− | The '''Silvio O. Conte Forum''', usually known as the '''Conte Forum''' is an 8,606-seat multi-purpose [[arena]] on the campus of [[Boston College]] in a portion of [[Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts]] that lies within the Brighton neighborhood of [[Boston]]. Opened in 1988 and directly adjacent to Alumni Stadium (some luxury boxes overlook both the stadium and arena floors), it is home to the [[Boston College Eagles]] men's and women's basketball and [[ice hockey]] teams. It was built on the site of the former McHugh Hockey Rink, which ran parallel to the stadium rather than perpendicular. |

− | As the largest indoor venue on the BC campus, Conte Forum hosts larger university-related events including conferences, debates and concerts. It is the site of the annual "Pops-on-the-Heights," a gala concert featuring the Boston Pops Orchestra which raises over $1.5 million for BC's academic scholarship fund. In the event of inclement weather, Conte Forum also hosts the university's commencement exercises. |
||
− | |||
− | Conte Forum is named for former United States congressman Silvio O. Conte, an alumnus of [[Boston College]] and Boston College Law School. The ice rink is named in honor of long-time BC hockey coach John "Snooks" Kelley. The entire arena is traditionally called "Kelley Rink" for ice hockey games. |
