Message: [QUOTE="brasssbonanzaa, post: 1986813, member: 794"] In fairness, put yourself in AD Dave's shoes for a minute. For all we know, Fenway/IMG may have offered him a large chunk of change (multiple millions) to move this game up to Fenway. Since the game is still considered a home game for UConn, it would allow him to negotiate a way for us to control the majority of tickets as well as receive a large portion of the revenue. That plus a bit of added publicity for the game, considering our financial situation at the current time post-buyout, makes it a proposition he has to consider. As fans, it sucks. I'm positive he knows it's not something fans will generally like. But it's also very potentially a significant financial gain for the program, while still making the game accessible to most fans. It's a tough, but swallowable pill. [/QUOTE]
