We'd prob have to like remove the top deck from The Rent or something.... Place would always be an empty concrete coffin... Oh wait...

Yeah... the way I see it we're only a matter of time away from this at the rate season tickets and general interest in this program is headed. Honestly, I'm sure they'd take whatever extra revenue they can gain from the advertising dollars.
A few other examples:
at Rice...
at Northwestern...

Rice is another cautionary tale for us. They used to be in a power conference, the SWC. Their stadium seats 75,000. There are still about 55 - 60,000 seats available, even with the end zone seats covered with tarps.
They're lucky if they get actual attendance of 5,000 at their games as a C-USA team. Imagine what that looks like in their cavernous stadium.
At least the Rent only seats 40,000. 5,000 looks like a whole lot more people in a 40,000 seat stadium than it does in a 75,000 seat one, but that definitely doesn't make it a good thing. That's where we're headed if our administration doesn't get their collective heads out of their asses. It's high time for them to terminate our clueless head coach and his merry band of know-nothing assistant coach cronies.
We will likely be playing games at the Rent with the entire upper deck tarped over pretty damn soon if the UCONN administration doesn't fix this mess. Think about what that will look like on TV.
