GUIDE TO THE N-ZONE In a unique setting in the Colonial Athletic Association, the N-Zone surrounds the home court of the men s basketball team. With more than 500 student-only seats directly on the floor, the N-Zone creates one of the most intense and passionate atmospheres in the country. Northeastern fans have been recognized as some of the most creative, proud and ardent fans in the conference. Although the main focus of these diehards is to help protect home court, the N-Zone often organizes viewing parties for away games and, whenever possible, takes to the road with the team. For four days in the beginning of March, the N-Zone travels to Virginia for the CAA Tournament with expectations of cutting down the nets, and demonstrating the true meaning of devotion. The N-Zone is the student-only supporters section located on the floor for all men s basketball games. You must have a ticket in the N-Zone to sit there. Seating is general admission in the N-Zone only. Follow the N-Zone on Facebook at facebook.com/northeasternnzone - 12 -
GUIDE TO THE DOGHOUSE Seated right on top of the opposing goalkeeper, the DogHouse occupies Matthews Arena in support of the men s hockey team.

Through the highs and lows, the DogHouse stands by the team with an unwavering spirit that is routinely acclaimed by opposing coaches and members of the media, particularly during the Beanpot, the premier in-season college hockey tournament. Join your fellow Huskies and be part of the best fans in college hockey. The DogHouse is students only. You must have a ticket in The DogHouse to sit there. Tickets become available online one week prior to the date of the game. Seating in the DogHouse is general admission. Northeastern shoots twice at sections 42-48.
