First time attending football game

I sit in 241, and there are seats around the 17th row to the top.

You’d think the cops and LAZ could figure out how to manage traffic flow from
84 into the grounds with efficient parking after 2 decades. I guess I ask too much. I love when they block off lots that are visibly capable of handling more vehicles so it becomes the next lot’s problem..until everything degenerates into cars crossing flows, cars stuck changing lanes, cars stopping trying to sneak by cones and trying to convince LAZ drones to let them in. The system is a thin veneer of order masking utter disorganization.

This is so true. We went to a recent soccer game. There were 3 driving lanes. the left 2 were full, the one on the right was completely empty. I tell my wife all the time, "the general population are ignorant sheep." I said "is there a reason no one is going down the right lane?" we couldn't see any. So we drove down the right lane and pulled directly into the blue lot. There was no otherwise obstruction to entering said blue lot. Most of the time, just go, act like you know you what you are doing, and no one will question you. The sheep will follow the car directly in front of them 99% of the time.

How cool would have been to have a caravan of tour busses going from the Rent to the Boston and fans get to go to both the football game and either the basketball or hockey games??

We should have info on the Jumbotron at each event (all UConn sporting events from here on in) on how to vote for Joe Fagnano for the Heisman (currently 10th) and Skyler Bell for the Biletnikoff Award (he's currently 5th).

Heck the school should send an email to all the alumni and current students on how to do it.

Let's get him to NY, that would be such a boon for the program.

Another Boneyarder in 241?

We'll need to meet Saturday.
 
I just checked, there are plenty of tickets left. Not on Seat Geek though, through the UConn ticket office.
 
Parking seems to be $25 for the game in the lots- anything cheaper?

Game Day $20 (Aircraft Club across Silver Lane) is the same.

@Conndog Part of the deal of asking for assistance is giving us a post-game trip report. How was your first time?

One of the two addresses I sent you was for the Aircraft club. Many people have claimed it's very good. Also, I thought both lots were $20.

Everything I've seen written on-line says lots are $20. Parking can be bought online but it comes to $24.95 with the fees. Anyone confirm it's $20. I'd rather pay at the lot.

regarding the right hand lane, as you enter the parking from Silver lane east gate, all traffic turns left after @ 50 yards. Once that left is made, the right lane is reserved for cars with BLUE parking passes to make the turn right into Blue parking.

That’s how I got the $25 price- okay, $20 at the lot is good.

Hi, once it’s post-game, I’ll give a report

Think we’ll see the game Saturday- first time seeing them live since 1980s YaleBowl games. Never been to Rentsler (?) field. Basic info needed- what do tickets cost? Are seats good anywhere or where should we sit? What does a hamburger cost? Any good CT beers and what do they cost? Any other suggestions for enjoying the upcoming win?

Go to the website gametime. Has some options

It is definitely $20 at the lot. To be honest buying earlier has no value it just cost more and doesn't save any time. Pay at the lot.

Had a great time with my wife at today’s game! Thank you so much FfldCntyFan for gifting me the tickets- I will steer more people to the games in future. The tailgating looked fun- I was jealous. We couldn’t get to Aircraft Club to park- when we got to Silver Lane around 11 am, cops had it closed with gates and we couldn’t turn onto it. GPS took us a certain way from the north. So, we turned onto a side street and parked there, and it was a short walk to the stadium- saved $20 on parking! The game was fun to watch, and you could hit the contact sounds clearly which made us wince. I loved the UConn band; they sounded really good. Our seats were section 137 by end zone corner. We were in the shade and it was chilly! Glad UConn won, but I felt bad about the interception from Fagnano- no way I can be blamed for it, but I was in attendance after all. I will definitely try to go to more games in future and get into the tailgate scene! Thanks again FfldCntyFan!

Glad it worked out and glad you went because I couldn't. Another win is a great way to end our home season. Once you get the hang of it you can make your gameday as simple or complicated as you choose. Last week there were six of us there early but I've gone last minute solo just to be there and had a good time talking to other fans. Hope you make it back. As for me taking a little trip to FL this week and will be representing (UConn and NHS) vs FAU.

All aboard. Train kept a-rollin'!

Can't have a letdown vs FAU. Make some noise.
