Message: [QUOTE="coachcap, post: 4419170, member: 621"] That an electronic billboard promoted Husky football? We used to be inundated with these ads in the Hartford, New Britain & Waterbury areas on I-84 & in Meriden off I-691. This week is Senior Day with a Top 25 opponent & bowl eligibility at stake. It's a perfect time for "Last Chance to see YOUR Huskies at the RENT this season" type of ads. Visual reminders are important to ticket sales. I can remember Army Football ads in Waterbury a couple of seasons ago. The Cadets thought enough of this marketing approach to promote Army football deep in the Nutmeg State. Much has been made of the significant increase in RENT attendance the last two games. From my perspective, the numbers were padded by fans of close-by regional opponents, In Section 103, many seats that formerly were packed in Husky Blue were either sold of donated to fans of the Thunder Chickens & Minutemen. This week's game will be a truer gauge of whether or not Husky fans are being lured back to the dog pound. UConn marketing should use every opportunity to promote this matchup. [/QUOTE]
