Quick count of green dots: around 450 left in lower bowl.
They'll probably open upper bowl corners for walk up sales.

Let's get more than the 5,225 we got on Tuesday.
It's the 1st time ND has played @ XL. Let's scare the crap out of them with our crowd.
Tell your friends.

Crowd is dead. Students need to learn how to cheer on their own team. Adults like myself are too old to cheer and scream all the time. Yes, an on campus arena would help, but would it? Student section doesn't do anything. Silence means they are paying attention, which is great, but not 1 "let's go huskies". I'm right near the student section...

That was not a major. Just like the BU game. Dirty move by ND player @ end. UConn on PP to start 3rd. Still 1-1

Considering they chopped the size of the student section in half this year, yes, an on-campus arena would likely draw many more students and create a better atmosphere.

Not trying to argue, but did they really? Section 109 and 110 right behind goal opposite of fan bar are students sections right? How did they cut it in half?

Is the bottom of 109 and 110 only for students? Seemed like the whole section was all young kids to me.

Don't you worry, I did my part. When Warde Manuel was leaving the game , I screamed: "ON CAMPUS RINK, ON CAMPUS RINK!!!"

He looked over and acknowledged it by putting his hand up like " yeah, yeah, I hear ya"

I think we are starting to see where the attendance is going to be at except for maybe BC...that 5200-5300 range. On-campus should be around 4500 with the ability to expand 500 (maybe even 1000 if possible) more seats if and when needed.

8-10 at new XL and rest at on campus 4,500 with another 500-1k or so standing room set up. I really like how they have the standing room at the whale (Yale's barn)

Every game so far , I've sat next to or around new people that never been to a college hockey game before and having a great time and some saying "I'm getting season tickets next year". I saw a "Never been to a hockey game and buying a jersey and all the goods" Again also some complete UConn noobs. I was 1 last year. Never been to a UConn event and now hooked. Follow them on campus to other events. That is a good. So, if this team keeps winning, I could see us avg 6k+ We were what, 5,814 last year.(can't remember)

4,404 - ASU
5,225 - BU (+821)
5,190- ND (-35)

4,815 avg as of 10/27/15 (3rd in HE)
4,940 avg as of 10/31/15 (3rd in HE)

Hate to admit it but that penalty by the defenseman #2 Pratt was definitely a 5 minute major penalty. He was lucky he didnt get a game misconduct and get tossed.

Per the seating chart here: http://ev9.evenue.net/evenue/linkID=uconn/core/seating_charts.html 110 is for students. Last year, it was listed at 109 and 110.

ND's last goal was shat too. He tripped the defenseman in the corner and it allowed him to get to the front of the net for the goal unabated. No call leads directly to their second goal. But we have to get more than 15 shots off. I think we had 9 in the first period!
