UCONN Football!!

Navy plays the University of Connecticut Huskies on Friday 01 November at the Pratt & Whitney Stadium’s Rentschler Field in East Hartford. (Note: It is not at Storrs.)
Game Kick-off will be at 2000.

Here are the Chapter’s plans:

1. Thursday 31 October 2019. Connecticut Alumni Chapter Blue and Gold Happy Hour.

The Chapter will hold an informal no-host Blue & Gold Happy Hour at City Steam Brewery, 942 Main St, Hartford, CT 06103 (downtown Hartford) on Thursday evening starting at 1730. No RSVP necessary. Just come and get an early start on your football week-end.

2. Friday 01 November 2019 - Navy Tailgate.

The Connecticut Chapter along with the Connecticut Parents’ Club will host a tailgater 3 hours prior to kickoff to 1 hour after the game under the tent in the Cabela’s parking lot at 475 East Hartford Blvd. N., East Hartford 06118 (directly adjacent to the stadium parking lot). The Navy Cheerleaders and Bill the Goat along with the Superintendent will join us to cheer Navy to victory against the “Huskies.”

The Tailgate will feature a BBQ from Cabela’s Candlewood Grill for $33. A kid’s meal will be available for $15. The menu includes Hamburgers/Cheeseburgers, Chicken Fajita Kabobs, Grilled Kielbasa, and all the fixings.

Please sign up online www.usna.com/tailgates (choose the UConn game link). If you prefer to use mail instead of the online sign up, send your RSVP with payment to: Tom Hogsten ’85, 27 Bobwhite Trail, Gales Ferry, Connecticut 06335. Make checks payable to: USNA AA CT Chapter.

All signups and reservations must be received, and payment made NLT Tuesday 29 October.

The Navy-UConn Tailgate is sponsored by USAA, Cabela’s and SignUpNow.events.

3. Tailgater Parking.

There will be ample parking in the Cabela’s lot for tailgate attendees. It is a short walk from the tailgate to the stadium, so you can leave your car at Cabela’s if you would rather avoid stadium parking. If there are any guests who need assistance getting from the tailgate to the stadium, please let President Alan Weigel know so we can make arrangements to accommodate your needs.

Go Navy! Beat UConn! Beat Army!
