STORRS, Conn. – State of Connecticut public health officials have ruled that in-person attendance at Gampel Pavilion will initially be limited to the families of student-athletes and coaches, with each receiving a maximum of four tickets. The visiting team will be allowed the same. Should conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic improve over the course of the 2020-21 basketball season, the directive can be adjusted.
"I would like to thank the Department of Public Health and the Department of Economic and Community Development for their guidance and expertise throughout this process," director of athletics David Benedict said. "I know some of our fans will be disappointed but their health and safety, along with the health and safety of our student-athletes, staff and university community, is our top priority."
Families of student-athletes and coaches will adhere to public health guidance when attending games, including but not limited to mask-wearing, maintaining a social distance between different parties, and observance of Connecticut's travel advisory policy.
Information and options for basketball season ticket holders will be communicated in the coming days.
