Message: [QUOTE="Ralph, post: 2588277, member: 7048"] A big limiting factor for UConn is that some games are played at Gampel and you can't get 8,888 fans in there. If all games were at Gampel the figure might be 6,000. If all were at the XL, likely much higher. I think I heard the announcer say this weekend that the attendance at the Temple game was over 13,000. But it did seem like most of us were over 60 and the student sections were pretty empty. In part it all relates to UConn's location up north of Hartford. It might have made more sense at the very beginning to locate the campus somewhere in the middle of a big circle from New Haven to Hartford to Danbury to Stamford and back to New Haven. But they probably weren't worrying about the fan base back then. [/QUOTE]
