At that point in time the university and the state will be faced with a decision, whether to rebuild in East Hartford or whether to join with the vast majority of D1 major colleges and building an on-campus stadium. There's pros and cons to either decision. On the plus side for building on campus, UConn would free itself of CDRA, an organization which has never run any venture profitably in its existence; have the opportunity to make millions more dollars annually from its football program by avoiding lease cost and being able to earn parking and concession revenues; and by having a football program that's readily accessible to the donor base, the students. On the plus side for rebuilding in East Hartford, it's more convenient for people who live west of Hartford. The University and the state will have to weigh those benefits and cost and make a decision. In the meantime, we get to see games at the ramp which is a terrific place to see a game Even with some emerging shortcomings as it ages. Hopefully, more people will get out to the stadium this year as the Team seems to have had a decent upgrade in talent and should be more competitive. [/QUOTE]
