If there are actually 32 thousand or more fans at the game, at least half of them won't be used to coming. Which means that, as we get close to game time, parking will be a mess (because everyone will be stopping to talk to the parking attendants as to what to do) and getting through security will be a mess. Get there early and get in early. Not to please others but for your own sanity.,

That assumes that these thousands of folks who Benedict distributed tickets to actually come. I'm from Missouri on this one but I'd rather the stadium be full then empty.

This is so weird. That wasn't my comment, but it shows me making the comment you're responding too. It was noeynox. I've been framed.

The school let the program crater. I appreciate that coach understands that and is diplomatic about it. The fan base needs to be partially rebuilt. A lot of the glory days fan base has either died or retired to the south. We’ve gotta win and and replace them with young blood.

I have a lot of respect for how well Mora communicates and shows sensitivity to a fan base that has been tortured by bad hires and conference realignment. He’s just a solid, stable and thoughtful guy. He isn’t going to blame us for not being there until he earns it.

Mora is definitely drumming up interest and support the right way. UConn dropped the ball on the last three hires, but Mora is really bringing enthusiasm back to CT. Everything in the offseason has been nothing but positive. That hasn't happened since 2011 after the Fiesta Bowl birth.

If I am not in CA, I be there too. It will be awesome to see a sellout crowd.

Let's go Huskies! We need this win so badly.

I miss living in California. I lived in San Fernando valley for about a year. Expensive but I loved it. Met so many amazing people out that way.

I hope they're only charging two dollars for it.

If that is the case, then there definitely won't be enough...

I have attended some Penn State games and recall attending a game vs Northern Illinois that drew 100,000.....yes, Northern Illinois. If Penn State can get 100k for Northern Illinois, we can get 40k for NC State.

Penn State sells 100,000+ tickets to every game.

Crowd sounded loud on TV. At beginning of game, not many people in the stands. What was the holdup? Was the entry process slow or did fans just decide to come in late?

Traffic was far heavier than anytime in recent memory for a UConn football game. Exit 58 on I-84 was backed up so far that we missed our chance to get in line because we didn't realize the line was for Exit 58 -- we thought it must be for Route 2! We wound up driving past the exit, getting off at the next exit in Manchester and circling back, which also took forever because of crawling traffic. Very different feel from last year. Even though we left home (Bristol) two hours before kickoff, we were still in line at the metal detectors when the game started, along with a LOT of other people.

Traffic was a mess. Had a lot of people heading to the game after work and from the Newtown area it took me 2 hours to get there and park. That drive is normally 45 minutes. End of the first quarter there was still a line of cars up Silver Ln trying to get in. Really needed more traffic direction.
 
Crowd was strong tonight. The corners were the only sparse areas at peak attendance.
As usual, people didn’t really get to seats well into 1st quarter. And at any time, there are probably 3-4K people milling around concourse. My friends were impressed. They were expecting sparse crowds from what they heard about UConn FB.

thought student section was packed and really loud for almost entire game.
As for the rest of the fans, a little surprised but not really that so many left early.
One big play and it could have been a 3 pt game.

Overall, thought it was a good game. Uconn has some things to work on. But The Rent experience was positive from my view.

They always arrive late. ALWAYS.

Yesterday it was warranted because of the unusually high number of fans getting there on a weekday.

Definitely. We got there around 6:30 and the cars were streaming in.

Given the crowd, thought parking was fine. We got in relatively easy. Found a fire road in back and got out real easy.

Curious about that massive building next to parking lot. Thought I heard someone say it was Amazon. Is that true?
