I expect a big walk up crowd with the great weather. I think we get 40k!
Let’s take the opening kickoff and drive the ball down the field and never look back!
Palable buzz? Confirmed!Is there a palpable buzz????????
The only thing I have problem with is the giving away tickets part. At least offering them at heavy discount would be preferable.
But if you’re going to do that you might as well go whole hog. Count tickets distributed and get something out of it.
A certain school that got into the ACC ahead of us used to give away tickets at all the fad stations in Kentucky. Sometimes you have to slum it up.
STHs have a right to be a little peeved but really they should just go enjoy the game.
How about free, just pay shipping and handling of $10FREE gas a ring to it that STEEPLY DISCOUNTED just can't match. Do FREE.
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.
There are undoubtedly some that are unreleased but we are definitely getting close....By my count less than 1,400 available tickets to buy on the uconn site.
Why? Both are land grant institutions. UConn football can definitely get to Penn State’s level with a P5 invite.Comparing UConn to Penn State is a folly.
UConn where it is between NYC and Boston, get the money, fan support, and head coaching can definitely be a strong football program, idk if we get to Penn St caliber, they're not a blue blood but definitely are on that Tennessee, Miami, Georgia, FSU 2nd tierWhy? Both are land grant institutions. UConn football can definitely get to Penn State’s level with a P5 invite.
Jim Mora is a classy guy but I’m not so I will say what he wants to say but can’t. I am willing to take the heat for these comments im about to say.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.
seating is 38,000. Capacity is 40,000.I read capacity is 36k.
UConn should be compared to BC, Syracuse and Rutgers. That's it.Comparing UConn to Penn State is a folly.
