Hartford > Gampel

Well, im in a wheelchair and xl is far easier to get to than Storrs from Meriden.

When my husband was alive - managing his wheelchair access was easier in Hartford.

I've been a UConn BB fan for over 50 years and still pay money and go to games yet here's a numbnut that keeps saying I want the program to fail. Because I support a status quo that has brought us four titles. We've won more that Kansas and they hired Naismith. Playing home games in a barn clearly gets the program prepared to play in the buildings where the Big Dance is held. UConn is known for bringing it in any region. Would that have come with all the home games in an often indifferent on-campus facility? I say no. I clearly want continued success for a program that does things their way. This guy wants UConn to just fall in line.

Me me me, I I I.

Students, coaches, players, many fans want it different, but you want ME ME ME ME ME, so telling.

Also so very Connecticut to never want anything to change. Evolve.

What's the planned Gampel renovation?

It was talked about as part of the master plan update a while ago

Master Plan Presents 20-Year Vision for Storrs Campus - UConn Today

A comprehensive plan that will help shape the physical development of the Storrs campus for the next 20 years will soon be available for public review.

UConn’s lease with the XL Center is set to expire. Will more games be played at Gampel Pavilion?

With a superior on-campus arena preferred by students and teams, why do the Huskies...

Again, because you keep making the same unfounded accusation. It's not about me. I want what's best for the program and think people like you who don't buy season tickets have it wrong. Move all the games to Gampel and my life will continue to be pretty good. But the program will end up with less revenue and less overall fan support without a corresponding competitive advantage. I know I'm in the minority but I'm usually right about these things.
