Great opportunity that I used to trash Gampel Pavilion’s amenities. Thanks.

Laughed out loud at the parking questions. Fighting over Gampel parking really was the weirdest day on UConn twitter. Good opportunity to mention how terribly small the concourses at both venues are and to fight for at least one Red Panda halftime performance a year.

The Boneyard isn't listed as a primary source of UConn information. They need to catch up.

Favorite tradition: Husky Slide - bring it back, broken ribs are for winners
Biggest complaint: Lines/Concessions at Gampel
Halftime: Red Panda
Parking at Gampel? "Cash lot" because I'll never tell them where I park for free, lest they take that lot away too.

I am not much of an amenities person. My only complaint about Gampel won't be fixed by a survey. It's the lack of leg room in the seating. I don't ask for much, but I prefer to be comfortable watching a game.

Gampel bleachers are brutal...especially when people behind you refuse to stand during big runs.

I added the unnecessary over charging for parking at Gampel. Why is it 10 in Hartford and 15 there? It's not like thr lots at Gampel are closer to the building compared to Hartford.

Bleacher seating at Gampel has always been like sitting in a sardine can. They wanted to get as many fannies in that building as possible. Concessions are a disaster also. If you look at the newer college arenas, there are less seats but more amenities for the fans. Fairfield has a beautiful new arena.

I'm inclined to believe that a 3,500 seat multipurpose arena is not a step up from Gampel. That may just be me though.

Got my pet peeve about the concessions staff at Gampel not letting you keep bottle caps out there

If it bothers you that much, bring your own. LOL

No one is going to gampel for amenities

Never thought about this until now. This is actually a good idea lmao

Huskies Slide! The best! Wear protective equipment if needed but bring it back! Kicks it up notch

Yea I mentioned concession lines but added in at the end that all I truly care about is having the best atmosphere possible

The team only loses on the road so there is not much drama to look forward to.

XL:
1. Open entrance across from Russian Lady not just exit.
2. Get a tee shirt cannon. Throwing the tee shirts and the slingshot is a joke. Very lame.
3. Check the decibel level on the music and set so as not to cause damage to hearing. Not every game but 2 or 3 games this year the volume level was criminally loud and definitely caused hearing damage. That's just not right.

Re:
2. They need to bring back the t-shirt gattling canon they had back in the original BE days. That thing was a blizzard of t-shirt blasting mayhem.

That would work. I thought, why not bring out the UConn QB's and see how they launch the shirts to those of us in the cheap seats. Bring the baseball team too.
This is fantastic

The cannon doesn't even make it to the upper section of either venue.

The single barrel and gattling gun cannons they used to use did.

Get the baseball and softball teams to throw t-shirts. They did it best.

 

[Deepster]

Honest question.

Does any adult here really care about a free t shirt?

 

[Bonamassa]

No but the survey was about improving the game day experience. Lots of kids get excited about getting a tee shirt. Kids are the future fans. If you're going to do it, do it right.

 

[BIIIG]

Do I care about getting a t shirt? Not really….do I want to catch a shirt flying in the sky? ABSOLUTELY
