I wondered why the game was in Gillette stadium and finally one of the broadcasters mentioned the renovations to the UMass stadium.

The current stadium is really small. There's no indoor concourse at all. There's not much parking as the closest lot is where most freshmen park, and is a decent walk from the dorms. The lot is generally pretty full. They have an arrangement to play games at Gillette through 2016 I think? This year and next year ALL home games will be at Gillette. I'm thinking this will make "homecoming" a little awkward as Gillette in Foxborough is almost 2 hours from Amherst. They're "free student bussing" to the games. (Glad I'm not ever going to be on one of those busses). I was on campus within the last few weeks and saw no evidence of anything happening to the stadium yet.
