So if you ever think about complaining about the location of SU ever again, just take a trip to UCONN.
Talk about middle of nowhere.
You think is Marshall Street is bad? UCONN students would die for the opportunity to eat pizza at four different places.
Operations Manager Wes Purvis ’10 and I took a trip to Storrs not for our own enjoyment, but for the purpose of covering the Syracuse men’s basketball team on the road. Ever since we started this ‘CitrusTV Travels’ segment on the blog, the Orange hasn’t won a game away from the Carrier Dome.
Coincidence? I sure hope so.
The biggest thrill of the trip was that the game was at Gampel Pavilion – an 8.000 seat arena right in the heart of campus (UCONN also plays games at the XL Civic Center). Nothing can compare to 31,000 screaming fans at the Carrier Dome, but if Syracuse ever builds a basketball only facility, I hope it’s like Gampel.
Next up for the Orange is a trip to it’s home away from home – Madison Square Garden vs St. Johns.
