Attendance & Atmosphere ?

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

I must say that is one thing I wont stand for, if other teams fans wanna come here and start stuff then by all means have at em but that is unacceptable. to harass opponents fans for just coming to cheer on their team while acting like absolute morons is not being a good ambassador for the university or the state that we represent. sometimes I truly despise the people that show up to UConn games that aren't actually fans.

As someone who has gotten ridiculous abuse for simply wearing UConn gear at Temple and Rutgers I have learned to always respect all fans.

While we are on the subject of how opposing team fans are treated I am thining of going to the ECU game, but a few NC workmates said those fans can get pretty salty with opposing team fans.

I hear Greenville is a great game experience but I don't need beer thrown at me for wearing blue.

A few well placed calls or emails to Big Brothers/Sisters, East Hartford Bd of Ed, churches, or other charities may help. Over several years time, multiple people enjoyed games when relatives, friends, Bineyarders, or others couldn't use the tix. Then again, one Big Brother sold some tickets as he rarely appeared to know much about some games when asked "How'd your Little enjoy the game?" At least they were used when I was a day flight away overseas.

I work for East Hartford BOE. Quite frankly, seeing students at a game is my worst nightmare lol. I do my best to get kids pumped for the team that literally for some of them play in their backyard though. Gone as far as bribing them with all kinds of stupid stuff 5th graders are into to wear UConn gear on "favorite team day" etc.

I was 5th grade for the 99 hoops title run. EVERYONE lived and died by that team and we routinely had "blue and white day" on days of big games. Different times.

At least with blue, it doesn't show as bad.

I don't know where this traffic thing keeps coming from. It was literally 8 minutes from my seat after the final whistle to the highway.

Then again, I probably see a lot of you commuting on 95.

The Rent is literally the easiest venue I've every been to traffic wise. You're in and out with very little issue 95% of the time. Some people are just crazy.

We take our time leaving the stadium, sit in our car, relax, listen to Joe D, ugh. When the program is over, leave, no traffic to speak of. Don't know why everyone is in such a rush on a weekend night. Week nights I can understand.

I will be there with my UConn gear on.
