With the both the men's and women's 2019-20 regular seasons kicking off this weekend at Gampel Pavilion, there will be some new experiences for fans attending the games – such as getting a close look at the Werth Champions Center lobby, theme nights and new additions at the concession stands, just to name a few.

>>Werth Champions Lobby - The Werth Champions Center lobby will be open to the public for one hour from 90 minutes prior to tip-off until 30 minutes prior for both men's and women's home games at Gampel Pavilion. On Friday, the lobby will be open from 5:30-6:30 p.m. <<

>>Gampel Pavilion Food & Beverage Offerings There are plenty of new additions to the concession stands at Gampel for this upcoming season. The chicken tender portable food truck is now located in the west court area and will be offering a variety of special food selections each game, including chicken tenders, onions, sweet potato fries, and much more. The west court pretzel cart is now located in the West Grill area. The South and West concession stands will be offering pizza cones this season as well. All four main concession stands will also begin selling individually wrapped chocolate chip cookies.

In addition to the variety, concession prices have been reduced at Gampel this season.<<

Cookies! Wow. Stop the presses.

I think this is all really good stuff to enhance the game day experience for the fans. As far as the Champions Center Lobby, I can’t wait to see that. As a Yankee fan, thats almost like a pre game walk through monument park at Yankee Stadium. Always a good thing when teams do things like that to honor their history. I think that brings all the generations of fans together. Still hard to believe that current Uconn Freshman were only 3-4 years old during our 2004 Championship season.

Two cool photo op ideas for fan engagement. Go viral. Show your school pride. Liven up your arenas. Can #UConn do this? How about 15 oversized Championship trophies too! Be creative! @UConnHuskyAD @UConnMBB @UConnTrademark

Another cool option UConn could be inspired by for their arenas.

Dunno, but it should be in the pizza thread soon enough.

Does it hold icecream?

We’re not savages.

Which reminds me, won't we be getting Raftery to do UConn games next year? Something else to look forward to.

It's one of those things that is exactly what it sounds like. The dough is the cone and the inside holds the sauce, cheese and toppings. I'd gather about 95%+ of these are undercooked gooey disasters. If done right it's not too far off from a stromboli. Think pizza gyros.

The Jerk comes to mind...



And is there a more pathetic food truck concept than "chicken tenders"?

Hard to imagine the brain storming that led to that monstrosity:

“Lets make pizza harder to cook and more difficult to eat.”

“Okay but only if we can make it scald your lips in addition to the roof of your mouth!”

 

[Purple Stein]

Not to mention the brainstorming that went into making it a featured concession...

Something that should never be publicly acknowledged by any member of this forum who has contrbuted to, or read, the pizza thread.

 

[Dogdeacon]

No Jalapeno Mac & cheese?!
