The Ga St. game got a lot more attention by CFB fans than it would've if it aired Saturday at 12

Is that good thing? Pushed the “UConn has no fans” agenda

wait what?!! Wrong on both points.

Some people show up as early as possible, and I believe that is 4 hours before kick-off at The Rent. Some show up maybe 30 minutes before kick-off. Your statement about showing up within 1 hour of each other doesn't hold water Vinny. It is way off base.

Further: going to a game on campus is very different than going to a stadium in East Hartford. Alumni, Parents, Friends go to campus at all different times for all different reasons. They don't close the campus and open it 4 hours before game time. The whole experience is entirely different. East Hartford, it's all about game time. On campus, it's the game, it's visiting, it's dining, it's shopping. You just can't compare the two. And everyone against an on-campus stadium misses that point. Our Storrs campus misses out on so much by having the football stadium in East Hartford and it boggles the mind that people don't see that.

Everyone should go to one game at Penn State and then look at the East Hartford mess with that experience in mind.
Our decision makers can make that transformational change, build an on-campus stadium, and enter the realm of being a serious football school.

I know that I'm not wrong because I'm a season ticket holder and have been for years.

Showing up 30 minutes later than I usually do is the difference between getting one of the first parking spots in the first blue lot, or getting ushered by LAZ and the cops to the red lot despite my parking pass (which pissed me off this year since I paid for the Blue Lot passes).

The fact that you don't know this tells me you either watch all the games from the TV set or have only been to the occasional game and didn't pay attention to it...

You missed the point. Going to a game in East Hartford is nothing at all like going to a game on campus. Nevetheless, you are still wrong. The Blue lot starts filling up way before 30 minutes before game time. Maybe you should try getting there earlier.

Maybe it's time to re-evaluate the type of students that are admitted to UC. Way too many are wok + un-interested . Would they show up if was a Taylor Swift concert ? You bet. Distance would not be a problem.

every time somebody brings up basketball I point out that the student section is smaller for basketball

Less than 29?

I can't tell if you're being thick on purpose or accidentally.

I get there 1 hour before game time. IF I get there 30 minutes before game time, then the aforementioned issue happens. What this means is that the MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SHOW UP WITHIN 1 HOUR OF EACH OTHER.

I hope it's clear for you now...

Not being thick at all. I just think you are wrong. I don't think the majority of people get there within 1 hour of kickoff. Try getting there 3 hours before game time and see what you see.
