Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 4709420, member: 1522"] We get it, you don't like Stillwater and don't see it as a tourist destination. I think most people would agree with that. I'll let you in on a little secret most people don't think much of East Hartford where UConn plays football, they don't view East Hartford or Storrs as tourist destinations either. Opposing fans visiting If they are making it more than just the game and tailgate they would probably want to leave CT and visit NYC or Boston. There's a bunch of other teams who play in the conference which I would imagine would be more appealing for people to visit than Stillwater or East Hartford, I named some of those places. Then you talked about how hard the locations in conference are to get to. We have these things called airports and planes, there's a lot of these airports not far from Connecticut and they have a lot of planes which fly all over the country. My guess is UConn fans in CT and UConn fans in other places in the country will pick the game or two in the locations they want to visit or are closest to... I pointed out the Big East has the best locations in the country, IMO. I'm a city person and NYC, Chicago, DC, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Providence all appeal to me but I've been to all of them and I choose to go to the Chicago game because I can take a train there and the Milwaukee game because it's a close drive and I make an overnight out of it. If UConn is in the Big 12 and I want to go to an away game Lubbock and Stillwater would be at the bottom of my list because I like a lot of those other locations more but if the game matters most in Stillwater or Lubbock I would have no problem going there for a game. OKC is an hour drive from Stillwater, easy flight there and I like OKC. Also, you can get alcohol in Provo...
