It's called Baronville

A new community sprang up last night at the University of Rhode Island. They are calling it Baronville.

Students wanting to make sure they will get tickets to Thurdsay night's URI-UMass game were setting up tents outside the Ryan Center. By 9:30 p.m., seven tents had been put up.

Those students wanted to be first in line when student tickets become available at 10 a.m. Thursday. In all, 1,500 free tickets are kept for each game for students. However, for the last two games that has not been enough and some students have been turned away.

Baronville residents will assure themselves of being first in line.

The game will be ``Celebrate Rhode Island Night'' at the Ryan Center. Among other activities, the World Series trophy will be available for viewing and photos, courtesy of the Red Sox, beginning at 6 p.m.. Pro golfer Brad Faxon will be honored with a ``Community Hero'' Award. Also, Tony Lepore, better known as Providence's dancing cop, will perform at halftime.
