                                                                                                   CONFLICTS WITH MULLINS CENTER SPORTS EVENTS à à

ATTENTION !

THERE ARE ALWAYS UMASS SPORTING EVENTS AT THE MULLINS CENTER THAT CONFLICT WITH OUR ICE SESSIONS AND THESE CONFLICTS ALWAYS PRESENT PARKING PROBLEMS.  LISTED BELOW ARE THE DATES WHEN THERE IS SUCH A CONFLICT.

IN ADDITION, THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN THERE ARE OTHER EVENTS (CONCERTS, PLAYS, ETC.) IN THE MULLINS CENTER MAIN ARENA.  HOWEVER, I AM NOT AWARE OF THOSE DATES.  THEREFORE, I CANNOT INFORM YOU OF THEM. 

OUR SESSIONS WILL NOT BE CANCELED ON THE DATES LISTED BELOW.  We are, however, trying to work with the Mullins Center to allow our members to park in the lot down below the main arena building.  You will need to identify yourselves as Skating Club of Amherst members in order to gain access to this lot.
