BDL-PVG: $322 RT
JFK-PVG: $399 RT
BOS-PVG: $370 RT

Hotels:

Cheapest: Super 8 Greenville- $64

You can also fly into Raleigh/Durham, though it is about an hour and a half drive from there to Greenville, but along the way you can stop at my brother in law's Restaurant/Beer Store in Wilson

Brewmasters

 

[thatguyed]

We'll be living in Myrtle Beach by then and hoping to hook up with someone's tailgate.

 

[Drew]

RDU would most definitely be cheaper flight wise- but then you need to factor in the cost of having a rental car for 3 days and ensure you factor in the travel time from Greenville for your return flight. Don't book a 6am flight on Sunday from RDU!!

See you at the game. Driving from DC area. And see y'all in Annapolis for Navy game.

There are some fun potential road trips this year. I really want to visit ECU but not with 7 home games and a road game at BC that's a 30 minute ride for me.

 

[Drew]

I work with the Charlotte Alumni Group for the UConn Alumni Association and am in the process of putting together a pre-game gathering/ticket package that would include food at a local bar before the game. If you haven't bought tickets yet and are planning on going this is a GREAT way to meet other Huskies and get a ticket to the game as well! More details to come when I have the okay to give them

 

[UconNate]

I'm in Greenville, SC. Drew, I'll send you a PM to get connected. I enjoyed this game two years ago and plan to go again.

Cheers,

Drew, I was going to buy a ticket this weekend, but I will hold off now that you may be getting something together. Let us know what you come up with please.

Will be driving from SC as well. Not sure if I want to buy tickets through UCONN or through ECU. Singles not available until 8/1 through ECU.

Like sitting with UCONN fans, but hate that corner pocket.

Yes, please let us know asap so we can make plans. My group is probably 6.

 

[jayfromfla]

lots of tix available for USF on Stubhub. USF has home game with Fla state and many FSU fans bought USF season tix and are dumping the other games

Thx

OK I am just wondering if I should buy tickets on my own or not.

Thanks - Looking forward to it.

 

[31GuardTrap]

Looks like I may be heading to this one. Nice little bonus stop on way to Charleston for a few days.

Can't wait. Tickets bought already, but ready to go.

Took a little longer than we anticipated, but here it is! We will be meeting at Professor O'Coole's before the game as a group. We have a large room reserved for 3 hours before the game in order to accommodate everyone. Buy game tix through the attached link to benefit the school: UConn Alumni Events

 

[Drew]

Hotels are around $120 for anything decent.. would suggest booking now before everything else gets booked up: https://www.travelocity.com/Hotel-Search?#&destination=Greenville, North Carolina&startDate=10/28/2016&endDate=10/30/2016&regionId=2779&latLong=35.612228,-77.372719&adults=2

Flights:

BOS-PGV $349
BDL-PGV $363
NYC-PGV $341

 

[Drew]

Wanted to bump this thread with the game 3 weeks from Saturday. If you haven't bought your game tickets yet- please do so through this link to support the school!

UConn Alumni Events

We are planning on having any UConn fans attending meet at Professor O'Cooles, which is a little under a mile from the stadium from what we've been told. Hoping for a great turnout!!

 

[Drew]

Also if you're interested in coming down and haven't booked travel arrangements yet...

Flights from NYC area to Raleigh are only running around $250RT. This is a phenomenal deal. RDU is 90 minutes west of Greenville, easy drive once you land. I'm staying in Goldsboro around 30 minutes outside of Greenville for $84 a night at a TownPlace Suites. Can't beat it for a road game that isn't within easy driving distance for most.

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Don't we still have a state ban on travel to NC?

 

[PopcornHatKid]

The boys are taking an RV trip to ECU this year, along with stops at Busch Gardens and Ocean City, MD. Unfortunately, purchasing a $50 ticket for the game is a little too high for us when we can get them on 3rd party site for $13.

The 7 of us will be out in full force and will likely make our way down to the UConn section at some point during the game. See you guys down there.

 

[31GuardTrap]

Have a room booked in Washingtonville. 20 miles east of Greenville. Driving down.
