WFSB Channel 3 in Hartford reported that 1,500 free tickets have been distributed to students. Nice gesture and smart too. The students are just back from spring break.
You bet!I hope they show up in droves. Make a lot of noise and be their usual crazy selves!
That was one of the student sections. They were great!Wow, Nan - looks like a great crowd. Looked great on TV too. Lots of noise!
One thing I will add - it was mentioned that they "gave away" at least 1.500 seats to the students. GREAT idea. Given that Gampel rarely sells out any more, it's a great way to fill the arena...That was one of the student sections. They were great!
I think UConn had to buy the unused tickets so they were the school's to give away.Students had also been away on Spring Break so that explains the bad attendance numbers for the first round game - and they were just getting back to campus yesterday, so might not have been really thinking about attending - great move by Uconn - wonder what the arrangement is with the NCAA and if they actually have to pay money to them for every ticket used. If they did, I can't think of a way for using my tax dollars that I would prefer!
