University of Connecticut: 2025 USA TODAY 10BEST Readers' Choice Awards

The women's basketball team at the University of Connecticut has been one of the most successful teams in the nation, with 12 national championships and a record-breaking 111-game winning streak. The men's program has also enjoyed success, landing two tournament titles in the last decade, and...

One school on that list is not like the others, at least as of now. Amazing that anyone would debate whether or not we belong in the P5 yet we make lists like that.

Still #2.

For those hesitant, there’s no pay wall to get to the link and you don’t need to create an account or anything. A few clicks and you’ve voted.
 
Sure it’s great for basketball fans but I’m sorry, the location of the football stadium (and, secondarily, playing half our BB games in Hartford) is a preclusion to being best for sports fans. No student should have to ride a 30 minute bus to games; forget the product.

And I’m a 2012 grad who was around for the best 4-year run the UConn AD has ever had

Anyone who says we couldn't have an on-campus stadium is crazy. There is plenty of land around the campus that could be acquired. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Completely agree. Unfortunately the people of Mansfield don’t have the will.
 
I would rather win the most arrogant and spoiled sports fans.

We can do it. Dave + Lamont, a Big XII invite and a couple more winning seasons and they'll do it.
 
We were one of 20 schools chosen for this and are now #2 out of 20. It's actually disgusting that we're not in a power conference yet and probably won't be any time soon.

Bull pucky.

Like I've said in many other threads, the reason why there's no on campus football stadium has everything to do with Hartford politicians, and nothing to do with Mansfield residents.

I’m completely pessimistic about that backwards populace. Can’t wait to be proven wrong but I ain’t holding my breath; hope you aren’t either.

Please delineate how “Hartford politicians” have superseded the voting public of the town of Mansfield regarding the building of a 50k seat football stadium. References appreciated.
 
I just voted a bunch of times by creating a new incognito session each time. Not sure when voting ends, but I wonder if we can pull of a Kate upset to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat like we did with that Big East jersey contests a while back?

Funds for a stadium come from the state. Hartford politicians have a part in determining where

What the hell are you talking about? No vote on a stadium has ever occurred in Mansfield.

The decision to put the stadium in East Hartford came from the state legislature.

Your comments aren't just wrong, they're plain silly.

I mean I didn’t make this up in my head. It’s all I’ve every heard. This is the first time I’ve heard of Hartford being the main reason an on-campus stadium can’t/won’t happen.
