As much as the parade has been a tradition, I completely agree with whaler's first post. I understand the logistics of having the parade shipped over to the Rent would be a pain, and there probably would not be a lot of people that would transfer from hartford and over to the stadium for whatever reason. However, I cannot fathom any other reason beyond something insane such as Hathoway and Emmert teaming together to make our plans that we would not in some way shape or form have the UConn team and trophies there at the stadium to at least draw SOME additional attendance to the spring game (for the record I like Carl Spackler's idea of the tent & meet and greet). Over the course of the last year I've come across more and more people that are one sided, either Football or Basketball, and for a state school that is as small as ours, I can't for the life of me see why we don't get more crossover from such a tight fanbase, and feel this would be an excellent opportunity to expose those that are just basketball oriented to the fun times that are gamedays at the Rent.
LIke I wrote, seems like a post midnight six or seven drink minimum idea.
