It might have been 28k, but the parking situation and cone system makes it feel like 60k. I always say to my son that I have no idea what would happen if this crew had to deal with a sell out...
That’s why I park at Silva’s Daycare across the street. Easy in, easy out. 20 bucks.
I certainly hope so. However, FAU only lost by the score of 16-10 Michigan State last week. Michigan State just won at Maryland 27-24, the same Maryland team that annihilated UConn a week ago. I know the sports math and the transitive property does not always work that way, but I am not going into any UConn game thinking they are better than their opponent.
Oh I forgot about Yale in 2021 a few weeks after AD Benedict fired that football carcass of that snake oil salesman, Randy Edsall. Yale was on 25-yard TD pass away from winning that game. If they did, UConn would have been 0-12 that year.
I think UConn may have learned a lot today about themselves and if they play to their abilities, they have a chance. Just have to know what they can do, one play at a time. Come on let's go!
well, all I'd say is get there early and it won't be a problem... but seeing as I was either in school or in DC the entire time I've been associated with UConn I haven't had to deal with that too much

Which makes the 63 we put up all the more impressive.
I got there more than an hour before game time. I didn't miss any of the game, but it was like a police drivers test taking place on the George Washington bridge. They severely overcomplicate the process...
I was there and would agree. Still it was a good turnout
Would agree always an adventure
FAU lost to Army yesterday 24-7, giving up 405 yards rushing while managing only 42 yards on the ground themselves. Army (2-0) might be good this year, but it looks like FAU can be run against, and we look like we can run a bit.
Officially, 32,351. Being there, it seemed to me the peak crowd was maybe 25,000 -27,000 during the second quarter. A lot of the blue seats stayed empty the whole game, which I hate, because it's visually more noticeable. The game was competitively over before halftime, so the crowd got thin during the second half, when UConn played backups and stopped running anything interesting on offense.
Let's ask Air Force if they think UConn embarrassed itself by beating up on a glorified high school team, or if Merrimack is a legitimate opponent. The Mountain West is probably the best non-P4 football conference, and their guys managed to beat Merrimack 21-6. We did what most FBS schools do when they have their [poop synonym] together - we scheduled our first home game against a weaker opponent, and handled them easily.
Bad traffic lane markings coming in and no control at all after the game. From where we usually park, the first blue lot on the left coming up Silver Lane and right turn into the stadium, getting to the far left lane when you leave means crossing 3 lanes of heavy traffic with nobody stopping the on coming traffic to allow cars to turn out of the lot. Too few drivers willing to let people merge.
