Message: [QUOTE="Coult, post: 4416477, member: 12274"] Though I do think success breeds more success and getting students to come regularly (which I think they would with a team of current caliber and an on campus field) is a great step in keeping the team relevant, would there be any possibility for a split schedule like with basketball? Get some of the lower tier games on campus to keep students interested in coming to the games and if there are bigger games that could be put in the rent that is also an option? I do not think this is a long term solution and would be more on a temporary basis because the home of a great football team should be where it's students are. In my opinion the additional travel time from Hartford to Storrs would not be that significant especially if it results in a better environment and better on field product. However, I am aware that this may be more of a younger alumni bias, but for any alumni would you not mind taking a trip to where you spent your college years on the occasional fall Saturday as opposed to east Hartford for just a couple extra minutes drive? However, costs and fan decision aside this possibility is even less probable as it would also likely require some form of surrounding town approval in addition to major expansions of Storrs road to allow for travelers, neither of which seem like a likelihood at this point.
