Harry A. Gampel Pavilion is a 10,167-seat multi-purpose arena in Storrs, Connecticut, United States, on the campus of the University of Connecticut. The arena opened on January 21, 1990,[1] and is the largest on-campus arena in New England. It was named after industrialist and 1943 UConn graduate Harry A. Gampel, a philanthropist who walked with Martin Luther King Jr., and who donated one million dollars for the construction of the arena. It is about {{convert|216000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}}. Gampel Pavilion is the primary home to the Connecticut Huskies men's basketball, women's basketball, and women's volleyball teams.

For most of the time since the late 1990s, the men's basketball team has played most of their more important games at the XL Center in Hartford. During the 2011–12 season, the men's basketball team played 11 home games in Hartford and only eight at Gampel.

The pavilion is the centerpiece of the UConn Sports Center, which also includes Wolff-Zackin Natatorium.

Construction

It replaced the Hugh S. Greer Field House, which only held 4,604 people and still stands to the northwest of the pavilion. The facility has been expanded three times. As originally constructed, it seated 8,241. After the 1995–96 season, 1,900 seats were added around the entrances, increasing capacity to 10,027. A seating adjustment after the 2001–02 season added 140 more seats to result in the current capacity.

In the summer of 2017 a project began to replace the aging roof and is scheduled to be completed in October 2017. The Women's volleyball team is scheduled to play some of its fall home games in Hugh S. Greer Field House until the renovations are complete.[2]

First game

The first basketball game was played on January 27, 1990, between the then 20th ranked Connecticut Huskies and the 15th ranked St. John's Red Storm. Connecticut won 72–58.[3]

Home court advantage

Since 1990 through 2019 the Huskies men's basketball team has a 187–36 record at Gampel Pavilion.[4]
