Message: [QUOTE="UConnMike04, post: 5356853, member: 1643"] Was there yesterday for the hockey game (I actually liked the arena), and am an ‘04 graduate. The campus is incredibly different from just 21 years ago. Ted’s is still there (but expanded with a new covered patio like portion to the side), but Huskies/Civic Pub are gone. Not a big fan of Huskies now in downtown, it’s more of a restaurant type feel which is fine - but not what we all remember. McMahon, Northwest, North, Towers, Alumni and East campus all seem the same with some minor renovations. South campus was “new” for me back then, but now that’s even “old” as they put a whole new dorm smack in the middle of the quad. It makes no sense and is quite ugly in my opinion and completely took away the quad. X-Lot is forever gone as there’s a huge building there now. I heard where Sgt Peps/Civic Pub was is going to be torn down for apartments. Love downtown Storrs though, wish we had those amenities. The Student Union is much better also, and weird seeing the old “outside” portion while being inside. Overall, it’s a beautiful campus but looks a lot diff than just 20 years ago. [/QUOTE]
