12,500 tickets sold so far for UConn/Wichita St

Oh look another AAC Sunday home game. We’d get a bump if it were a Saturday

There will be a short term bump when we go to the Faux Big East and everybody will be patting themselves on the back. But it will run its course in 2-3 years and we’ll be hearing about the attendance woes again. Remember when we led college hockey in attendance? Now we are 7th in Hockey East. Same thing.

Hockey is a tough sport to maintain fan interest in. Even if you are an NHL city.

Depends, I usually park near Bushnell and Union just because it’s easy on and off from me (live West of Hartford). Big lot usually 1/2 full 30mins b4 tip

We use the lot across Main Street from Dunkin Donuts Park. Drive to the back corner and it's a short walk to the back entrance of the XL Center.

Not if you win - which is the problem with the Whalers and UConn hockey here.

Between the Whale and the Huskies (Hockey East era), we've had 3 winning seasons in 26 combined years of hockey. Think about that. That's almost impossible to achieve. The market would love a good team. Just hasn't gotten one.

Gampel's floor wouldn't be covered in condensation. XL is embarrassing.

Gampel attendance shouldn't be compared to XL. With the exception of the Florida game XL has gotten the better draw this year. If Gampel got the same dates as XL the numbers would be 1000x better.
 
At 1000x better you are saying Gamble would draw 80,000? Looks like you really thought this one out.
 
I was at both. The atmosphere at the Florida game and today's game were comparable. But ultimately, XL can be as loud/fun/rowdy as Gampel, but Gampel cannot be as loud/fun/rowdy as XL, when considering each's best possible atmosphere.

I am def not an XL snob but I disagree. College students take the fan experience to the next level. And at Gampel the students are a larger percentage of the crowd and are much more on top of the court. I like both places but Gampel rules in a big game

I can't take anyone's post seriously who can't even spell the name right
 
XL drew more for NJIT than Gampel drew for Florida...
