Gampel Pavilion
Home of the Uconn Huskies
2098 Hillside Rd
Storrs, CT 06268
Opened: January 21, 1990
Harry A. Gampel Pavilion is a 10,167-seat multi-purpose arena in Storrs, Connecticut, on the campus of the University of Connecticut (UConn). The arena opened on January 21, 1990, 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 $1 million for the construction of the arena. It is about 216,000 sq ft. Gampel Pavilion is the primary home to the UConn 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.

Gampel Pavilion replaced the Hugh S. Greer Field House, which still stands to the northwest of the pavilion but has a much smaller capacity (4,604). 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, which was completed in October 2017. During that time, the volleyball team played some of its fall home games in Greer Field House.

UConn won 72-58 the first basketball game played in the arena on January 27, 1990, between the then 20th-ranked Huskies and the 15th ranked St. John's Redmen (now Red Storm).
