Will be in CT that weekend for a surprise party for SIL Sat night, so plan on going to Rent for the game. Haven't been in close to a decade (a humiliating loss to Cuse).

Tix on UConn's preferred online seller only have availability in upper corners. I see good seats at an OK price on RateYourSeat.com, but have never used them. Anyone know if they're 100% reliable? Being old and creaky we're looking for seatbacks. They have a bunch in and around Sec 200, so just wanted to know if it's a good site for getting tix.

What local breweries sell beer on site?

I hope to be packing some solid Pittsburgh brews and will be happy to trade. Would love to try a Treehouse while in the area (but won't have time to visit breweries).

Whose tailgates can wife (who will wear Pitt garb) and I crash?

I usually buy in or around section 200 on StubHub. I I looked earlier today and they were $42 if I remember right.

Buy them soon because similar tickets for Temple are $74. Assuming we beat Temple, Wake tickets will be in high demand.

TY. Tickets bought, parking pass secured!

Now onto whose tailgates are we crashing ;)
 
Storrs Roars, I sent you a DM earlier.

If you have a chance send a response

So has anyone bought UConn football tickets at Costco? At the Waterbury store they are selling upper level seats at 2 tickets for $ 49.95. The vouchers are at the kiosk where you get movie tickets & restaurant gift cards.
 
My crew resides at the top row of Section 103. There seems to be lots of vacancies in 102, 103, & 104,,, At least there were for the 1st 3 home games.

Ironically that was my last game at the rent as well

To answer your breweries question:

There are a ton of smaller stands around the whole concourse that will be selling 1-2 "craft" beers...usually ones from:

NEBCO (Fuzzy Baby Ducks, Sea Hag)
Counterweight (Headway)
Lawsons (Sip o Sunshine)
Kinsmen (Husky Hops)

I think there are a couple others, but I'm forgetting them off the top of my head.

At the end of the concourse by the big scoreboard, there are a couple of bigger "Craft Beer and other misc swill (read: American light lagers, seltzers, spritzers, etc.)" stands. These usually have the same ones mentioned above,, plus a decent selection of some other local/national craft beers

All-in-all, it's a pretty good selection...but it could be so much better. I'm sure concessions contracting plays a big role in what ends up for sale at the Rent. I'd really love to see 10-20 (or more!) of our excellent CT local breweries showcasing their beers in a beer tent. Have it be a rotating thing for each game...we have 100+ breweries in CT!

Next game, people will be yelling out Dream Jobbed, UConnDan etc. My son is already embarrassed by my antics......

Thanks I completely forgot about Two Roads (even though I walk by it every game to get to our seats).
