Message: [QUOTE="AllHusky, post: 5066178, member: 6498"] Those 15k kids would turn into 20k when their friends from home and other schools show up to tailgate and go to a game!! How many people are employed at UConn-Storrs within a 25 min drive? My friend works for Dining Services, her husband Employee season ticket discounts. A bunch. Die hard do what I need to do to go to a game fans. How many season tix we have last year. At least them. Has anyone been to Penn St Football? Do you know how far those "hometown fans" need to travel to get to the Happy Valley? I was an hour away i Lewisburg. The locals bar was the Towne Tavern(great black diamond steak $11 1984.) Had some Rutgers friends come out for the PSU-Rutty game in '83 or4, saw the Towne Tavern owners in the parking lot, RV, TV, Living Room furniture, they'd been there since Wed for a Saturday game. Half never went inside. No, we aren't 107,000 Penn St fans in Beaver, but we certainly could be 50 in Storrrs. Build it and they will come, win and more will come. We just need to get our foot BACK in the door. [/QUOTE]
