Seat Selection Overview

The completion of many outstanding, new or renovated athletic practice and competition venues on the Storrs campus over the past few years has been dramatic. We are steadfastly dedicated to enhancing our facilities, for the benefit of both the student-athlete and fan experiences. And now, our legendary basketball homes, Gampel Pavilion and XL Center, will undergo significant improvements.

In 2025-26, the entire lower-level seating structure of Gampel Pavilion, original to the building when it opened in 1990, will be replaced. New chairback seats will be present throughout the non-student seating areas in the lower bowl, in addition to handrails in the aisles to enhance the experience for our loyal season ticket holders.

Similarly, our hoops home in Hartford, XL Center, will also see substantial changes for the 2025-26 season, including notable upgrades to selected seating areas and new premium seating options. These renovations will be among the most significant to occur since the building opened its doors.

We are extremely excited about the transformations to our two home venues, which will more appropriately reflect the pride and expectations for the Basketball Capital of the World. Since the physical structure of the seating will change for the 2025-26 season, all current season ticket holders in the lower and upper levels of both Gampel Pavilion and the XL Center will be required to participate in a seat selection process from May 19 – June 13. This will allow you to choose from available seating inventory.

Current season ticket holders will have the opportunity to select seats in their existing venue, but only for the same number of seats they currently hold. Adding seats in the same venue or purchasing tickets for another venue will not be allowed to ensure that all current season ticket holders have access to seats in the selection process. New patrons will not be able to participate in the seat selection process and cannot purchase season tickets until after the process is completed, should they still be available. As such, we project that all current season ticket holders will be able to select seats during the seat selection process, before inventory is exhausted.

Consistent with Husky Athletic Fund guidelines, we will endeavor to make the selection process fair and equitable, while maintaining our core philosophy to accommodate as many of our dedicated donors as possible. Seat selection timeslots will be first allotted to Husky Athletic Fund donors who have made lifetime cash (not pledged) gifts of $1 million or more to UConn Athletics, followed by donors at large, based on priority points.

The forthcoming enhancements to Gampel Pavilion and XL Center are a testament to the student-athletes, coaches and staff who have laid the foundation for our basketball greatness, and the legions of UConn fans who have been committed to our mission for excellence. As the college athletics landscape continues to evolve, including the projected introduction of revenue sharing with student-athletes starting in the 2025-26 academic year, your continued and enhanced participation will be vital to our ongoing achievements. Together, we will experience a new era of UConn Basketball and share the pride in what promises to be a bright future.

Season Ticket Maps & Prices

Below you will find important information regarding basketball season ticket maps and pricing. With numerous structural changes, you will see significant updates to the seating maps. Additionally, we have included a three-year pricing schedule for both men’s and women’s basketball. It’s our intent that by providing a snapshot for the next three years, you will be able to make informed choices when selecting your seats. Please note that while season ticket costs will modestly increase over the three-year period, seat donations will remain consistent and not subject to an annual increase. We hope by continuing to offer various price levels and options for every budget, you will be able to select seats that accommodate your current needs, based on availability.

The season ticket prices below are based on a projected total number of home games which may be a combination of preseason and regular season home games. The season ticket packages include the following games :

  • Men’s Basketball at XL Center – 8 games
  • Women’s Basketball at XL Center – 7 games
  • Men’s Basketball at Gampel Pavilion – 8 games

Should additional games be added to the home schedule, the season ticket cost may increase to reflect the added game(s). Seat donations will not be impacted by additional games.

FAQ

The restructuring of the lower level seating area in Gampel Pavilion involves the introduction of various different physical seat types, which is typical in arenas across the country. This seating renovation will enhance the gameday experience for our loyal supporters. As such, with a new seat map, it would not be possible to overlay season ticket holders into the exact same seats as previously held. While our normal protocol is for season ticket holders to renew their seats annually, there are circumstances which may periodically arise, like the Gampel and XL Center upgrade project currently underway, which trigger a diversion from the regular renewal process. We recognize the anxiousness that may accompany situations involving change, but please know that we will always make best efforts to be as fair and accommodating to all of our season ticket holders as possible, within the established process and consistent with Husky Athletic Fund donor policies and guidelines.
