UConn & Front Street

[GemParty]

I was reading a real estate article the other day Courant? That talked about Front Street business readying for a big boost in foot traffic.

Changing menus, decor, creating social areas in preparation of the downtown campus. I thought I read, in addition to providing lecture hall space, Spotlight Theaters may begin showing games. That would be pretty cool with friends. That area is going to take off. Places like Arch Street Tavern & Bears are gold mines.

Prolly want to throw an OT up there...

This is 250 times more annoying than someone forgetting to put OT in front of something that any moron would recognize as being OT.

I'm considering banning you for like ten years for just existing.

Thanks Medic.

If he is telling us about a movie complex that is showing UConn games, is that off topic?

That would seem on topic to me and not require an OT. Can we get a judge's opinion?

BTW, he is correct. The cinema will show both football and basketball games.

Spotlight also awaits the university's approval to accept Husky Bucks. During UConn football and basketball seasons, all televised games will be shown free inside the theater, and open to the general public, Gallo said. Spotlight's airing the last three seasons of ESPN's "Monday Night Football'' games on its big screens has been a hit.

Wait, what?

so we are desperately trying to get more students to attend games and now just down the street or across the river, we are telling our students.

hey, do go the games, just sit in this nice comfy seat with your popcorn for free.

They better make this only away games....

Away games with a few hundred fans would be epic. Get the popcorn & Sour Patch Kids ready.

Any Yarders going to be students downtown?

 

[JSM1970]

Huge, take the Fastrak 40 minutes to downtown to catch the UConn-ECU game

Didn't they put a sports bar @ Storrs Center, wouldn't that be easier and better to go to

Why would Storrs be easier when you just got out of class in downtown Hartford? We play plenty of exciting big away games.

 

[JSM1970]

Ok, good point, marketing to the Hartford branch. How many students will be attending there?

KO likes the Capital Grille for dinner with recruits - he may like it more than they do. It's an older crowd.

UConn Hartford will have -about- 1,500 undergrads and 1,600 graduate students. There are about 400 faculty and staff.
