Forever Seats?

[GlastonTim]

I loved mine. I mean the seat itself. Not all seats are the same width at the XL and we found the widest seats in the place. I'm gonna have to start low-carbing again.

What are the different seat widths you’ve found.

"Forever", my ass. I spent 40 years selling investments, and if I had EVER used the term "guaranteed", I would have been fired.

 

[RayRipRudy]

They need to move the students court-side. But money talks and them old retired folks will pay whatever it cost to sit in those seats and not stand up or cheer one time all season.

 

[MrSec238]

Gonna be super weird at the XL with the students on the opposite side we are used to

Also, using the term “forever seats” in facilities that you are actively looking to reconfigure is just asking for grief.

 

[gampelcrazies]

I've gone back and forth with how I think this reseat will go. Our ranking is 210 at Gampel and 241 at XL according to the email. Even if we end up with better/same seats it will suck to lose seat neighbors we have become friendly with

 

[bigknight3]

I'm getting screwed. And not happy about it.

 

[Zissou]

Class Action. Deceptive Practices.

We love our 4 seats(upper bowl) at Gampel and don’t want to lose them. You wonder where you need to be in selection process and how much to give to get there but no guarantee. It’s worrisome that’s for sure. I wish you got a slot for each venue but you get your slot and pick both venues. Don’t like that.

I was told by UConn I would have to do two windows - one for each building.

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

 

[Vancat]

Curious as to how many of you are donating for more priority points and to move up in selection process? I have.

nope.

You mean Beloved Casuals, don't you?

Too many boomers at both venues. Lol

Edit: As @GlastonTim said, rabid boomers can stay. Arms folded all game boomers need to go.

 

[GlastonTim]

Too many casual boomers. Rabid boomers are always welcome.

The March 12 email said otherwise. Check out the FAQs on the UConn website.

Tight, normal, wide.

 

[giddyup]

Just checked - You retain your Row A, Seat 8. It’s just now located where Row Z Seat 8 was.

 

[temery]

Tight, normal, wide.

and here I thought XL seats were just extra large.

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.

 

[Waquoit]

I don't buy that. Boomers tend to be diehards. We've been here for the entire journey from regional to national program. We were still going to games after Ollie went south. It's those that came after that have the bandwagon tendencies.

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.

 

[GlastonTim]

I’m a proud boomer that loses my voice every game. Most aren’t cheering like crazy, they’re telling us to sit down, and f them. Sure they clap at the start of the halves, big whoop.

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

 

[Stew Crew]

There is no shortage of clueless, apathetic fans at any age at either venue.

• The 80 year old man that sits next to me at XL that yells at anybody who stand up in front of him.
• The 35 year old mom that sits a few rows in front of me at Gampel (occasionally) that stands up in middle of the game to make sure her kids don't spill food on themselves.
• The 20-something man in my aisle that decides to get up during live play, 30 seconds after a TV timeout. Same for the 40-something woman that was in my aisle for the Seton Hall game.
• The 50-something couple that gets up to leave with 1 minute left in a 3-point game against Villanova at XL.

Well sportsbook on student side. Bar area on non student side. I get it will look and feel similar but there are aspects that will take getting used to

sounds like you'd be more comfortable watching the game at home on the television. Love the fan police.

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

They can find the Rent. Some just can't find the entrance to the stadium and are forced to get drunk in the parking lot. The ones that make it in think that football is played in halves so after two periods, leave to meet up with their friends that couldn't find the entrance.

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