Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1052943, member: 2141"] Agree on that point. Double booking sporting events on the same day is foolish and amateur. Even the smaller sports are hurt because many of our UConn athletes know each other and will attend each other’s games (I think athletes get in free). Last year was a perfect example when UConn had a home Friday night football game against Louisville the same time that the men’s basketball team was playing Maryland in Brooklyn. I have football season tickets and would have enjoyed seeing Louisville; but, I live in North Jersey and I can get to Barclay’s in an hour from my house (drive to Hoboken, Path & Subway to Barclay’s) versus taking around 3 hours to slug my way across I-84 on a Friday night. It was an easy choice and that does not take into account the quality of the event itself. [/QUOTE]
