Silvio O. Conte Forum

Eagles
Overview
Conte Forum is the home of the Boston College Eagles basketball and ice hockey teams in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Opened in 1988, the multipurpose arena adjoins Alumni Stadium on BC's campus and converts between a basketball and hockey configuration across the season. Its steep, wraparound seating bowl keeps ACC basketball and Hockey East crowds close to the action. Game days often bring back-to-back doubleheaders between the two flagship programs.
History & Legacy
Named for longtime U.S. Congressman Silvio O. Conte, a Boston College supporter, the forum has hosted decades of ACC basketball and Hockey East competition since replacing BC's earlier on-campus arena. It has been the site of numerous Beanpot-adjacent hockey milestones and ACC basketball rivalry games since the Eagles joined the conference in 2005. The building underwent renovations in the 2010s to modernize its concourses and premium seating. It serves as the centerpiece of Boston College's indoor athletics program.

I like the architecture. Not a big fan of the bathroom setup. Neat setup with the trophies and hall of fame being in court view. Needed more student section action

Decent views, 100% a primary hockey venue but the atmosphere was good. It was comfortable. Decent sized. The food was ok. And a great basketball experience.
