Message: [QUOTE="BfromCT, post: 4857801, member: 10542"] A longwinded answer to the question. From the summer of 1994 until early 1997, I worked at UConn and employed a several graduate students workers in the fall of 1994. We were all basketball fans and one of them who had been part of the UConn pep band told us that the women’s team was going to be real good the upcoming season and that it was real easy to get tickets. I attended about a dozen games during that season, including the justly famous game against the #1 Tennessee on Martin Luther Day on January 16, 1995. At that time before women’s basketball became big business, it was easy to get general admission tickets in the student section behind the home basket. After the students who generally filled up about three rows had acquired their tickets (probably without cost), the section was opened up to the public. One could walk over to the ticket office a few days before the game and purchase a ticket for a nominal price. It may have been as low at 50 cents, but I don’t remember. We waited outside the entrance until the doors opened and we could rush to the seats behind those purchased by students. I probably attended the first home game of the season on November 26 against Morgan State, a 107-27 victory. I had a t-shirt from the 1994 Super Show that occurred about two weeks before the first game. What a terrific team! Also attended the Eastern Regional games against Alabama and Virginia, the latter game being the first of the season in which the Huskies were behind a halftime. My wife and I also attended the celebration at Gamble after the team returned home from Minneapolis. What a ride! [/QUOTE]
