Anyone heading down Saturday to Philly?

[Letsgohuskies11]

Just bought two tickets. I see there is potential for some snow/ice/rain whatever during the day. Hope we get a decent crowd.

 

[AllAbout5]

I wish. Can't make it.

I'll be there, but I live in PA so it's not a far drive for me. I plan on going to every game at 'Nova once we're back in the BE next year.

I've been to the Wells Fargo Center (previously called Wachovia) for several UConn games - all wins. Two against Nova (including the 2004 overtime comeback with Okafor block/Rashad 3ptr), and UConn over Kentucky in the NCAAs (2006). I missed the one where Bazz launched the long distance 3 for the win (was watching it from Vegas MGM sportsbook). Anyway, hopefully this team has something in them to surprise us on Saturday.

Almost time to start getting fired up for this game if you ask me. Let's go Huskies!!!

I’ll be there + 8

We’ll be loud, would love to see the Huskies pull this one out

I’ll be there +1. Taking the train down from New Haven tomorrow morning so don’t have to deal with driving in potential bad weather.

Any suggestions on good breweries or Bars to check out?

I also went to every UConn game at Nova. Saw of couple nail biters in Philly. Used to get great single game tickets for the family.Mid court, box seats, bar. Then it became such a rivalry they put in our game in a three game package. The other two games Seattle School of Barista's, and University of Uber's. Then we went to the American.

Monk's Cafe is one of the best beer bars in the country; highly recommended. Great food, too.

Get an Italian Roast Pork Sandwich (with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe) at John's, DiNic's, Paesano's or Tony Luke's.

Jim's South Street, Delassandro's, Steve's prince of steaks

Welcome Huskies. Welcome back to Philly.

Pregame tailgating 2 hours prior to tip is the norm, but the wintry forecast tomorrow will slow those activities. If you want to pregame in comfort XFinity Live is an indoor mall of pubs in the parking lot.

The recommendations in prior posts are spot on for steaks and pork. Jim’s on South Street is still a great steak in an old school venue.

Ishkabibbles Spanish Fries w/ cheese sauce (fries w/ hot peppers, onions and cheese sauce) are worth the trip alone!

I've had more good times in this bar than I can count.

Enjoy yourself but be warned that if you get too loud or rude, the locals will definitely find a way to see if you bleed blue.

Cheesesteak egg rolls in Broad Street Bullies. XFinity Live! bar complex in the Wells Fargo parking lot. You are welcome!

Went there the night before the football game. Place is great. Even better Penn State beat Syracuse. Ahh the memories.
