    Championship Rally at Gampel (Tuesday Night @ 8:30p) > 2024 UConn Victory Parade in Hartford on Saturday @11a

    I'll be taking the train in with the family like last year. Union station is a 4 min walk from the parade route and you get a great hyped atmosphere on the trip.

    BE tourney tickets....

    You're welcome! It's also the Big East Ticketmaster site which is oddly separate from core Ticketmaster. I'm also selling 2 tix for the Semi-Finals (Friday) in 226 if anyone is trying to lock down that game.

    I didn't have a problem transferring via the Big East Ticketmaster site on the web. Try a browser, that may help out.

    Season Ticket Question

    Gampel sold out of season tickets this season. I’ve been curious if they were going to increase the allotment. This season we had 8,174 for Gampel and 10,812 for XL (including students).

    Best way to get to JFK?

    From Hartford you can take the Amtrak direct to Penn Station, LIRR to Jamaica station, then the Airtram to JFK and whatever terminal you need. Takes about 3.5 hours vs 2.5 driving (assuming minimal traffic) but with a car you then need to park and shuttle to the airport vs being dropped off in...

    New Dorm in South Campus

    Thanks for sharing, they really do build quick. Here’s the final design. I believe it’s a net zero building too, energy from solar panels and heat/AC from geothermal.

    You can make reservations. I've done Black Eyed Sally's, City Steam, and Trumbull Kitchen pre-game with reservations before with no issue.

    Metro North N Haven - Penn Station tomorrow

    Yep, and if you don’t mind switching trains in New Haven, you can take the Hartford Line from Berlin to New Haven for $3. Check the Hartford Line site for the full schedule but here are tomorrow mornings options. Total cost to the city from Berlin is $30.

    XL Center Gambling Lounge Deficit

    Yep that's me, hi! Fun time, though gotta remember to not skip dinner next time, especially when people are buying rounds haha.

    XL Center Gambling Lounge Deficit

    The article mentions that they projected a loss in year one and there has been no advertising yet because of the operator change up. So there is likely still upside. I hope it manages to do well. It's a nice addition to XL and makes it unique as a venue (outside of the casinos obviously).

    $2 Beer night… what a joke

    I take the train to nearly every game. The station is a block from XL, is cheaper then parking, and avoids any drinking issues. Why wouldn't you take the train to XL?

    UConn athletic budget trending in right direction (Dom Amore @Courant)

    I’ll just say that we’ve been playing half our home games at XL (Civic Center) since 1976. It’s literally been 47 years. The split is fundamental to our basketball identify and no other fanbase has such history with anything similar.

    OT: Hartford Train

    Heads up, crazy busy travel day so Amtraks are selling out. The 3 and 5pm trains out of New Haven are now sold out. The CT Rail trains (tickets are interchangeable between Amtrak and CT rail) don’t sell out (they just pack em in or add cars like Metro North). So the 2:27 and 4 (out of NH) are...

    UConn men's basketball tickets are in high demand and prices have grown expensive

    I’ve been wanting these official numbers so happy to see this: ”The public-sale portion of season ticket holders this season is 5,091 at Gampel and 9,083 at the XL. The total numbers categorized as season tickets, boosted by a student and band allotment and visiting-team seating areas, is 8,174...

    OT: Hartford Train

    I take the train to almost every game and will be taking it to Saturday's too. They did adjust the train times and add an extra late night train when UConn hosted the AAC tournament but don't for typical games. So an 8pm tip is pretty much the latest you can have to make the 10:24. Fortunately...

    I’ve got Hartford season but missed yesterday’s game (Thanksgiving travel). I expected typical low-major turnout but damn did it look packed on TV. This team is a wagon, hop on now while you still can!

    XL & Gampel Sellout tracker...

    Yea XL is the better venue for kids who can't stay in their seats the entire game. XL has a lot more space to move around or just take a break from your seat. I love Gampel but won't be taking my kids (4 and 1) there until they are older.

    Individual tickets question

    It’s not fan positive but the explanation is XL is way bigger than Gampel and hence they have a bunch more available tickets to those non-draw (this year meaning OOC) games. UConn thinks they can sell out every game at Gampel. Hartford will be tougher so they are pushing those games in order to...

    Individual tickets question

    I had to call and got 2 singles in the same row a few seats away from each other. Hopefully people will be cool sliding down one lol. I don’t think any seats will be left for the general ticket sale, demand is wild.

    Season Tix Near Sellout

    "Men's basketball season ticket sales are the highest in Gampel Pavilion since the 2009-10 season and in XL Center since the 2006–07 season." "Fewer than 500 men's basketball season tickets are available for the eight-game Gampel Pavilion package." "Premium games will not be available to...

    2023/24 Schedule

    For anyone going to the Zags game (I’m making the trek) tix will go on sale the 19th on the Climate Pledge Arena Site. I emailed the UConn ticket office and they said they will only have a small amount of tix for players families.

    2023/24 Schedule

    Haha true, but when making jokes you usually go with the low hanging fruit. Which for Creighton is they are in Nebraska, which is statistically 90% fields. Don’t take this from DePaul, it’s the best thing they’ve done in 30 years! lol

    2023/24 Schedule

    Nebraska’s ranked 43rd in population density with 25 people per square mile. Connecticut is 4th with 745 per sq mile. Doing the math they are 30 times more “cow town” then we are.

    Update on Sportsbook & Bar @ the XL Center

    The reason the ballpark hasn't developed more is the lawsuit with the previous developer that halted construction. There are massive plans for new restaurants and shops that will go forward as soon as the suit is resolved. Pratt Street on the other hand is in the mist of a billion dollar...

    NC State Attendance

    This was a problem when I was a student from 2005-2010 too. The season tickets would sell out in early August before the freshmen even got to campus and bus tickets were hot commodities and always sell out. There was an entire secondary market for them. It's both good and bad we're getting back...

    Bringing my toddler to the game - any tips?

    I brought my 2 year old to the BC game last year and it was really fun but tough toward the end. Lots of carrying him while we looped around the stadium. We also changed seats a bunch, no way he was sitting still and moving was a good way to keep him entertained. Can she handle such a late...
