UConn Intends to Play All Home Soccer Games in New Stadium Once It Opens

>>A source refuted a report that UConn is looking to play games at Dillon Stadium similar to how the basketball teams play at the XL Center.<<

>>Despite a report in the Hartford Business Journal, UConn is intending to play all its home soccer games for both programs in the new Morrone Stadium once it opens, a source told The UConn Blog.<<

All home soccer games should be played in Storrs just as all home basketball games
The new facility will be great and no need to play anywhere else
If they play in Hartford - attendance will be minimal from student body

Conflicted (like basketball). I absolutely LOVE when the baseball team plays in Hartford. Such a blast.

So do the players. With a three game weekend baseball series you can spilt games between Storrs and Hartford and get the best of both worlds...

As if any alternatives should be considered to the campus-home field advantage should be screwed up in another sport ...

A few baseball games in Hartford are ok because baseball attracts a different type of fan vs soccer or basketball. You don't see a ton of students flocking to baseball games in the Northeast

Yeah, but the new soccer stadium is scheduled to open in 2020.

I’m sure the playing at DD Park experience is a lot more exciting than playing at XL for the hockey/basketball teams. Especially when you think about JO Christian Field.
