Looks terrific! I wonder where they will move the Huskies of Honor?

Dope.

 

[Austin316]

Wow! Massive upgrade for the squinter community!

 

[50cPitchers]

The old board was one of the last pieces of “university of connecticut” signage we had. Of course now replaced with the vile nike “uconn”. The further we move away from the word connecticut the further we are from god

Guess we’ll have to keep winning with the home CONNECTICUT uniforms then

Is it going to be on both sides or just one side??

Gampel Arena looking good! (Yes, I am being a dick! Lol)

 

[CTBasketball]

Nice. But expand Gampel to have a concourse.

 

[LetsGoUC]

The brand, very successfully marketed, is "UCONN".

Not super clear, but in a comment UConn states:

“The Huskies of Honor will have a new home located adjacent to our improved video boards.”

Both

 

[Waquoit]

Cool, I guess. But what's the ROI?

is it just me or does it seem like it could be a big distraction to the players?

More or less distracting than the 10,000 screaming fans?

They've played in arenas with bigger boards than this and did just fine.

Our guys will be used to it....the other teams, maybe not...

 

[Dove]

Are the corner shower curtain seats still a thing?

 

[AreBee1969]

Excellent upgrade! Those old player stat boards were horrible.

After back to back titles, were really digging deep to come up with doomed scenarios.

 

[RichCTBB]

This is cool....however the biggest video boards in the world won't make up for the fact that the student section can't be along the sidelines.

I really hope your joking. If so, well done this gave me a good laugh.

What's the score in that example graphic? PC 60-26 UConn?

You give people gold bars and they complain they're too heavy.

Its crazy how in 2024 a University thinks its a good idea to get away from it's primary potential market (the residents of the State of Connecticut). The closer the ties to Connecticut the more fans the University can capture outside its direct student/alumni/staff base.

I have never understood it and probably never will. That's why I always try to say I'm a fan of "Connecticut" or "Connecticut Huskies" whenever possible in written communication and even when I'm talking to someone

They should always proudly try to market "Connecticut" as part of their branding strategy because a lot of people tend to follow teams based on geographic association. Who knows - it may help draw more fans to football games outside traditional alumni base.

Those are just my 2 cents. Maybe they looked at the data and determined otherwise. who knows
