Message: [QUOTE="Scottobot, post: 5119748, member: 12452"] Alex is justified in being upset, but the fans should not be blamed for this. Blame the UConn AD or whoever schedules these games. It is pretty amazing to sell 15,000+ tickets to a “division 2” opponent on a Wednesday night 30 minutes away from campus. Why is UConn playing more than 1 or 2 home games a year in Hartford? Duke and UNC don’t play a bunch of home games in Raleigh or Greensboro. What other major program does that? It made sense before Gampel was built and UConn only had the 3000 seat field house, but doesn’t make sense anymore. It certainly makes absolutely no sense to play a practice scrimmage game there. I am certain the players would much prefer to play these games on campus. It time for a change. Just play a couple of big games at the civic center each year and leave it at that. Maybe schedule those around the holidays when students are not on campus. [/QUOTE]
