The student tickets Twitter page said navy tickets are going fast. Hoping that means the students will overflow the student section and more.

Not much left on the UConn website from what I could tell.

I just took a look. If the green dots are accurate, then maybe 35k sold. I'm not convinced they show all the remaining green dots in some sections however.

I don't get the rush to create these threads. Is someone giving out cookies?

Just a curiosity question. I'm feeling guilty for not having renewed my season tickets this year (not for lack of commitment to the program but due to other funding issues) so I just wanted to see where we're at.

Green dots are not to be trusted! I recall a few games last year that the green dots were as sparse as the fans in the 200 sections.

Didn't classes like just start this week or something? Maybe students will really show up in full-force to get away from the stress of back to school week?

School has been in session for each home game. It started the week of Nova. With that being said, I'm sure that some kids hadn't gotten around to getting tickets yet, weren't sold on the team being watchable, or didn't feel like coming around until UConn played someone noteworthy. I'd expect a pretty good showing from the students this weekend...however, I think we'll have to wait for a Friday/Saturday night game until we see the students come in droves.

Students have been pretty good first 2 games not concerned with them. I am concerned with who will be in the sections packed by the HS bands and P&W peeps the first two games. Filling that corner above/around the visitor corner has always been an issue unless Cuse RU WVa are in town. What group will be filling those seats?!

Don't trust green dots. The ticket office selectively disburses rows/sections to better spread out fans and make the stadium look more full.

On a slightly related note, I was pretty disappointed with the showing of Army fans. Hopefully the Navy fans represent a little better.

You got the sub base down the street a ways, be nice to see a slew of them show up.

Yeah definitely much fewer than I expected. Shouldn't be too surprised though. Take the cadets out the equation and we dwarved them at the stadium.

Right, because they probably didn't put big chunks or entire sections on sale. They try to funnel you together.

exactly.

so that probably means ticket sales are closer to 28k-30k.

I'm a Rent Rat and I look across at the UConn sunny sideline and, on most weeks, it looks pretty filled in. I'm always surprised when announced crowds come in far less than what it looks like on the sunny side. I guess there aren't many of us Rent Rats.

If you sat on the sunny side you would see most of the empty seats are the lower bowl $$$ seats. It always is that way. I think the ticket office does this so the stadium looks full opposit the TV cameras.

I think it's just because season tix holders and other UConn fans want to be on the side of the UConn sideline. The other spot is where fans of the away team generally sit. Not totally sure though, you could be right.

I agree with you about the TV angles. I remember a US Soccer game years ago that they did the same thing.

Which is smart. At Gampel it's the opposite, the most pricey seats are the ones right in line with cameras and are never full. Meanwhile in the cheapseat bleachers people are sitting on each other's laps.
