UConn vs. Wyoming Football series brewing?

Done it. No snow. Not sold that Old Faithful isn’t a guy in an underground room pumping steam every 45 minutes.

Honestly, old faithful, though one of the more popular attractions, is probably one of the least cool. The mud pots, mammoth springs, some of the other weird formations and springs, and of course the herd of bison are all a bigger draw to me. The geyser basin is just one part.

Actually, Old Faithful is still pretty cool, but I agree that there's an amazing assortment of other eye opening natural formations. Bottom line, if we play Wyoming, make sure you visit Yellowstone. It's not overrated!

Old faithful and the geyser basin in general are simply amazing and worth a trip as a stand alone attraction. I just find the others even more so. My point was the amazing assortment with, in my opinion, old faithful being the least of them. I wasn't trying to diminish it, though I see how my statement could be taken that way.

No big deal just a drive across opposite corners of Wyoming, you’re talking nearly 9 hours lmao or at least an extra flight to Jackson (still a few hours even from there)

This is a big country.

Like many things in life, it’s no big deal if you have a strong desire to do it. If so, you’ll make the time and find the money. If not, there are lots of reasons you won’t.

Given your appreciation for the park, you should agree with me that it’s kind of silly to try to tack on a trip to Yellowstone before/after a UConn football game. Yellowstone deserves its own trip, sans hassle of a 9 hour drive.

And given your functional brain, you should agree that most people don’t find something like that plausible, to where it’s kind of silly to suggest. If you just didn’t know or consider the fact of how far the park is from the university, that’s fair

Of course it does, but playing football in Wyoming may be the first time some fans have have ever considered a trip to Yellowstone. If the Wyoming location has now piqued their interest, my suggestion for them would be to try and make it work. It would certainly require some planning and allocating a few vacation days that might otherwise have been spent elsewhere--but if it makes sense and you can treat the long drive as an adventure, I'd recommend it.
