Updates on XL Center & Bridgeport Arena games

[tcf15]

Looks like they are favoring Webster Bank Arena over Mohegan Sun. From a location standpoint, that's wise since you can probably draw more people from the surrounding Bridgeport areas.

Source confirms #UConnathletics has come to a tentative agreement with #XLCenter on number of #UConnwomen ans #UConnmen bb games to stage

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
More information forthcoming. Earlier this week, sources said at least 16 of 18 home games not played on #UConn campus for #XLCenter

John Altavilla ‏@jaltavilla
Whatever games not played at #XLCenter most likely to be played at #WebsterBankArena in Bridgeport not #MoheganSun

When was last time we played a "home" game in New Haven? Was during Calhoun's tenure, but early on (87?)

I think we may have played in the New Haven Coliseum as late as 1990 but it may have been an "away" game at Yale.

18 home games off campus? How many could that leave Gampel, 6?

I think they are referring to mens and womens games.

I think 18 off campus games reflect both the mens and womens games.

Good point

I wish all home games were at Gampel but a few in Bridgeport would be great.
