Football Saturdays are an important part of the social scene in Connecticut as the tailgating begins four hours before kickoff and a FanFest is held before each game. The Husky Walk is held about two-and-a-half hours before each game as fans are able to greet the team as it arrives at the stadium. Student support is a tremendous asset to the UConn football team as the “Dog Pound� provides vocal inspiration for the Huskies.
