I've been to pretty much every home game this year (other than the playoff game vs. Brown which was during break). I'm personally a big fan of Mamadou and Alvarez. I found that for weeknight games, we didn't seem to get that many fans other than students. There was a noticeable difference. If we could improve our non-student attendance at these games, that would be great. And as for the best part, I think the enthusiasm of the Goal Patrol is something that no other school even comes close to. It's just amazing to be with them.greguconnhttp://greguconngames.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1765686031863105108.post-1795212048312704812011-01-21T04:56:52.000-05:002011-01-21T04:56:52.000-05:00Hey Nick, apparently I can't read.

What I found, however, was that the crowd was nowhere near as active or large as men's soccer. This probably accounts for both the best and worst parts of the environment. Worst, because the crowd seemed almost dead at times. But at the same time, I'd say it was far more family friendly than the men's game. Despite what I say about the Goal Patrol, I would not want a young child exposed to that. I won't reprint the comments in question, but they're pretty brutal at times. At the women's soccer game, it's a much better atmosphere for young children. Which is a good thing. <br>On a side note, when I lived in Poughkeepsie, I often attended Marist College basketball games. I found a similar connection between the men's basketball and the women's basketball. The men's crowd was louder and more boisterous, but also less family-friendly with what they said. (This isn't as much true at UConn due to the success and domination of our women's BB team, though).greguconnhttp://greguconngames.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
