That’s not even close to being true. Playing in Hartford makes UConn a ton more money than Gampel. [URL='https://www.nhregister.com/sports/uconn/article/uconn-revenue-sharing-david-benedict-20280891.php']Direct from Benedict:[/URL]

“I know this is a very emotional-driven conversation in the context of our fan base. The realities are we can sell 16,000 tickets, and we do for our men’s and women’s basketball teams when we play there. It produces over double what we can at Gampel. We’re not talking about increasing the number of games we play there, but we have an opportunity to make that more financially viable than it is today because of the work that Oak View is doing, and the state investment. There’s going to be more revenue coming from that building, even than what we’re currently generating, on top of the fact that the agreement is going to be better for us. So, more revenue, more favorable lease, much better. You have that piece.”
