Rentschler Field is set to reopen, but what’s the future of the stadium as it turns 20 years old?

[huskymedic]

Nothing particularly new or earth shattering...




(Hearst has also found a way to close the back door access through Outline)

The Rent is great. One of the best things in the state.

 

[huskysupporter]

Great venue to watch a football game - not a bad seat in the stadium.

In another 20 years it will be "historic" Rentschler Field.

Needs a tiki bar under the scoreboard.

and a retractable dome so we can play basketball there for big games. and while I’m in dreamland, multiple Dairy Bar locations, A Bar Taco (for the margaritas), Chowda, and several CT pizza options. What did I miss?

Hopefully they do some renovations soon. While the stadium is a great place to watch a game if they want to get serious about getting fans to come they need to make adjustments.

Plans for the future?

Hope teleportation becomes a reality and put it on top of Horsebarn Hill

 

[BlueDogs]

It’s the best piece of infrastructure in the state. Its a well designed and every seat is pretty damn good.

Looks good to me! Let’s make it happen.

That’s where the new rink/parking is going....

Well we’ll just teleport that to the corner of 195 and South Eaglesville road.

Rink is closer to Freitas just outside of the red, I think. Parking would be used for either venue. But that's just me spit balling it. I like the Rent and it's not going anywhere, but I think that there is room.

Right. You work on developing teleportation and let me know when you are ready to go....

If you have proof of concept, I am sure the Yard can come up with the funding for the seed stage.

They need to take a cue from nearby Dunkin Donuts Park, and have more fan friendly seating, like bar top-bar stool seats, or a picnic table area. Maybe even have an upper deck standing room only area where people can congregate and have a drink or two, or 4. Similar to what the XL Center did.

 

[Adios]

Now that we've urinated and spit all over it, when does a brick facade go up?

This weekend's lacrosse event seems as if it'll be well attended.

 

[Purple Stein]

Can't believe the Rent is 20. Time flies, man.

 

[Chin Diesel]

20 years old???

Almost old enough to have "character" or "quirks".

 

[Blue Devils]

and to think the Rent is a scaled down version of what the Patriots would've played in if they didn't stay in Foxborough.

Kraft can rot in hell. I truly believe we have an on-campus stadium if he hadn’t used Connecticut to get a better deal at Foxboro.

Steam powerwashing all the seats would be a good start and dress up the concrete walls around the field. Replacing the CRDA would be a first good step too. They have no operations skillset or value added.

What did you miss? How about a football team?

If it was a car it'd be a classic!!!

Most ridiculous part was giving in to the neighborhood over a few concerts
