STORRS, Conn. – In an effort to better accommodate academic obligations of student-athletes, the UConn Football Blue/White Showcase will be shifted to Friday, April 22 at 7 p.m. at Joseph J. Morrone Stadium at Rizza Performance Center. The rescheduled date will allow every student-athlete on the football roster to participate in the Showcase.
The events surrounding the showcase will remain largely unchanged. Gates to Morrone Stadium will open at 5:30 p.m. and concessions will be available at that time, along with giveaways, and attractions. Additionally, the first 1,500 students in attendance will receive a free UConn Football t-shirt.
The No. 15 UConn baseball team will compete on-campus against Villanova at 6 p.m., and due to the close proximity of Elliot Ballpark to Morrone Stadium, the baseball game will also be free of charge.
The festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. with a live performance by the band Capital View on the north side of Morrone Stadium, near the Mark R. Shenkman Training Center. The on-field practice is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
The football showcase event is free of charge, but claiming a ticket is a requirement to attend. General public and student-specific claim links can be found above. Previously claimed tickets will be valid for the new date.
Randy Brochu and, Adam Giardino, will serve as sideline reporters for the evening and will conduct interviews with players and coaches for fans in attendance.
