Message: [QUOTE="Steve UConn72, post: 4413828, member: 6157"] I was going to start my own thread, but this seems like as good a place as any...When I was at UConn in the dark ages (1968-72), I probably saw just about every home game (I think tickets were either free for students or 50 cents) as either a fan or a broadcaster for WHUS, as well as a few road games - Yale x 2, Maine, URI (Vin Clements gashed the Rams for about 250 yards that day) and maybe BU. Saturday was my first visit to the Rent and my first UConn football game since the late '70's. In my defense I lived in Virginia for many of those years and have been in Maine since 1985. I was really impressed with the stadium. Even though our seats (through the Alumni Association) were in the 12th row of Section 229 (just past the goal line, home side, Jumbotron end), it was easy to see the game. Seat backs would have been nice, but other than that, it was great. The food selection was impressive, and what we got was really good for stadium food. the Rent may be in rough shape, but like a beautiful woman who still can turn heads well past her 30's, she carries her age well. Despite the 3+ hour drive each way, we'll be back. [/QUOTE]
