Delaware Game Tailgate?

[UCAlumDE]

Anyone know if UConn will be doing any type of tailgate at the Delaware game on 9/13?

 

[Griggs]

Any bus trips available?

Amtrak to/from Newark, DE station, < 1 mile to/from Delaware Stadium. Easy walk, sidewalks & parking to stadium.

First year, FBS-level Blue Hens’ 1st ever home game with FBS opponent. Likely sell out.

i know this is off-topic, so mods feel free to delete;
but - how dangerous is this game? UD was awesome in the atlantic 10 and CAA, if memory serves (I grew up near hofstra so very familiar with UD historically)

They feel like a program that's gonna get their stuff together quick a-la JMU, if they're not already there.
Also, they use the princeton/michigan wing helmet - I feel like you're not allowed to stink, in those lol

Remember ours? A bunch of Georgia Tech RV's showed up on campus Thursday and nobody knew what to do with them.

There are good tickets on Stubhub for $36. I’m only 40 minutes away I’m hoping I can get there.

Tough game. They have a very experienced team. Not a gimme at all.

Only about 2 1/2 hours (+/-, depending on where the trip originates) from the DC area where lots of UConn alumni live.

Thanks for that info. We are on vacation that week in Cape May & the Mrs. suggested attending that game...

This. If the weather is decent, it is a fairly easy walk for most.

Amtrak has very limited service to Newark, DE during the weekend.

My brother and I will be in attendance, tailgating in one of the lots, I live in southern DE and he lives in PA so we’ve had this game circled since they scheduled it.

 

[SonsOfNutmeg]

The Sons will be there in Delaware! Will be tailgating. Look for our flags - no idea lots or what their setup is yet. All UConn fans are welcome to stop by!

We got our tix 2 weeks ago!

I usually make the Delaware Memorial Bridge in about 2 hours from NW DC. Guess it depends on the weight of your foot.

....and traffic. My experience is from Northern Virginia back in the day, and my foot tends more on the light side.

I loathe Delaware Bridge traffic.

 

[coachcap]

So the link says that registration is $ 35.00/person. Nowhere on that site does it say what you get for your $ 35.00. Or, am I missing something?

 

[Waquoit]

Check the fine print. You get Jeno's pizza rolls, tater tots, taquitos and a souvenir cup.

Well, if you're northbound to Newark (DE) for the game, you won't have to go over the bridge. If northbound AFTER the game, you get it coming and going.

 

[KryHavok]

I'm psyched! Wife gifted me tickets for this game, and it'll be first time seeing UConn at an away game. I hope UConn gets the Win!!!
