UConn soccer is temporarily playing at Dillon Stadium to enable the construction of the state-of-the art Joseph J. Morrone Stadium at the Rizza Family Soccer Complex in Storrs. The complex, which will be built on the same site as UConn soccer\u2019s on-campus home since 1969, is scheduled for completion in time for the start of the 2020 season.<\/p>\n

The first game at Dillon Stadium is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 8, when the women\u2019s soccer team welcomes Boston University to Hartford at 1 p.m.\u00a0 The men\u2019s soccer team opens up in the capital city on Tuesday, Sept. 17, against Manhattan College at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s home games that precede the contest against BU — Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. against Fairfield University; Sept. 1 at 6 p.m. against Colgate University — will be played at the University of Hartford.\u00a0 The men\u2019s home games that are scheduled prior to the contest against Manhattan College — Aug. 24 at 7 p.m. against BU; Aug. 30 at 7 p.m. against Rider University; Sept. 6 at 7 p.m. against Fairleigh Dickinson University — will also be played at the University of Hartford.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s soccer ticket prices are $5 and men\u2019s soccer ticket prices, $6, for general admission. Tickets for both are $1 each for groups of 10 or more.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, beginning this fall, students no longer need to purchase a ticket to attend any UConn regular season home games, including men\u2019s and women\u2019s soccer. Students will need to simply swipe their Student ID at the main entrances of both University of Hartford and Dillon Stadium for admission on a first-come, first-served basis.<\/p>\n

All undergraduate, graduate and transfer students<\/a> at any of UConn’s regional campuses, as well as the School of Law, School of Medicine, and School of Dental Medicine, enrolled for the fall 2019 semester can swipe their UConn Student ID for admission.<\/p>\n
