Mohegan

[Chief00]

So we get to boo MAL or will he be declared ineligible by then?

Nah don’t do that - he’s a good kid - nice family.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Not sure what I'm more phased by, Ticketmaster's fees or Chief being right. Already got my tickets and am very excited.

 

[Chief00]

Exhibition?

Yes. I couldn’t give specific particulars until announced.

 

[HooperScooper]

Real game or exhibition?

Exhibition since it's before the other 2 exhibition games.

How the heck do they announce this 8 days before the game and expect to sell out the place?

Just curious - why are you surprised I am right? You been buying into the false narratives of another poster! My track record this year has been nearly perfect.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Yes. I couldn’t give specific particulars until announced.

Expecting a brawl like the last time UConn and PC showed down at a casino?

 

[HooperScooper]

holy sh.... he's right:

Providence V UConn: A Benefit For Hurricane Relief at Mohegan Sun Arena on Oct 25, 2017

This deserves its own thread. I'll start one. Hoping to fill the place with more UConn fans than PC fans.

They expect 8-10k - there was talk of concessions cut too?

Well, you get -10pts for having the announcement date wrong

 

[TopDogs]

With crazy passionate fans who bought tickets the minute they went on sale. I'll see the rest of you crazy passionate fans there!

Would be great - haven’t checked the league preseason schedule

 

[Chief00]

LOL - tough group - did not know details of presale

 

[gampelcrazies]

Got 2 in section 107 row b.

 

[John]

Should I be trying to get stock tips from you too?

blue horseshoe loves anacott steel

 

[kansashusky]

Any chance this is streamed?

 

[UcGrkFrk]

Okay @Chief00 , are we going to see Alterique and Terry in action?

 

[UConnSwag11]

If anyone finds anymore let me know. They’re unavailable on the site. Really want to go

 

[UConnSwag11]

Got three

 

[HawkHusky]

Chief, you're the best.

Wish it was a regular season game, but I'll take it!

 

[FartMan69]

GO CHIEF GO

 

[Son of Robert]

Got 1 section 106

 

[BFieldHusky]

This is good on so many levels. Obviously the biggest is this is for a great cause. A fun event. A chance to see UCONN play at Mohegan!

But also, this team is so new, and getting a chance to play ANOTHER exhibition game against a quality opponent, will help this team get ready for the season.

 

[Guapo]

I believe in @Chief00

 

[DonaldDraper]

Mohegan produces $150 in revenue for each fan outside the arena. Multiply that by 10,000.

As always, the biggest winner is the casino. Brings in an extra $1M+ in revenue on an off night for the venue then writes the facility fee off for tax purposes.

 

[tcf15]

Nice job @Chief00. Hope this is the start for more UConn MBB at Mohegan Sun.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Chief from the rafters!

Exactly right - the Casino always wins - Given fan demographics - males age 25-55 - expect to exceed the average event and maybe bring in $2M. However, being mid week may hurt people staying late?

 

[Wordbomar]

Props to @Chief00 nailing this one

 

[Chief00]

Okay @Chief00 , are we going to see Alterique and Terry in action?

Affirmative.
