Marquette game section color map

[GlastonTim]

Here it is

 

[Rocktheworld]

Lol yeah right. I’ll wear blue since I’m in 214 but there’s no way that’s going to be followed by most attendees.

 

[Blue Blood]

No chance Hartford has the coordination to pull this off

 

[CTBasketball]

Gotta supply shirts or it won’t happen.

 

[CL82]

Gotta supply shirts or it won’t happen.

And even then...

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Gotta supply shirts or it won’t happen.

Yup but AD Dave said a few weeks ago we don’t have money for shirts. Even though the women’s team had shirts against Notre Dame. Weird.

Every time you think someone with a clipboard can't come up with something even more stupid ....

 

[Waquoit]

Thank goodness I'm in a Blue section. Besides my not wearing white well, it's a ketchup magnet.

 

[Brad Palmer]

Isn't a stripe out supposed to alternate colors each section? And why is one entire end zone/upper deck all white while the opposite end zone/upper deck is not all blue? Color me confused.

 

[UConnDad]

Is that a headless bird or something?

 

[John]

i can't wait for the promotion where they arrange the arena by height.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Unless you put these color t shirts on the seats it will look like butt

[UCTitleTown]

Forget striping XL, can we get the fans to all be seated at tip-off?

 

[Ha Who]

I am in a white section unfortunately. When I first saw it I thought they were going by the idiotic blue white contest

 

[willie99]

I hate wearing white, damn

Gampel couldn't either. This is a terrible idea all around.

UConn fans literally have a tradition of standing until first score, so no.

 

[Storrs South]

They sent an email to every fan telling us specifically what color to wear based on your seat along with the map.

I too am skeptical but all we can do is try and hope for the best. Yes they should give every fan a shirt to ensure this works but let's see if we can as a collective can pull this off.

 

[firstnline]

I expect a Skittles crowd as usual.

 

[CL82]

Dead golden eagle?

Fair enough. Can they all be standing at their seats at tip-off not standing at the concessions?

XL is usually pretty good about people being in their seats at tip. Do you go to games?

I hear you. I’m in a white section, so I’m going to have to be real careful with my chicken tenders and fries.

Small towels for those attending.

Funny, I’m thinking a M&M crow as usual.

This just seems like an idea that has no chance of working, even if there were shirts on every seat. Blue or white outs don't even work for UConn fans

There's ample evidence of it working when shirts are provided by school

1. UConn - Pitt 2012

2. UConn - Louisville 2014 Google Image Result for https://c8.alamy.com/comp/DR3F1K/jan-18-2014-saturday-january-18-2014-uconn-fans-get-fired-up-before-DR3F1K.jpg, Google Image Result for https://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/venues/mens-college-basketball/day/1956.jpg&cquality=80&h=622&w=1486&location=manual&scale=crop&x=0&y=0

3. UConn - Texas 2014 which was a stripe out see picture at top of page (the last time free shirts were given out to the entire arena for MBB) UConn Men's Basketball To Celebrate Gampel's 30th Anniversary On Feb. 9 - University of Connecticut Athletics

By comparison here's what it looks like when shirts are not provided to the entire arena:

I wasn't in the building for the blue out two weeks ago for PC so no idea if it was a success or not but it looked good on TV

This could also mess up the Blue White chant

Therein lies the true tragedy of this idea.
