Message: [QUOTE="Kemba Time, post: 4844045, member: 2962"] I think Hurley and his players like playing in Hartford a lot more now that practically every game is a sellout and UConn games have become the thing to do in the state again than they did when he first got here and he was looking up at 9,000 disenchanted fans for losses to UCF and Tulsa. Pretty much everyone can agree that XL/Hartford is a really strong environment when it is sold out and rocking, and that's what it's like every time UConn takes the court now. It wasn't exactly loved at the time, but one of the smartest business decisions our AD has made was attaching multiple XL non-conference games to purchasing tickets for the best Big East games. It created new revenue from excess supply and has also filled a lot of seats for those early cupcakes. [/QUOTE]
