Message: [QUOTE="zls44, post: 2447906, member: 32"] This is so inaccurate its hilarious. Honest to Kemba, almost every other damn program in the country plays on campus, has fans who travel from very long distances to attend games. But somehow asking a person to make a tough commute from Fairfield to Storrs is like putting them on the cross. The University of Connecticut basketball team is the basketball team of the University of Connecticut. Its primary source of revenue is fees paid by students attending the University of Connecticut. The team is comprised of students of the University of Connecticut. The main campus of the University of Connecticut is located in Storrs, Connecticut. I'm cool with playing winter break games in Hartford, even going to Bridgeport once in a while (even though I truly believe the benefits are a complete red herring). But I feel the majority of the games should be on campus like [B][U]almost every other program in the country. [/U][/B] Good lord, there's a state-of-the-art, NBA-ready arena sitting a stone's throw from Lawrence that doesn't have a tenant. You don't see/hear about KU alums demanding that games be moved to Kansas City. Somehow, some way...they manage. [/QUOTE]
