Forever Seats?

Nice response but you completely missed the point. Next time, I'll type slower so maybe you can keep up.

just worry about the game and not what everyone else is doing.

Its undisputedly better at Gampel. Half my section doesn't do the standing until we score at XL, despite my words of encourgement.

I know there are casual fans at both venues, but I gotta imagine you would get more at the XL due to ease of access. Gampel is more difficult for many to get to, especially on a week night. And I imagine there usually aren't as many students.

 

[Chief00]

If this is true, why do you think that's the case? More fans? Haven't been to an XL game in years but will say the crowd sounded great on tv the last couple of games this year.

Undefeated this season in Hartford. But Gampel did have tougher schedule.
Hartford in big games is much louder.

And the students are such awesome fans that when football season rolls around, they can't figure out a way to the Rent.

The students aren't exactly alone in this behavior.

I agree and use the Syracuse and Georgetown games in January of 1990 as examples.
The then Civic Center was electric. The lights seemed brighter, the fans louder and time was almost standing still when we blew Georgetown out early. They were stunned......maybe the lights were too bright!

The court itself is flipping too, likely to accommodate the lower level suite setup, so in theory once you get into the arena it will essentially feel the same.

Is that shown somewhere? If that's the case, it would seem the current sideline seats will be farther from the court, or am I not visualizing it correctly?

I'm not looking it up so you'll have to fend for yourselves....

I said nah. I've been giving for decades, I'll let the new folks step up. I sit where I sit.

we let them keep the covid year seat payment/donation, have always bought and donated bowl tickets, but with them it's what have you done for me lately.

Gampel has less seats so it’s about how much you give rather than how passionate you are.

Class Action. Deceptive Practices.

You have the sign up sheet?

I don't buy that. Up until this year, there was ample opportunity to get reasonably priced season tickets at Gampel. Prices and seat donation costs are similar at both locations. With the forever seat model, anyone that had season tickets before the back-to-back could not get booted out. With the rules around the upcoming seat selection process, no one with existing seats will get booted out. they might end up with worse seats, but they will have seats.

Talk to people who go to XL but not Gampel and many will say that difficulty getting to Storrs is an issue.

or whether you live closer to Storrs or Hartford

 

[gampelcrazies]

Not many casual fans are driving to Storrs on a weeknight lol

I’ll agree with this. It was rocking in those two games and really that entire season which is why it is still my favorite season despite the ending.

Chief, undefeated at XL since a loss to St. John's on 1/15/23, a winning streak of 2+ seasons!

Yes, tough to argue against that record based upon the “feelings” of Casual Gampel fans.

 

[Stew Crew]

Hartford is a better home court advantage than Gampel despite what the coach and Gampel fans think.

The data does not support this assertion. Since Covid, UConn is 29-3 at XL and 30-3 at Gampel. In the Hurley era (minus games with no fans and exhibitions), 44-12 at XL and 54-7 at Gampel.

neither is relevant without taking into account the strength of the opponents. How's the Quad 1 and Quad 2 records at each venue?
