Two weeks ago the traveling fan base put the bad taste of the NC State loss behind them and showed up in record numbers for the Maryland game and win. The Edsall-ification of that game can be translated to the Jersey-fication of this one: some of our players were overlooked by Rutgers and can't wait to have a statement game against them.

My statement is that I'll be there in the UCONN section, white tee shirt (it's a Rutgers black out) ready to bleed blue. Oh yeah, I might still whine about play calling. And I'll get loud on 3rd down, watch Trevardo's sacks, Kevin Friend's pulls, Geremy's catches, Nick's jukes. But I'll be there.

Who's in?

4-5 of us heading down... looks like my cousin (who is an RU alum, one in every family :oops: ) is getting a parking pass for us but not sure which lot (last time I think it was green? maybe, just up the hill by the bubble) should have a Husky flag flying I think planning on arriving between 8-9 depending on traffic

Last trip down (before ending up with a pass last minute) was planning on either the greek church or Johnson Park (which can be shaky if the weather is bad)

Does anyone know what sections the tickets direct from Uconn are? If I have to go the stubhub route I'd like to sit as close as possible.

I believe its 101 but would have to double check w/ my uncle who has the tix if someone else can confirm

I'm kind of nervous for this game

I'm flying in from CA on some post deployment leave and was hoping to go into Rutgirls and watch our boys knock the snot out of the dirty jerzz

But obviously things are a little sticky now....I really hope I am at least sitting near some UConn peeps so I don't have to endure a football game worth of that horrid accent screaming in my face

As people said above, the Greek Church on River Road is good. I think tailgating is good at the RAC, it's a regular lot. Only downside to the RAC is having to take a shuttle to the football stadium on the other campus. If it rains late in the week, Johnson Park may be closed.

We got our tickets through UCONN: section 112, row 14. These seats are in the corner of the original closed end of the stadium; they face the once open end of the stadium that is now closed and home to the video board. The 2008 and 2010 seats were in the now closed end of the stadium.

Click on the section to check the view:

Wow, that's shocking! Is that confirmed?

I checked the UConn Away Ticket site and the UConn game is no listed as a choice anymore. Don't know if that's because we sold our allotment or too close to the game.

Do the RAC every time. Bus isn't that bad. Leaving there with a loss is worse.

This was just posted on the RU rivals site... looking like it should be sold out by the end of the week... 8,000 students tixs claimed so far with more to be claimed this week... I'd expect 12K students (standing room only in south endzone).

From the below post it looks like there is only 494 tickets left and stadium capacity is 52.5K... Those extra 500 odd tixs should be eaten up by the end of the week... I would expect 53K (with some standing room tixs) for this game...

It has rained the last two days here in NJ. IF the grass is still wet..they may ban or cut down on amount of parking in Johnson park on Gameday.RAC is an option along with Greek Church.RAC parking is allways the safest bet BUT you have to take the BUS over to stadium.

Johnson Park is really the best option for visiting fans, as long as it doesn't rain again this week it should be open. 30 bucks and right next to the stadium.

I am heading down to the game Saturday morning. It looks like Johnson Park will be the best parking option.

medic, not only am I not worried about the safety of me, the Mrs. and rest of family but from what Ive experienced being w/the families at Michigan and Maryland I am quite comfortable no one would be insane enough to start anything before noon with a lot of folks in parents/family group. Very easy to see where some of the kids got their size
