Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 5037186, member: 1609"] . I love the comments telling me not to complain about the distance when its too far for 18— 20 kids on a free party bus ride to go about the same distance.is a deterrent . To be clear I was actually coming from Litchfield county and got dropped off . I probably left my daughters at 3:30 or 4 for But you might say I’m not a casual fan. My grandsons who’s not a fan attended a game in Hartford the year before and commented on how much more convenient Hartford was. Here is the reality the current location is not a deterrent to becoming respectable and becoming established especially in a top conference I agree the people who say then the distance doesn’t matter . UConn football is far from established and needs to create the casual fan into a permanent one. We recently had a similar situation in Phoenix The Cards stadium is inconvenient for most of their fans considering where they come from although they complain about it but they show up anyway The Coyotes built an arena next to Cardinal Stadium even though the majority of their potential fans are on the east side . Being less established people didn’t go in enough numbers to sustain them so they tried to move to the East Valley . They then failed to get a new arena in the East and are now in Utah. Hockey failing in Phoenix at the time of the year when every other resident is either Canadian or from the upper mid west is testament to incompetence. To be clear i wouldn’t go to an NHL game if it was in my neighborhood us old Whaler fans are a bitter lot. [/QUOTE]
