Don’t heckle Army.
The Black Knights will visit PAWS ARF on Saturday in a rematch of their Yankee Stadium contest last year, which UConn lost 35-21.
It will be “Military Appreciation Day” in East Hartford. UConn will be hosting a special veterans’ tailgate before the game. And all former and active military members are eligible for discounted tickets by using the promo code: USA.
Additionally, the CT fastrack busway will give free rides to and from PAWS ARF to all presenting proper military ID.
