that in a week instead of a month.
Considering the quarterfinals for the NIT are on the 25th and 26th, I don't think BU figured on playing another game at Carver after that, which is why the Disney deal is coming to town after that. I'd guess the Disney thing was booked before BU had any thoughts about the possibility of hosting a CBI semifinal game.

This part of your post I complete agree with! How sweet would it have been to send off the Fieldhouse with a men's basketball game!
As for Disney outdrawing Bradley, well they do have multiple shows scheduled and it would most likely affect future Disney bookings if the PCC were to pull the rug out from under them at the last minute and delay their scheduled setup.

Oh by the way ... check ticketmaster. You can still get close seats on any of the first few days of the "Ice Show." So, they've likely sold 5,000 seats MAX ... which would certainly be less than a BU game.
You can also get pretty good lower bowl seats for Monday's Bradley game.
