They only used used the lower bowl and suites, many which were surprisingly occupied, as the upper deck was curtained-off. Looked to be mostly UConn fans with a few FSU fans here an their, like the couple with the FSU colored ugly Christmas sweaters in front of me (they were good sports). The atmosphere was only so-so; but, I blame a lot of that on the refs as the early an often video reviews at the start of both haves took away the rhythm and fun out of the game. Maybe 8K in attendance. Not surprisingly, there were a good number of Clemson fans walking around when I entered the Rock. For some reason, there are a lot of kids from Jersey who go to Clemson for college (in my town, its Virginia Tech). MSG it was not. Did not make the UConn pre-game at Redd's Biergarten as it looked crowded and I had my two you boys with me. So I had burgers with my boys next door at Novelty Burger, which a few other UConn fans did find. Parking was $30, which was a joke; but, couldn't do anything about. Need to remember to park off of Layfayette Street instead, which is usually just $20, instead of Market (its $15 by the strain station; but, not walking over there at night in Newark with my kids). I did make it home in 25 minutes after leaving our seats, which was good as I had a soccer certification class to take at 8 AM this morning. [/QUOTE]
