Message: [QUOTE="Eastwood, post: 5110992, member: 10732"] I attended the game last Friday with our group of 9 long time season ticket holders. We sit in rows 9 and 10 section 226. I have a good perspective of how full or empty the stadium is. When I saw the attendance for the game was 25+, it made me think of the old joke that many fans must have shown up dressed as empty seats. Having grown up in Storrs, with a 10-minute walk to Memorial Stadium, I have lived through many twists and turns of UConn football. I don't think the distance to the stadium from Storrs, is what deters students, rather it is the last decade of putrid teams and the lack of any true rivalry. If I was a 20-year-old college student (I wish) I don't think travelling to East Hartford (with no surrounding night life) to see UConn play GSU would be a high priority. [/QUOTE]
