“We are looking forward to this series with Delaware State and to celebrate our state’s two major universities,” said Delaware coach Danny Rocco. “This agreement will create a lot of excitement and enthusiasm for the fans of both universities.”

what is the capacity at Dover? not sure how a high school stadium is going to create any enthusiasm and excitement.....

Hopefully Delaware State knocks up the Hens at least once, because otherwise this “rivalry” (state manufactured) is going to continue to be boring.

Eh, so they lower the capacity by about 15k (UD holds 22k and DSU holds 7k). I'm not sure anyone will notice. This has been a bore of a series since it started. Actually makes people wax nostalgic for West Chester to get back on the schedule - at least they were sometimes competitive. As I said on GoHens, at least the brightside is that as a UD season ticket holder that's two years of us playing this series where I don't need to waste a home game having to watch this crap.

Rumor had it that the CAAsia is using this as an audition for Delaware State. If they pass they'll be given an invitation to join the other has beens and never were's in the band.

You guys have no vision. In 30 years this could be so big they play it here:

And West Chester has a marching band worth watching.
