Are fans allowed to attend either today or this weekend against URI?

Not yet (from UConn Baseball schedule page):

“UConn is continuing to follow guidance from the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health, which recommends in-person attendance be limited to friends and family of UConn student-athletes and coaches only. We will continue to adhere to this guidance until it is safe to welcome fans back to campus and will communicate any changes to this policy immediately.”

Couple of more weeks I was told...

I wish I could be at that game. Hopefully in April- who is starting today?

Gorgeous day for the home opener!

Wow! What a gem of a ballpark! Cannot wait to see a game in person. I wonder if they’ll have some HS tournament games there. That would be treat for the kids. Back when I was in my 30’s and still playing hardball, my team played at Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. It was a blast to play at such a neat venue.

During the Sunday broadcast Chris Jones was speculating that the starter today might be Jimmy Wang. We'll see on that one, but it would not be a total surprise to me.

By the way, Boneyard for me today has been acting rather funky when I try to open it or post stuff. Anyone else having problems?

Ball park looks amazing today!

Top 1st, Gallagher stands a couple runners on base, gets three strikeouts in the process. No score.

Watching the game on Husky Vision...kind of strange...it’s behind the radio broadcast (still have CJ on the broadcast) and no crowd noise or any other sounds whatsoever.

Bottom 1st, UConn picks up a run on a throwing error by the catcher. 1-0 UConn.

In past years the UConn video stream would be about a minute behind the radio broadcast. It seems to be about a pitch or two behind the radio now. There is some crowd noise and such (Ed the P.A. announcer) on the radio broadcast.
