About the Team or Event
The official mascot of the University of Connecticut is a Siberian Husky dog named Jonathan. The first Husky dog came to the Storrs campus in Dec. 1934 and the puppy was named for Jonathan Trumbull, Governor of Connecticut during the Revolutionary War. Jonathan’s pedigree was traced back to include a great-grandfather, who traveled to the North Pole with Admiral E. Byrd in 1909. Jonathan III was with Admiral Byrd when he undertook “Operation High Jump” to the Antarctic in 1946-47. In the summer of 2001, the UConn community welcomed the newest Husky dog, Jonathan XII, to the Storrs campus. The costumed mascot, an all-white Siberian Husky, gained popularity over the past several decades and through national television exposure has become "in demand" throughout the state and region, representing his University.
About the Stadium
Connecticut Men and Women's Basketball on-campus home arena is the sparkling and spacious Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, a state-of-the-art domed facility which serves all the needs of the UConn basketball teams.
The Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, opened in January of 1990, totals more than 171,000 square feet in the domed area of the entire UConn Sports Center Complex, while an additional 39,000 square feet comprise the attached Wolff-Zackin Natatorium (including a 50-meter Olympic size swimming pool).
The entire UConn Sports Center Complex was a $28 million project and measures 320 feet in diameter in the circular domed arena area. The brilliant aluminum dome of the Gampel Pavilion towers more than 130 feet in the air from ground level.
During the summer of 1996, the original capacity of Gampel Pavilion (8,241) was increased with additional seating placed above each of the four entrance quadrants of the building. The new 'sellout' for Connecticut Basketball in Storrs is 10,027, making the UConn facility the largest capacity on- campus basketball arena in New England and the Northeast.
The Harry A. Gampel Pavilion now provides the Connecticut Basketball programs with one of the finest on- campus team settings in the entire nation. In addition to dominating the Storrs campus scenery, Gampel Pavilion is always an 'advance sellout' when UConn Basketball plays before the home crowd.
Prior to the start of the 1999-2000 season, two new state-of-the-art scoreboards were installed in Gampel Pavilion. Both boards contain complete player lineup information (points, fouls) as well as a full color game video boards and message centers. The ' Alumni Court' main arena floor is constructed with the latest version of 'spring aire' wood. The Connecticut basketball program is totally housed in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion.
