UConn football should come back to Storrs, however it can

Despite the size of the stadiums and fanbases, it is very uncommon at the Division I level for collegiate football teams to play their home games off campus.

There are 131 FBS schools. Just 15 of them host their games in off-campus stadiums. Twelve either share a stadium with an NFL team, play fewer than five miles from campus, or both. Two others play in the Rose Bowl (UCLA) and the Alamodome (UTSA).

The last one? UConn, which has its home stadium 20.1 miles away in East Hartford. The distance is tied with Miami (FL) for the second-longest between a school’s campus and its football stadium, behind just UCLA, as the Rose Bowl is 26.
