If we don't get close to a full house we got a problem

[businesslawyer]

I'm not an Alum (only because of no architecture major at UConn) but I would say my fandom exceeds that of a pastime. I also live almost 2 hours away.

I'm not an alum either. It doesn't have to stop you from lilving and dieing with the athletic program.

I have 4 extras. Sister/BIL are on vacation and the other two for my wife/younger son are generally unused.

I got 4 on the hook right now. If they're all available, I'll take them. I can pay for them too.

Over 20k vs Nova would be okay, all things considered.

I read it as 20K sold - but 30k would be better.

 

[whaler11]

The East Hartford fire department told us how many will be there. If they sold 20 then the 17k in the building we heard is probably almost exactly correct.

He was being more snarky than that.

Well, Des, we could completely fudge our numbers like a certain school in the tundra. Cuse claimed 41,189 for their opener against Nova in 2013. I'd love to know what the actual number was.

I wouldn't throw those stones until we see what we announce for attendance tonight. And we announced something ridiculous like 20k plus for SMU last year.

That wasn't absurd. There were aboutg 20 people in the stands for that.


My bad. I missed the "k."

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

Can I just show up at the stadium and buy student tickets?

 

[TheDoggPound]

Guys there will be lot's of walk-ups.

 

[Waquoit]

I don't think so. But you will be able to find a cheap ticket and sit in the student section,

 

[Waquoit]

FWIW, my buddy was talking to the ticket office today on another matter and they said they sold 25K so far.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I have at least 3-4 friends who are gonna buy tickets at the gate cause they know it won't sell out. Could be a couple thousand like that, if we're lucky?

 

[nycscooby]

Stub hub shows 2 tix available for tonight for whatever that is worth...hopeful that maybe we will get many more than expected.

 

[Showballot]

Wow. Can't beg people to go I know the team hasn't been the best but it's still a chance to get away from the wife and drink beer.

Why get married?

 

[SubbaBub]

In other news, the season ticket holder hats are better than what they are selling at the merch stands. So suck it, railbirds.

 

[CTMike]

Student section is pretty full, which is nice.

 

[noeynox]

What's the official number? Thought I read just over 26k, which would be better than expected.

It's what I saw - not sure how "official" or what methodology was used:

26, 113 attendance #UConnfootball

Not shabby considering...

 

[Adios]

Should be over 30K against Army. This win was sorely needed.

From TV that number doesn't seem terribly inflated.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Props to those in the stands. Looked and sounded pretty good on TV to me.

 

[SAMCRO]

Props to the students. That section was more full than I expected and they stayed. Attendance was slightly better than I thought it would.

2 things:
Pratt & Whitney - couldn't have got your employees jerseys the same color as the Huskies?
Forgot to pick up my season ticket hat. Anyone know if those will be available at Army game?
