Cuse at UConn, Saturday Oct 3rd Tix and Tailgate

[TexanMark]

It appears we will be playing UConn. I plan to make a ticket buy and host a tailgate.

Non committal...let's start a headcount.

We should be tailgating at the Aero Club.

Nice...we get lots of experienced tailgaters we can go big.

Put me down for 1. I can drive, bring the entire home game tailgate stuff I have in my truck... 3 tables, 1 36" blackstone. Cooler or two, 2 canopy. Hotboxes/food etc. I'm going to see if I can stay at a Homewood Suites which means I'll have a full fridge at least and a stove top to make some hot food if desired. I can also bring a high powered burner for some Cajun Jumbalaya

If this plays out right, I will be bringing the RV for this game.

I was debating on bringing my popup camper and stuff depending on where to stay... I can haul alot of stuff! The best part is Treehouse is up the road on the way!

The lot allows RVs...don't think overnight though. I'll contact the guy I worked with...and find out

Yeah I remember from before, no overnight. But Cabelas is across the street and they allow overnight parking.

Sounds like we might get a bunch for this trip

 

[Domedog84]

6-8 tentative. Was a blast last time

 

[VTAaron]

Did this mean we get and area?

 

[upperdeck]

just for clarity someone might want to fix the schedule page because it defaults to a page that says 2026 but it really the 2025 schedule and people might get confused look at the dates.

Rock and Roll... I only missed the one a few ago as I was at a WEDDING at Simsbury on the other side of town! This was a major bummer for me.... I believe it was after the VT Tech Game that one year...

Huh

Confused too

I'm coming up from Jersey.

Cant believe they took the 7th Home game away...

They do it all the time, or they have it anywhere but at the dome.

Thank Greensboro for that. NC State should be coming to the Dome. We last played them in 2024 in Raleigh and with the additional game NCState has 4 road games and a neutral site vacation in Rio while Cuse has 6 true road games. No rational explanation for that.
Also 5 teams were given a reprieve from the 9 game schedule. Had to be one, but no reason for five. Finally State was able to cancel a road game for the additional conference home game. Only Cuse and Va. Tech had to cancel a home game for a roadie.

TBD, new guy in charge. Likely what we do is swarm the place at gate opening and grab the area by the softball field. It is reasonably close to the bathrooms.

Rufus: Sent you a direct message asking for your contact info

NOTE: This tailgate is open to all...even lurkers. UConn fans attached to your group are fine too.

If you can't figure out the direct message thing send me an email to

I expect we'll be at 100-125 and I expect we'll cut off the numbers at some point.

Ticket pricing should be about $30-40
Tailgate about $15-20
Parking about $20

Pricing is just a guess, however our tix should be cheaper and better than going through SU.

I'll need a firm commitment probably in June.

2 here. If the planets align

Hopefully more if your boys or relatives can make it

BTW if you want to save on parking, there is one motel within walking distance to our tailgate. There might be a second reopening but not sure.

We are at the bigger lot at 560 Silver Lane, we expect to tailgate back of the lot closer to the indoor bathrooms.

There is also a back gate very convenient to the motel and post game exit to the freeway.
