Sounds like a great idea but is it too late to do? Does anyone know if there is any contract that locks Fairfield women into AHY for all regular season games and if so for how long.

It is a shame that the current students don't much about Alumni Hall, a place that Sports Illustrated once called one of the hardest places for a visting team to play. Even though it only seats 2,479, you are only a few feet from the action. The refs hear you, the players hear you and the visiting team can really hear you. Add the Pep Band, Cheerleaders, Dance Squad and back bleachers filled with screaming students and the current students will get to experience something that doesn't exist at AHY. Granted there is no beer, no expensive food stands,(half of which are never open for the women's games anyway),no high ticket prices, or parking garage fees but get your beers after the game at the Levee, have your food at the Campus Center before or after the game, buy your Fairfield fan gear at the Bookstore and have some fun!

My guess is that it sould happen but probably won't.

I thought Mark Reed said last year, that he was trying to get some men's or women's games at Alumni Hall. I am pretty sure that the current contracts calls for all games to be at AHY...... this is the last year of that Contract.

Hopefully the new contract is written to allow for some flexibility in playing on campus. And that the women play most of their games at Alumni Hall.
