Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5110540, member: 44"] ...because, as you know, every person going to a football game must arrive at exactly the same moment, which, of course will overwhelm the existing road system... Oh, wait, no, they don't! They have hours before the game to arrive. They can get there early and enjoy a meal and some beverages hanging out, socializing, and talking about the game. This is some thing that I call "tailgating". Remember that concept, I think it's going to catch on. Of course, the biggest reason why they don't care about football, in all likelihood, is because the football games are played 30 minutes off-campus, rather than on campus as they were when you and I attended UConn. I will respectfully point out that saying all games should be located in East Hartford, Connecticut because the students don't come to games in East Hartford, Connecticut is circular reasoning, and really bad circular reasoning at that. There is a reason why virtually every other university in the country doesn't have its football stadium 30 minutes off campus. All of them manage to get people in and out of campus six weekends a year without causing a world ending cataclysm. I suspect we could as well. [/QUOTE]
