No Games At Gampel Until March??

[Chin Diesel]

Yes, I realize all of us fans have had access to the complete schedule for several months.

But it just sounds insane to hear an announcer say tonight is last game at Gampel until March.

All Feb home games at XL.

 

[VKong]

Terrible! They are clearly better at Gampel and Hurley always talk about it. I bet he makes a push to have us play there more often. More Gampel = more W's.

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Ice Capades?

Yeah, that struck me as bizarre. A lot better atmosphere at Gampel for the most part.

 

[HawkHusky]

Should play all winter break games and OOC buy games at the XL. The rest should be at Gampel.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Really odd

 

[zls44]

But at least it saves some people 20 minutes in a car, thank goodness, my God, the commute from Hartford to Storrs is like walking across the Himalayas!!!!!

Poor Pantoni

It would kill him, well, you know, if he wasn't already dead.

 

[Palatine]

If they beat UCF in Florida, the XL will rock big time. If....

 

[AntG168]

Arizona at the XL was electric in the first half. I was there. After that Sid 3 I couldn’t hear myself talk. If we win it won’t really matter.

For ECU on Super Bowl Sunday?

 

[Robertelamin]

I’d love to know why multiple ADs haven’t been able to figure out when it makes sense to play at Gampel or XL.

With financial difficulties in athletic department doubt that will happen, potential for greater revenue from XL will win out. Personally I think all games should be on campus - atmosphere 100% better!

We don’t pay rent at Gampel and don’t see food/drink/park revenue at XL. There’s 5000 more seats but I’m not sure how much more revenue there is

sure they are 40 mill in the hole - let’s walk away from the Hartford fanbase and lose their money too.

XL can close faster and the hockey team can play at the bolton ice palace.

teams at the bolton ice palace fall down less often

 

[Waquoit]

In the XL, they don't have to paper the house.

 

[ucawn]

Honestly it’s tough because I feel like Gampel is nicer and better bc it’s on campus and more students will be there. But more people go to the XL for games and you can fit 6,000 more people in the XL. Maybe just make Gampel a 15,000 seat building and make a bullet train from Hartford to Storrs.

Was at the game tonight, it was great to see people flocking to campus early in the day to spend some time at the local bars and restaurants.

They should do every weekday home game in Hartford and every weekend home games in Storrs. Yeah it's not perfect, but neither in splitting the games in the first place.

 

[Austin316]

They should only play non-conference games at XL.... eventually move all games to gampel.

Oh.... don’t forget to add beer vendors.

I agree with a lot of your arguments on this board.

This ain’t one of ‘em.

 

[JimHurley]

I’d give up a year salary to have all games at Gampel. Maybe one big out of conference game a year in Hartford but that’s it. Nothing beats the atmosphere in Gampel. When the students pack in, it’s loud.

 

[uconnbill]

I prefer the games being played at the Gampel but the legislators have made it so the XL has a number of games. I wouldn't mind if a couple early games and those during the college break at the XL, but down the stretch should be on campus

That's what the students evidently think
