UConn vs. Arizona Sell Out?

[Caronimo]

Didn’t the nova game sell out last year? Felt like it atleast until the team laid a nice egg

Capacity is down to 15564 after they put the bar in.

Yup. See the box score for the game.

Attendance figure represents new sellout number at XL Center.

And that game absolutely sucked. Huskies came out like they were still asleep.

The crowd is going to be rocking. I’ll be there plus 3. Yeah we paid 8 times face value on stub hub but it’ll be worth it for the nice win.

 

[Dove]

A lot of single seats available now. Just snagged a Section 108 seat.

Post-gaming at Hog River Brewery.

I'll be there with 3 of my buds.

That $6 two roads beer sounds too good to be true

Still convinced it's supposed to be $16 and it's a typo but they keep saying six bucks so who am I to stop them...

 

[Beachampion]

Less then 1000 tickets left on Stubhub as of midnight Thursday. I will be there Go Uconn!!!

One thing we should do for the foreseeable future is play Arizona State aka the Hurley Bowl. The Hurleys playing each other should give both schools national exposure.

I don't think Bobby is on board with it.

I wouldn't be surprised however if they end up in the same bracket come March in the not so distant future. The Selection Committee has a way of inventing story lines.

So don’t expect Arizona State and UConn to meet anytime soon. Dan says he’d be OK with it, as long as it’s for a good cause, like the Never Forget Tribute Classic, in which UConn will face Florida State on Dec. 8 in Newark. But Bobby’s not so sure.

“I wouldn’t, unless I had to, if we were both fortunate enough to be in the NCAA tournament,” he said. “We don’t take losses too well. We care about each other too much.”

I think Hurley said he didn’t want to do that, at least for now.

Question. I am going to be about 20 minutes late to the game unfortunately. Where is the best place to park at that point?

 

[Waquoit]

That's a great deal honestly, I'm shocked

But Li'l Heaven isn't one of them.

Once you get under the upper level overhang at the XL, it's like you're in a different dimension. Regarding crowd noise, it's almost like you're hearing it as if you were holding up a conch shell to your ear....could be just me. I also prefer to sit as close as I can

It's not you. It's worse at a concert.

Since when? I've been getting it from the tap closest to the exit since they opened that area, including at games through last season and concerts this year.

I guess I am part of the problem. Alum and love all Uconn sports. Even though I can get a cheap ticket I refuse to sit in the top portion of the upper levels of the XL. I get to several games a year with better seats and it’s great but the seats they sell for 15 bucks really suck IMO and just being in the building is not worth the crappy view.

However the suggestion of getting to the bar is a good one. What time do doors open and is there a big crowd that tries this move?

I agree that the seats in the upper deck between the baselines suck once you get under the skyboxes, around row P or so. And I hate sitting behind the basket. But I have sat in the upper deck in the corner sections, which for a big game is not horrible.

I park across from Yard Goats Dunkin Donuts Park. $10. 2 blocks from XL. Just off I-91 Trumbull St exit

I'll sit upper deck behind a hoop (as long as not too high up) any day and then tomorrow instead of way up there below the skyboxes.

Looks like the amount of dots is shrinking. There’s chunks in the middle upper deck that are unsold but the top several rows nothing shows to be available. I wonder if they’ve been purchased (probably part of the Black Friday deal) or are just not available. I’ve sat up in the upper upper levels and it sucksss. Especially once you’re above the concrete.

what's the LV spread?

Not posted yet. ESPN BPI currently has -4.3 for UConn or a 64.% chance of winning.

The expectation is that it’s going to be Uconn giving 2.5 or 3. Would be pretty much a push on a neutral court. That’s why it’s so important that the fans show up. XL can be a neutral court if it’s half empty.
