I’ve seen soccer and basketball games, but I haven’t ventured off-campus to see football in my 1+ years here in Storrs.
Today, I made the journey to Rentschler Field to see the UConn v. Buffalo Game.
UConn won!
Here’s a photo and some notes on the experience of sitting in the student section:
-People were giving out Whole Foods/UConn branded bandanas.
-Band played “Iron Man” — just like I use to play in the GHS Marching Band.
-Water bottles were $4/each. For obvious reasons, students were not allowed to bring their own containers into the stadium. Unfortunately, it was really hot out.
-Corollary: it was a really sunny day.
-Some random people in the student section sang “Who Let The Dogs Out” during the game. Fun fact: a friend of a friend who went to the game attends BU, so I guess the song could apply to her school’s teams as well.
-Learned a new tradition: “Stick it in.” When UConn enters an opponent’s red zone, the student section moves their hands from left to right to the drumming of the marching band. After a few seconds, we move our hands forwards and back and shout “Stick it in!”
All in all, nice day!
