As much as I love the B's it would never be enough to skip a weekend at the lake unless it was a bad weekend weather wise, although it is bike weekend, so you might be on to something
I was in Boston last night with friends and we got a hotel room
But we watched the game went to celebrate, and the whole Boston Proper area was shut down and streets blocked off, also when we went to go to a bar to have a couple more, we could not get in anywhere because the mayor made them shut down when they hit capacity at the end of the second period. And even though people left the bars they were not allowed to let anyone else in

All that lost revenue in an economy like this, if I was a bar or restaurant owner, I would be seriously considering taking some action about all the lost revenue that happened because of this police state action, not even a law but a stern enforced request the mayor put out and sent the police to bars (witnessed it in many occaisions) to tell them to not let people in even if they were no longer to capacity

Also all down near the Garden all those streets with bars and restaurants on them were shut down and cleared out at the end of the game including fanuial Hall and government center

What a waste seriously would never go into the city again to witness something like a Sports Championship, shame on the Mayor for doing this, I think he caused more probelms

Yes have the police force and presence (fully agree with this) but no need to take money out of the pockets of the businessman
