So the new AD wants to improve the game day experience...

[Woof 101]

Holy Crap! I'm a diehard BBall fan and I've NEVER been to a football game at the Rent. But if we had a game day experience like these I'd never miss a home game.

Hello and welcome to football 7961! Absolutely NO spitting match here just my take on your comment and a few of my own to hopefully get you into the Dog House this year.
The videos you enjoyed from CL82 are great and nothing here against him or her either, I love 98% of all UConn fans. Now to my point, the videos supplied are of VT vs Ohio St and that of SC which have much more history than we do. This along with a much larger fan base. We have a good game day experience, ( I will catch it for this on a few down years ) we have a world class band.
What WE don't have that you saw in those videos is a jumping up and down screaming body in front of EVERY seat in the house. Watch them again and you will see the fans are simply fanatical about bringing their team on the field. We could have Bob on a dog sled being pulled onto the field in front of the team which I think would be great but that would be a small percentage of what makes the game day experience. IT'S THE FANS !
I find it a little strange you would make the comment you did having never been to a game but again, glad to see you here. I hope you give it a shot this year and bring along some friends. I am a fan of both BBall teams also but they do not have tail gaiting to enhance the game day experience.

White out. White out at home. We never wear white in FB at Rent.
White tees giveaway plus everyone has a white tee regardless.
And 5o cent drafts.

86, I like the number, ran it on a car a few times. White out is ok and probably the only way to get a large % of our infancy fan base to wear school colors. But as you say it would have to be a give away as there is very little white UConn garb. Blue or gray is another topic I have drawers full.
As for the 50 cent drafts I think you just wanted to get your white out in and then pick up some likes. It worked for me.

All great ideas. Can you please ask for a Dairy Bar, inside and outside the Rent.

Going to the basketball game today I passed a sign company off 84 in Southington. They must do signage for vehicles as I saw two police cars and what appeared to be a large food truck (I didn't see it from the serving side). That truck had the new Husky logo along with the words UConn Dairy Bar. Maybe someone is listening.

Nice intel... that's Sign Pro in Plantsville. They did the wrap on the Ice bus.

Re the dog pound post about litter around The Jazz memorial,it is the wind blowing litter around. We sit one row down on the open end of the concourse and there are times we sit with litter almost up to our knees, from the wind. The worst is the beer bottles that come rolling down on us. I appreciate your concern however.

UCMB is awesome but it's been the same pre game show since the Rent opened

Battle Hymn etc. Why come early when it's the same show...every week...every year

I like the fun ideas of running out of the tunnel with guest stars or the dog pack

It's not an event to see to be there early. You need to be afraid of what you're going to miss if you're not in your seat early

That food truck makes me so happy.

Or you can enjoy what you see when you're in your seat. But thats a different view clearly.

Other schools call that "tradition".
