On Thursday night, UConn baseball played their first game under the lights inside the new Dunkin’ Donuts Park in Hartford. As an event, the night was a resounding success, even beyond the box score. While games at JO Christian Field are sparsely populated, UConn Nation came out in droves to downtown Hartford.
What makes the attendance even more impressive was that only 200 tickets were sold beforehand, meaning that nearly all the fans at the park bought their tickets at the gate.
The “official” attendance was announced at 2,828 but there seemed to be more in the stands.
