I was there!
My father gave my brother and I his tickets so that he, being the loyal UMASS alum & hoops fan that he is, could attend the opening of the Mullins Center the same night in Amherst. I never quite understood that decision, but I was happy to be the beneficiary.
It was pretty interesting seeing the old Garden try to put on somewhat of a modern media event. They pulled it off well enough.
Really fun event. I still have my stub and some of the goodies from the gift bag.
