Atlanta UConn fan

[bfs3]

So despite this being the most anticipated season I’ve waited for in years, I’m sadly moving to the Atlanta area. What’s the closest game or tournament we’re playing in next year? I might just buy home tickets and fly in for a game whenever they start selling individual game tix. Any suggestions?

 

[UconnU]

Not the best area to live if you’re looking to attend games. I think your best bet would be taking the 6.5 hour drive to Xavier.

 

[HooperScooper]

Isn't UConn playing at Florida on 12/6? Gainesville is closer than Cincinnati.

 

[87Xfer]

You'll still be closer than I am.

Yeah I mean I’m not complaining but I’m still trying to figure out what to do. I had season tickets for the first time last year and now we’re moving due to the wife’s job.

Gtown?

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Save your drive for the Final Four in Indy.

 

[bfs3]

Gtown?

That’s my guess. Maybe they’ll play in Charleston again in the future.

Hey. Lived in ATL for 20 + years. Me and a few BY nerds get together to watch games- not the same but at least we are with our people.
If I can be helpful in anyway please let me know.

Consider divorce

We can watch @Guapo's house, I'll see you there!

You can get anywhere from Atlanta pretty quickly. That is one of the perks of living there. You can find a flight to almost anywhere at a reasonable price.

 

[Waquoit]

You're gonna get in trouble.

Only if someone rats...

 

[Waquoit]

Go back to bed

hey man, thanks for the invite

I believe you know the crew (if this is who I think it is) if not consider yourself invited. I have a large loft so about 5 people can SD in LR-may be installing an outdoor tv at studio next door.
@ the next normal.

 

[XLCenterFan]

I doubt they will be playing with fans, so we may be all excited for nothing.

more importantly, what pizza to eat, and the only answer is Antico.

Antico is good, but it’s important to remember that it would be mid-level to good in CT. Also, if you’re ever in the area, there’s a newish place on the Beltline called Nina and Raffi’s that is legit good, in my opinion.

But otherwise, it’s a pizza wasteland.

I don’t think I do; but, if there are sports this fall, let me know what y’all plan.

The entire south is. Moved back to CT last year, but was hard pressed to find good pizza in Alabama/Georgia. Antico was the best I found in Atlanta, and Birmingham had a few good places. No good pizza at all in Auburn or Montgomery.

 

[Palatine]

Lived in midtown Atlanta for six years. If you want to see the Huskies it will be in your lving room.

 

[HooperScooper]

Gtown?

You'd think it's close but then you look at a map and realize how big the southeast is compared to the northeast. It's about 650 miles from Atlanta to DC. About 450 miles to Cincinnati. About 325 to Gainseville, Florida.

 

[HCCForever]

I live in Florida so I plan on going to Gainesville which is only 2.5 hours for me. After that, the Big East tournament and NCAAs. I will also get back to CT for a regular season game. I am close to Orlando so only a 2.5 hour flight. I would drive up to 10 hours or so but no games appear to be that close this upcoming season.

People don’t realize Atlanta is as far west as Detroit . Doesn’t seem like it but it is.

It’s actually one degree farther west than Detroit.

while you suckers have to deal with the sun setting at 4pm in the winter; I still get to see the sun and blue skies when I leave the office.

One of the more underrated perks of living here.

The downside is that it gets lighter later in the morning. That is something I noticed whenever I traveled to Atlanta from Connecticut. One thing I miss about Connecticut in late spring and summer is that the sun rises just after 5 while further south it is closer to 6:30AM.
