UConn - Gonzaga H&H starting 2023 (Seattle & MSG)

[king conn]

MSG probably charges us less than the XL.

GREAT NEWS!

Kinda wish the return game was in Boston like in the mid-2000s series but will never say no to an MSG game. I do agree though it's a shame that these "big" games are seemingly never coming back to campus (or even Hartford). Really disappointing. Getting to the point where having season tickets is useless, just buy tickets to the 1-2 good BE games.

Boston? No thanks. I was at that 07 game. Boston does nothing for us.

People calling this a road game but technically this is another neutral site correct?

Game should be played at XL or Gampel. No reason to be at MSG.

Can’t wait for Long Island at Gampel this year.

there's always been an element of taking the season ticket holders for granted (not just in basketball) despite who's in charge of the athletic department.

I agree, a good OOC line-up but zero for the season ticket holders at XL and Gampel. I understand MSG exposure, TV, and recruiting. However, not to put a season ticket holder filter on when scheduling, continues to be frustrating. When season ticket/seat donation prices continue to escalate, the value they deliver becomes even more essential.

There a many valid reasons to play at MSG but there also should be marquee, non conference games at Gampel and XL.

So MSG isn’t our 3rd home anymore? That’s a home game imo. I think the days of true home and homes are coming to an end. We do have Kansas next season

 

[ZenConn]

AJ Price!

 

[Brochacho]

Cool game but a home game would be fun. Could be misremembering but between Hurley year one through last season I think we have only played Arizona at XL and Florida and OSU at Gampel with no home games scheduled for this year or next.

 

[shizzle787]

Whoever negotiated this needs to be replaced. The home game should be at XL. It’s great we are playing Gonzaga but not at home? What kind of weak sauce is that? We have the leverage, not Gonzaga. We have championships and the Big East. They have coulda shoulda and the WCC. Scheduler got outplayed again.

 

[shizzle787]

OOC schedule currently is:

2 away
3 MSG
0 home

They can schedule 6 more games OOC. I assume at least 5 will be cupcakes. Need 1, just 1, good team OOC part of the season ticket package in Connecticut.

2 big home games and the schedule is perfect as long as we avoid the sub-300 dregs.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Unfortunately coaches are becoming very soft about true road games OOC nowadays. This is nice, but hopefully there’s something coming in CT.

 

[wheelerdog]

Seems like this would have been great on campus matchups. Oh well

 

[Sick Puppy]

Good. We can beat the tar out of them every year for threatening our first NC.

 

[navery12]

The 2024-25 OOC schedule is shaping up nice right now too. 3 games in Maui and a "home" game against Gonzaga

 

[auror]

It's possible that we will control the tickets and staff and not split revenue evenly, which makes it a home game. Similar to how the Big Ten has been doing conference home games at MSG.

Kansas too, no?

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Im curious what the logos on the court will be? It’s not like MSG or Climate Pledge Arena is going to put either teams logos at center court. They’ll probably make up some stupid name for these games.

BTW- I attended the Coldplay grand opening of Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. It’s a real state-of-the-art venue. The first net zero carbon arena in the world. They have that Amazon Just Walk Out technology where you just swipe your credit card before entering a shop and can take whatever you want and walk out and it tracks what you took and charges you.

If our AD wants to start including MSG games in our season ticket packages, fine. But until then, they need to give us some home games. I'm not paying $1500 a year for XL/Gampel and then another $1000 to go to MSG 3 separate times.

If they included MSG into your season ticket package the price would jump from $1500 to $2500 or more.

Kansas too, no?

Kansas is just one game this upcoming season

 

[BuffaloHusky]

I understand wanting P5 home games but the MSG game is next year and there is plenty of time to schedule something next year. As for this year... does anyone know the status of the Gavitt Games?

Matchups will supposedly be announced in the next few weeks, UConn will not be in it though

They're both neutral court games. Gonzaga to Seattle is a 4.5 hour drive.
