I live in Fairfield County.  I often think that if I lived closer to Hartford/Storrs I would go to every game.  It means leaving my kids with my wife for a night, either working from home that day and sitting in traffic or coming from my office in midtown.  We all have lives, where we need to get  done and prepare.  Someone comparing the fans to the players and coaches who this is their entire livelihood and focus and are getting paid lots of money by the state, the school, and the fans.

Coach can game the schedule so these cupcake games allow him to learn in game and test different lineups, but for the fan we cannot disrupt our lives twice a week right now to watch a glorified practice.

If the seats were truly sold out to fans then there wouldn't be empty seats.  I made sure my XL season tickets were in the hands of someone who would be there.  There's obviously a huge amount of tickets that were either sold for resale purposes or instead reserved by the ticket agencies to resale.

It's going to be even worse in XL next year when many season ticket holders like me realize that Hurley wants to just schedule the competitive games on campus.
