Dear UConn Faculty/Staff Member,

Since arriving at UConn just over eight months ago, I have been so pleased with the overwhelming support from our campus community. Everyone who touches our football program has shown a genuine interest in stepping in to help as we have assembled our roster and staff. We are trying to be the best version of ourselves every day, and through focus and commitment, I know that our student-athletes can achieve success both on and off the field.

We want UConn Nation to take great pride in this program and be part of what we are building. Please make plans to join us this season at Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.

We’re happy to offer all UConn Faculty and Staff — including those at UConn Health and our regional campuses—up to four complimentary tickets for your choice of our first two home games:

UConn Football vs. Lafayette (Home Opener)
Saturday, Sept. 5, noon

UConn Football vs. Maryland (Band Day/Community Day)
Saturday, Sept. 12, 3:30 p.m.

To claim your complimentary tickets, visit UConnTickets.com, click the button next to the game of your choice, and select your seats. Your mobile tickets will be delivered via email immediately after completing the process.

Already have tickets? Feel free to claim these complimentary seats so friends and family can enjoy the tailgating, football and fun.

For questions, please contact the Athletics Ticket Office at athtickets@uconn.edu or call 877-288-2666 (Monday throughFriday, 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

Please note: Tickets are subject to availability. The deadline to claim is 3 p.m. on the Thursday before each game – Sept. 3 and 10, respectively.

Thank you for your continued support of UConn Football and our student-athletes. We look forward to seeing you at The Rent in September and throughout the upcoming season.

Go Huskies!

Sincerely,


Jason Candle
Head Football Coach
