I think everyone involved in UConn athletics has made it very clear they want to play all games on campusIs that not a fact? If UConn doesn’t like the XL Center deal go play on campus, or renegotiate the deal.
They clearly don’t want to play all games on campus because they’ll alienate more than half their fans. Or else this would’ve been done already. Believe it or not, the causal fan is unlikely to drive the extra 30 minutes to Gampel.
So go renegotiate the deal. UConn holds the upper hand, without them the XL Center is dead.
Why haven’t they? It’s been almost 30 years and that hasn’t been done…I think everyone involved in UConn athletics has made it very clear they want to play all games on campus
That would be a big mistake for fan engagement.I think everyone involved in UConn athletics has made it very clear they want to play all games on campus
Because it's a state school and they depend on funding from the state.Why haven’t they? It’s been almost 30 years and that hasn’t been done…
UConn could get rid of handful useless adminisration officials and make up the difference. You have serious personal issues.

Because I don't think it's strictly an athletics decision. For some reason the administration feels differentlyWhy haven’t they? It’s been almost 30 years and that hasn’t been done…
Then good riddance to those fake fansThat would be a big mistake for fan engagement.
Says somebody who doesn't know what it's like to drive from Fairfield County to Storrs.Then good riddance to those fake fans
We sell out because fake fans buy tickets.Then good riddance to those fake fans
The administration needs to step up and renegotiate the deal. We send amateur lawyers and businessmen to these conversations and get taken advantage of.Because I don't think it's strictly an athletics decision. For some reason the administration feels differently
