The XL "Experience"

[Bill Sussman]

Honestly, I cant stand the DJ at football and basketball games and also that girl that announces something every break. Sure its cute to ask kids who their favorite player is but I find her more annoying then good. Also the U-C-O-N-N chant that they now announce is ridiculous. It was fine before when it was done after a big play by Big Red, we dont need to be told when to do it or not.

The DJ is the worst thing that UConn ever experimented with in gameday experience. We have an awesome band, let them play!

i never leave early.. I don't pay for 3/4s of anything.... people need to stop worrying about beating the traffic and just park somewhere better... i park across from feng and neve rhave to wait too long to get out of there even though people exit from every angle...

Worring about other's leaving early is BS. Worry about yourself. My favorite was at a FB game this year when a bunch of guys were giving people crap for leaving when they themselves got to their seats with 5 minutes left in the 1st half. When I went to the Big House last year, the crowd started leaving halfway through the 4th quarter. I wonder if they have all this hand-wringing?

Give it up, Scoe. That ship sailed a long time ago.

nope, not happening im never going to call it the XL Center ever it was and will always be the Civic Center to me I dont know why people feel like they have to call it the XL Center

Just use your cell phone, the DJ is a joke the rexix was from the music he was playing not his turn tables, why do people feel like they have to call it the XL Center I still call it the Civic Center and will always call it the Civic Center I will never call something by a stadium or arena by a corporate name.

Why don't you just call it "Veterans Memorial Coliseum". That is the name of the coliseum. The building's name was changed from the Hartford Civic Center to the XL Center but the arena has always been Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

too long for me to say lol ive been ingrained with calling it the Civic Center going to Whalers games and Uconn games since the 80s , going to the mall there when it was nice, I do miss the old Civic Center. I would rather call it Veterans Memorial Coliseum over the XL Center.
