Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 3584212, member: 2141"] I am a general sports fan and also enjoy going to games to see friends. During my time at UConn, I think the only teams I never saw in a competition was the Golf and Cross Country teams. Heck, I even went to club Polo and Rugby games. Like everyone, I did the lottery and went to men's basketball games. Until my Junior year, I would get out of an evening class (why were all evening classes at MSB?) and grab a lower bowl seat at Gampel to catch the second half of a women’s basketball game or even volleyball. Even went to football games at Memorial and the Yale Bowl, though I remember very little of those two trips. As I had a bunch of friends from high school who swam for other Big East schools, I caught several meets in the Wolff-Zackin steam. Since I played soccer in high school myself and even played (technically sat) at the Connecticut Soccer Stadium for a High School state title game, I went to a lot of their games, such as when I watched my old teammate and keeper get swamped 6-0 against UConn in a monsoon. As a soccer player, I also unsuccessfully tried to date half of the women’s team and thus caught many of their games, too. Once in a while coming back from a soccer game, I would watch a Tennis match or two at the old courts where Burton is today. I only caught a handful of Baseball and Softball games as seating was limited. During my senior year in the Fall and Spring as I lived in Hilltop, I would take my homework on a nice afternoon and watch a Track meet or a Field Hockey games, especially as the team Captain was also a classmate from high school. Except for football, men's basketball, and men's soccer, I think it was all free. It was great being a college student. [/QUOTE]
