Message: [QUOTE="TJT, post: 3043331, member: 8605"] Was just thinking about this - is there another college in America that plays less of its high profile sports games on campus than UConn? Think about it - all football games are played off campus at the Rent in East Hartford. All men's hockey games are played off campus at the XL Center in downtown Hartford. Half of all the men's and women's basketball games are also played at the XL Center. Furthermore, it is not as if the Rent and XL Center are in the same city/town close by (such as Pitt with football at Heinz). Both venues are some 25 miles from the Storrs campus. Does anyone else find it a bit ironic that so many of UConn's college athletic events are actually not played at the college? Does this contribute to less less student support for athletic teams creating a disconnect between the two? Should UConn rethink things? [/QUOTE]
