Message: [QUOTE="Fatroony5, post: 3700458, member: 10323"] I’m with you on this one. My issue with XL is it’s like 30 miles off campus and it’s not really that great of an arena. They get too many games IMO. I agree with a previous poster that it’s different in Novas, St Johns, or Georgetown’s cases since theyre professional sports arenas. It’s also part of their branding. People think of Philly and Nova, DC with GTown, St Johns and the Garden. Do people really associate Hartford and the XL center nationally with UConn? Id Rather see Gampel get upgrades and an increased amount of games. They’re 195-37 at Gampel, would be curious to see what the record at XL/Civic Center was during that time. I’m fine with XL getting a few games, but I’ve always felt Gampel should get more each year. [/QUOTE]
