I apologize for the delay in sending out alumni game information. Scheduling has been more difficult then usual this year due to the fact that Depot Field underwent a million dollar renovation over the summer. Myself and the team had originally hoped for an October 3rd date to coincide with Homecoming Weekend, and we were initially told by University administration that the field would likely be completed by that date.
Unfortunately, after making a phone call today I was told that while the field would possibly be available on 10/3, they could not give me a 100% guarantee. I did not want to move forward with the game without an 100% guarantee of field time, so after talking to team officials we have decided that the alumni game will be held on the weekend of October 23rd with an exact day/time/facility TBD. We will work to finalize all alumni game info and get it out to everyone as soon as possible.
Also, team captain Mason Banwell wanted me to let you all know that if anyone needs a place to stay on homecoming weekend to feel free to contact him and he can make arrangements with team members. His contact info is mason.banwell@uconn.edu,
