Message: [QUOTE="Kolumbo, post: 5110913, member: 4613"] 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. [/QUOTE]
