Maybe I'll finally get to go to an Aztec game after about 20 years away...in Connecticut. Should have gone to West Point last year, awesome roadie! Course, ARMY!

Fly into Hartford CT for the UCONN game. The airport is about about 15 minutes north of Hartford. There are plenty of flights to Hartford except there are no direct flights from San Diego. UCONN is about a 20 minute drive west from downtown Hartford. You can also fly into Providence RI. UCONN is about a 50 minute drive west of Providence. There is plenty to see and do as there is so much early American History throughout CT. My daughter lives about 45 minutes south of UCONN in New London. She wears State gear and gets asked about it. They may not know what a Aztec is now but they will when state kicks their butts next year. The stadium is in Hartford, not Storrs. So flying to Hartford is ideal. Southwest flies there and rates tend to be cheap. It is my home airport living in Springfield Massachusetts.

Great Schedule!! - Travel wise, I found this at the Houston Chronicle: "San Diego State will travel 14,300 miles with games at Connecticut, Louisville, Memphis and Houston. Boise State will travel 11,580 with games at Temple, Cincinnati, SMU and San Diego State. Here is a look at the travel mileage expected for all 12 Big East teams: School Miles San Diego State 14,300 Boise State 11,580 Houston 10,104 Temple 9,224 Rutgers 7,666 Cincinnati 7,208 Connecticut 6,746 UCF 6,644 Louisville 6,333 USF 5,950 Memphis 5,906 SMU 5,504 Longest trips 1. San Diego State at Connecticut (4,980 miles) 2. Temple at San Diego State (4,720 miles) 3. Rutgers at Boise State (4,280 miles) 4. Boise State at Temple (4,220 miles) 5. Cincinnati at San Diego State (3,720 miles) Note: Mileage is round-trip from nearest airport to school." blog.chron.com/cougars/2012/12/cougars-will-rack-up-frequent-flier-miles-in-inaugural-big-east-season/ The mileage coming back is immaterial. They'll be sapped from playing and will have a day off the next day anyway. Going there to be game ready is what really counts so if you cut that in half it's not that many miles. Hell, flying to Hawaii is over 5,000 miles one way. SAN to HNL* is 2,613 one way. * Legitimate use of airport codes.

Maybe I can make the UConn game. Last Aztec game I attended was in 1989, I think.
