I went to my first UConn women's basketball game while I was a grad student at UConn during the 1982-83 season. I was looking for cheap entertainment, and at that time the women's basketball home games at UConn were free. Nothing cheaper than free, that's for sure. I quickly became a fan of the team, even if they were not all that good in those days. I continued going to UConn home games until I graduated from UConn in 1985 and moved away from campus.
I continued to follow news about the team (I remember talking to a guy at work about the team during that time), but did not resume going to games until the 1991-92 season, the season after they were in their first NCAA final four. I recall watching UConn's regional games in Philadelphia on television, as well as their game in the final four.
My wife and I went to almost every home game during the next few years. The season after UConn won its first national championship, we became season ticket holders for the 1995-96 season. We have been season ticket holders for games at Gampel ever since that time.
