STORRS, Conn. - Season ticket sales for the 2010 University of Connecticut football season have surpassed the 20,000 mark with nearly four months to go before the home opener on Sept. 11.
Connecticut sold approximately 26,000 season tickets last year as the Huskies played in their third-consecutive bowl games and posted a win over South Carolina in the 2010 Papajohns.com Bowl.
To order UConn football season tickets, go to the Ticket Center at UConnHuskies.com or phone the UConn Ticket Office at 1-877-AT-UCONN.
The Huskies return eight starters this season on both offense and defense and Athlon Magazine has already ranked Connecticut the No. 20 team in the country in its preseason yearbook.
"We're excited about the response from Husky fans for the 2010 football season," said UConn Director of Athletics Jeff Hathaway. "I want to thank our season ticket buyers for their great support. Season ticket holders will enjoy a great home schedule this season and will also have priority on tickets to see several highly-anticipated home opponents in the coming years. If you have not yet renewed your seats or if you are interested in joining the team, I encourage you to act now and be part of UConn game days at Rentschler Field."
The 2010 home schedule features BIG EAST game against West Virginia (Friday, Oct. 29), Pittsburgh (Thursday, Nov. 11) and Cincinnati (Saturday, Nov. 27). The non-conference slate features Vanderbilt (Saturday, Oct. 2) of the Southeastern Conference for Homecoming, Buffalo (Saturday, Sept. 25) and Texas Southern (Saturday, Sept. 11).
Future UConn home non-conference opponents include Iowa State (2011), North Carolina State (2012), Michigan (2013), Maryland (2013) and Tennessee (2015).
