We can do better than achieve PC levels and I have some very good PC friends
I’m done with worrying about the Joneses. Let’s do UConn, overall I think they’re pretty good at it right now.
Because there are no other good college sports programs in MA (or New England) we are the Patriots of NCAA basketball.
3.5 billion in assets.
I think you are sort of right. It was a long time ago but I believe the “Civic Center” was the whole complex. Arena, shopping area, restaurants, exhibition space, parking garage, maybe even the hotel. The whole enchilada so to speak. The Veterans Memorial Coliseum was the arena like Lutkins LTD was the Dept store and Reins deli was the deli in the lower level. But from the beginning everyone referred to the arena as the civic center, except Arnold Dean I think. He would refer to games at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. At least I think he was the one.
Our big East “contemporaries” as you call them, wish they could have gotten a fraction of the national championships UConn has won. So there’s that.
Why? Who GAS? And Peoples Bank Arena sounds (and looks) better than Fiserv Forum.
That’s peanuts for a bank. Webster Bank a local /regional bank has $80 Billion in comparison
So you're saying there's room for growth? With proper marketing and community investment, perhaps?
Yes, plenty of room for growth. Perhaps, you and I could start a UConn sponsor bank - then there really would be even more room for growth, if that’s the top selection criteria / LOL
Who should the sponsor be, Chief?
Same reason Charles Schwab sponsors the College World Series ballpark in Omaha. Omaha being the home of the Ricketts family, aka Ameritrade.Because they were willing to pay the most.
After Schwab acquired TD Ameritrade in 2020, they just assumed Ameritrade’s Omaha’s stadium naming rights. Potentially, SCHW shells out the most when the newly christened Charles Schwab Field’s naming rights come up for bid.
Yes, but 20 million (over 10 years) is peanuts for for 3+ billion dollar bank. Peanuts is relative.
Ahhhhh
