That's fantastic for fans, so initiate. But damn is it ever under-sized. Doesn't look like there is any room at all to add seats. Typical UConn mistake.

There’s a standing room only section for students that begs for seats. I suspect that will happen relatively quickly if there’s demand.
 
With the seats as steep as they are and the low ceiling, the place should be able to get loud very quickly.
 
Yeah it’s too bad Storrs isn’t a good spot for CIAC championship. They host CCC’s. Also, Quinnipiac hosts it now.

Man, the TFIF looks real nice but tiny tiny from the angle of this pic. The wrapping on the glass obscures some seats to make the bowl look even smaller, but hey - there's obviously no bad place to watch the game in this barn! :)

Rink capacity for the four major D1 programs in CT:

Sacred Heart (new) - 3,600
Yale - 3.500
QU - 3,386
UConn (on campus, new) - 2,600

How embarrassing that the state's flagship university, with far and away the largest student enrollment among the four schools, has the "rinky dink" rink.

The rink capacity is a non-issue. The facility is state of the art and will be a difference maker for both UConn hockey programs. A job well done by UConn.
 
It's great for the men's and women's teams (I'm glad), the students (I'm glad), and the politicians who score tickets. Not so for the 1,400 CT taxpayers per game who are left out because UConn reneged on its promise to build a 4,000 seat arena as a condition for entry into Hockey East.

There will be a enough games each year at the XL center where tax payers will have the opportunity to attend. The on campus games can be for the students. It’s a win win for everyone.
