Late arriving fans

Who cares. Really in the big picture this is no big deal. Enjoy the games and the winning

Besides the fact that it really wasn't so.

my first time coming to campus will be for the USF game and it starts at 2. how early would I be able to get into gampel? also what are some cool places on campus that I should check out?

I believe doors open 1 hour before the games start. There shouldn't be any rush to get into that game. I can't speak for what's going on around campus, but there are a few pre-game spots/restaurants in Storrs center and by the X-lot (Ted's).

Leaving Rentschler early has less to do with traffic and far more with no longer being entertained. There hasn't been significant traffic at Rentschler since the Houston Upset and it wan't even that bad.

Hell, most games the best time to leave is when the game ends. By that point the leave early crowd is already out of the parking lot, and you can literally just drive out like it was a non gameday Saturday.

I think people might get the wrong idea watching games like at Duke. Their student section stretches across all the front rows essentially, not just at the ends like UConn, so it appears on TV the place is fully packed at tip-off. Really though, would guess there’s still a good amount of seats empty in the upper decks (though purely a guess, never been to duke games

This. As with most of the crowd complaints here, people go to/watch every game we play, even the bad ones, and then compare them to other schools when all they watch are the best ones

If it was half full at tip off that would be one thing but this happens everywhere. There's always going to be a few running late, or who would prefer one more drink at the bar, or who in their drunken state underestimate the time to get in
