Very interested to see the atmosphere in Bridgeport on Saturday.

The crowd was quiet in the beginning but got better as the game progressed. We were the only people cheering loudly in our section, there was a smattering of applause at the right times.

Did the football cheerleaders lock up the U-C-O-N-N letters after their season ended? That would be an easy, great way to get the crowd amped up.

I saw President Herbst leaving the Arena and thanked her for the chance to see the Huskies in Bridgeport. She said that it was a good afernoon and the women will be back in a few weeks. Hopefully there will be more games in the future, I think Fairfield and New Haven counties showed well today.

We arrived downtown at 11:30 and found free street parking before going to Tiago's for lunch (great burgers and sandwiches). It was an easy walk to the Arena and a five minute drive to 95 after the game. The concourse was very crowded at halftime, I'll plan better next time.

Disappointed that new football coach Diaco wasn't introduced during one of the time outs like he was at one of the XL Center games. Seems like a missed opportunity to get some face time with southwestern Connecticut fans.

Huskies are really loved down here in Fairfield County.

I already knew myself but surprised someone else actually said that!

It would be very easy for the football team to hold one of their Saturday scrimmages in Bridgeport or Stamford. That would also sell Huskies sports in southwest Connecticut.

Today's game was long overdue.

Yes the traffic was ridiculous. I missed the opening tip because it took over 1/2 hour from the 95 exit ramp to the garage. I will take the train from Milford next time. Oh and wtf $20 for parking.

Train is great. Five minute walk to the platform from the arena.

...it took me 22 minutes from exit off 95 to park my car.

What was your secret for getting parked so quickly?
