Message: [QUOTE="JB75, post: 3700591, member: 8938"] I still don’t understand the argument for why people wud want ALL the games at gampel? Why not “spread our wings” and have two possible venues? U have to have some games in our state capital - 60% of our games in the northeast corner of state is definitely enough. To me, when I’m coming from new Britain to XL, it’s 15 mins max. When I drive to storrs- by the time u consider off the exit and into parking garage and getting into arena- yer looking at prolly and hour front to back before your in your seat. Prolly more. Big difference, Especially for weekday night games. (And I cant even enjoy a beer at the game) Bottom line- gampel better for the college atmosphere, Hartford much more convenient. Like I said, it’s perfect the way it is. And don’t forget , uconn has been pretty bad since 2014 AND was in a trash conference . XL will be much better and more exciting as we enter big East and get more competitive. I think people on this thread who are anti-XL are thinking about the games against Tulane on a freezing January Sunday at noon during the nfl playoffs- what place wouldn’t be dead? That Memphis game last year was incredible at XL. XL can definitely get rocking. Just sayin. [/QUOTE]
