Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3133524, member: 489"] Interesting to read all the takes on the football stadium location, the students attendance and everything else. As a casual UConn football fan I was very interested in many games early on season ticket holder myself as well as the company I work for, they were competitive and fun to watch as the opening Indiana game proved. They actually even became pretty damn good soon thereafter. But then a couple of horrid hirings and things fell apart, they aren't fun to watch unless they're playing a team as abysmal as they are. Even then not so sure what's so fun about a 48-45 game with 2 pretty awful football teams. So my take is the stadium is fine there at Cabela's, would've been fine on campus or anywhere within the 30 minute range. They just can't be awful they need to be good, much more competitive and fans will come. They lost the casual fans with the HCPP and HCBD signings and that's on the university no one else. Randy has a tough road, doubt he'll stay on long enough to get them back where they can be competitive even in the AAC. The program is in trouble and where they play for now means little to nothing to me or most casual fans. One party a year just to meet friends and tailgate is about it. [/QUOTE]
