Blaudschun: UConn Switching BC Home Game to Fenway?

[HuskyBandDad]

Is this game included with my season tixs or not?

 

[Jimdish255]

Don't like it. We're failing in FFC and a lot of fans went to BC for a disaster last year. So we give up a home game to play in a baseball stadium North of the Rent. Better not hear any more complaints about SW CT not supporting the FB team when you take this approach. Our upstate people live in a bubble.

I could be looking at this all wrong but why would playing a game in Boston where our fans should have access to a good number of seats (hopefully ~60% or so) be a bad idea?

I absolutely believe (been saying it for more than a decade and told Benedict personally more than once) that we should play one football and one men's hoops game in either NYC or Boston every year, planting a flag in each city, claiming everything between the two is our home turf.

You're demanding an official answer to a move that hasn't even been announced yet? Maybe being a litle self-entitled?

College Football returns next season to Fenway Park with BC at UCONN http://Tmgcollegesports.com Yes, BC AT UConn

You have to be f.cking kidding me. Such f.cking bs. Just when UConn football starts making smart moves they f.ck this up. We are a joke and always will be if we do crap like this. Unreal. Not buying season tickets now.

Will probably hurt our season ticket numbers as well. It was one of the few attractive home games on the schedule. Now there is even less incentive to buy season tickets vs buying them on the secondary market or game-by-game.

I don't think it's entitlement that UConn has already taken money from many of us based on a home schedule which is now quite possibly less attractive. I'm not saying I disagree with the move, but to imply that as season ticket holders, we have no right to care about the product many of us, including myself, have already spent money on, is a bit disingenuous.

BC is one of the few marquee matchups and it's now quite possibly gone.

 

[Caronimo]

Another reason BC fans can say they own us in football. May not be true but this just proves their point. So dumb. We are going to go play a home game in their back yard. Laughable. This isn't notre dame...

 

[Caronimo]

Dumbest decision since the civil conflict. Worse than the civil conflict

 

[uconnflyer88]

Do we have university concurrence on this? Or is this just some random guy on the internet with BC ties?

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Maybe we can be the barn-burner traveling MLB stadium team. Move the Missouri home game to Busch Stadium in St Louis?

I have no problem playing a game at Fenway against BC--but is should not be one of hour "home" games. Either play BC at Fenway for multiple game (with no actual home games). Or make it a contract with 1 BC home game, 1 UConn home game, and 1 Fenway game (or some multiple of that arrangement).

I'm not saying it's "entitlement" to want a refund on your tickets for that game if you ordered before the schedule change. That's perfectly fair. It think it's self-important entitlement to be demanding answers to your questions before it's even been officially confirmed that the move has been made. The game is 10 months off. How about waiting to see what the school says first?

Yes I am.

 

[Caronimo]

Yes I am.

Lmao we are gonna play a game against an old rival in their city. UConn is a joke.

 

[freescooter]

Don't love it but as others say if it is the price for getting rid of Diaco I'm willing to go along

 

[Stinger92860]

I live in Wilton, but I am good with this. Shows we own NY and Boston. I'd prefer Yankee Stadium though. I can easily get to Fenway from my sister in laws apartment though.

Three posts on this having generated not one immediate like. A more self-reflective person might stop posting and ask themselves why almost no one is agreeing with them.

I'm sure the ACC won't laugh at us. Nice power 5 move UConn

Because you're all settling for being a laughing stock I guess

Have you been drunk for the last 5 years?

Do we own Boston though? Think about it

Well at least it's another bus trip opportunity!

We never will following your philosophy.

I will probably never understand this mentality. I go to games to watch the team in home blues, not the away whites. I really don't care who they play. The name of the game is winning and in case people have been living under a rock for the last 5 out of the last 6 years, UConn has not been the most competitive program vs. even the most mediocre of opponents.
