Discover the Legendary Gampel Pavilion

The Gampel Pavilion is more than a multi-purpose arena — it's a legendary stage where championship moments and electric atmospheres meet. Set in the heart of the University of Connecticut’s Storrs campus, it’s a must-visit for college hoops fans and concertgoers alike. With a Gampel Pavilion seating chart that wraps the court in an intimate bowl, you’ll find clear sightlines and a seat that puts you close to the action.

Opened on January 27, 1990, Gampel Pavilion seats 10,167 for basketball and showcases a striking white, domed geodesic roof that defines the Storrs skyline. Recent upgrades include LED lighting and modern scoreboard and sound systems that amplify every game and show. Inside, the design focuses on visibility and energy — the reason fans love the views from nearly every seat.

Home to the UConn Huskies men’s and women’s basketball programs and UConn women’s volleyball, Gampel Pavilion has been central to UConn’s rise as a national powerhouse. It’s hosted NCAA tournament games, championship celebrations, and banner-raising ceremonies that mark the program’s storied legacy. Beyond sports, the arena has welcomed icons like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Jay-Z, U2, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews Band, and John Mayer.

What sets Gampel apart is its combination of championship pedigree and fan-first design. Bowl-style seating keeps you dialed into every play, while the championship banners and trophy displays underscore UConn’s unmatched history.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Gampel Pavilion

2095 Hillside Road

Storrs, CT 06269

Gampel Pavilion sits at the center of UConn’s campus in Storrs, approximately 25 miles east of Hartford. It’s an easy campus destination with convenient access to dining and campus landmarks nearby.

• Parking: Multiple surface lots and garages on campus with typical event rates of $10–$20. Lot 8 or North Garage are recommended for proximity.
• Public Transit: UConn’s Shuttle Bus system serves campus; CT Transit buses connect Storrs with Hartford and Willimantic.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the Student Union and North Garage.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before tip-off or showtime. Early arrival helps you secure the best parking, breeze through entry, and take in pre-game activities or explore championship banners and trophy displays inside the concourse. If you’re meeting friends, choose a landmark like the Student Union or a designated concourse entry for a smooth meetup.

While Gampel Pavilion is an indoor arena, New England weather can impact travel and parking — especially during winter. Give yourself extra time during storms, and check campus alerts before you head out. Campus lots may require a short walk to the arena, but terrain is generally flat and easy to navigate.

If you’re taking the UConn Shuttle or CT Transit, confirm schedules ahead of time to align with your event’s start and end times. Cell service is generally reliable inside the building, though it can be spotty during sold-out events, so consider downloading your mobile tickets before you arrive.

Venue Navigation

Gampel Pavilion’s bowl seating makes it easy to find your section and get settled quickly. Concourse walkways circle the arena, connecting to concessions, restrooms, and merchandise kiosks with clear signage throughout. The interior is lined with banners and displays celebrating UConn’s basketball championships — a worthy stop for photos before you head to your seat.

You’ll find multiple concession stands featuring arena favorites, plus the UConn team store and pop-up merch locations inside the arena. ATMs are available near the main entrances, and charging stations are located along the concourse. If you plan to explore the displays and amenities, comfortable footwear makes navigating the arena even easier.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Clear bags only, up to 12"x6"x12"; small clutches are allowed.
• Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food or drink, large bags, noisemakers, laser pointers, and professional cameras.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry allowed once your ticket is scanned.
• Service Animals: Permitted for guests with disabilities.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Check winter weather forecasts and allow extra travel time during storms.
• If using campus shuttles, review the UConn Shuttle schedule and pickup points near the Student Union.

Pre-Event Planning

Elevate your visit by building in time to explore campus highlights. The championship banners and trophy displays inside the arena are a must-see for Huskies fans — arrive early to take photos and soak in UConn’s storied legacy. If you’re catching one of the many Gampel Pavilion events on a clear day, consider a quick stop at nearby Horsebarn Hill for panoramic views and sunset skies before or after the game.

Meeting a group? Pick a central landmark like the Student Union or a specific concourse entrance to streamline your meetup. If you’re driving, choose the same lot (Lot 8 or North Garage are convenient) and share your section number in advance to coordinate easier once inside. And if you’re planning to buy Gampel Pavilion tickets for a big group, check the seating chart early to keep your party together.

For a full campus-day experience, pair your event with a visit to the UConn Dairy Bar or grab a pre-game meal in Storrs Center — both are close and easy to reach. This area thrives on game days with fan energy, making it a great place to meet up before heading to your seats.

Assistive listening devices are available upon request at Guest Services, and UConn provides limited mobility shuttle service on game days.

Inside the venue, you’ll find multiple concession stands serving classic arena fare — think pizza, hot dogs, pretzels, and popcorn — along with beverages and snacks.
