Message: [QUOTE="oldanintheway, post: 4155790, member: 7335"] Once Upon a Time..., There was a Football Stadium Right in the Middle of Campus...students would come far & wide from such exotic places such as The Jungle, The Frat Quad, McMahon, Hilltop, Carriage House Apartments, Willington Oaks Apts., even the metropolis of Mansfield itself...The Mighty Marching Husky School Band would march in unison on Hillside Road playing school fight songs, students cheering raising a red cup, while other students would be pre-game toasting at the 5 Star Restaurants such as Ted's or Huskies or various dorm rooms before walking out the door to make that youthful happy trek to The Memorial Stadium, players' parents and season ticket holders parked directly behind the visitors stands in a grassy field tailgating, an occasional "pony keg" of fine brew was seen being passed up the stands, if a UConn player was awaiting a kickoff at the then service road end of the stadium(now Jim Calhoun Way), he might turn and see some friends sitting on a slight rise of a hill waving and yelling encouragement in the bright New England October while mellowing out on a bottle of wine and a joint or 2..., and nobody bothered them... Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, Once Upon a Time....There was a Football Stadium in the Middle of Campus.... [/QUOTE]
