Gampel louder than ever?

[BKLYN]

Was it just me or was that the best atmosphere you have seen at a Uconn game in a long time? Motion to bring all home games to Gampel.

LET'S GO HUSKIES!

Hard to argue when you only get 10-12k in Hartford anyways.

 

[AtlantaHusky]

That was a hell of a crowd, really impressed. Great to see. Hopefully all home games after break will be near that level.

 

[Palatine]

Yep, it was loud. But it was also a great game between two top 20 teams. If you can't get loud for that, you'll never get loud.

I think only Texas may have been louder...extremely close though. I thought the students were going to topple over when 'Bazz ran into the tunnel.

Eh, that had a big nutty game like that last year as well. I believe it was the Georgetown game that was out of control like that, but it ended in a loss. Let's hope we see more of those this year.

One other thing: certainly hope Warde realizes the power of having students enthused for games. They should do everything humanly possibly to make things easy for kids to get to XL and the Rent, and they should give them $1 tickets too!!!

Give the crowd, especially the students, an assist. Great job by all.......

 

[Scot-e]

Best crowd in a long long time. We should play all our big games there.

11 Patoni tiles were blown all the way to Horse Barn Hill.

 

[GlastonTim]

It doesn't get any better than that. My voice is shot.

 

[husky99]

started a thread on this, missed this one... great job guys

 

[3uconn]

Place was crazy! It literally felt like it was shaking!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The Viking]

Incredible job by the crowd. Sounded on TV like there were 25K in there.

Just wait til the Louisville game. I want blood.

 

[The Viking]

If ever you wanted a recruit in the house, it's for tonight's game, right?

 

[RealUconnFan]

I was there it was the loudest I've heard...maybe closest was Cuse two years ago

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Gampel was great tonight. A+++to the students.

Nice touch beating on the plastic backs of the chairs in the student section while he students in the bleachers stomped away.

Even the old farts in my section were standing( thanks to the "Get Up Gampel" appeal by the students).

Are you sure there wasn't a T-shirt give away that you were just missing?

Loved Gampel, but hard to compare because Hartford rarely gets the same quality of opponents. Went to Louisville in Hartford last year and I thought the crowd was great until we started getting blown out. Storrs is clearly better, but I don't think Hartford is the cesspool people think it is, and as a New Haven resident, I appreciate the Hartford games.

Though tonight was well worth the drive.

 

[huskyniner]

Tonight was the 2nd loudest I've ever heard Gampel, only bested by Villanova in 2005-06. That was a top 3 matchup.

 

[jrmadej21]

Were there any recruits in the house tonight @3uconn ?

 

[Deleted member 3149]

The Louisville game will be insane

The game against Syracuse last year at the XL was fantastic. I was in the "nosebleeds" and people were yelling the entire game.

But last night was definitely special. Felt like a tournament atmosphere.

Guys I was with said it was the best live game they've been at. Lower section was bouncing after SN hit the 4 point play. Loved the "stand up Gampel" chant by the students.

 

[Peacefrog]

It felt a bit like the old days (90's) when we were still tickled pink just to be winning. Before the entitlement and unreasonably (at times) lofty expectations.
