Millions in upgrades at Rentschler Field even as UConn football struggles? Officials say it’s time.

entschler Field could need millions of dollars in improvements as the aging stadium soon turns 20, a state investment that would come in the thick of the uncertain future of UConn football, the arena’s marquee tenant. A $330,000 study will soon get underway to determine the extent of the need, which would go far beyond recent capital improvements, such as $1.9 million for a new scoreboard in 2013. Priorities for major improvements will be part of a study commissioned by CRDA that is due out in the spring. The study comes as UConn’s lease and other management contracts for the stadium are set to expire in 2023. Operating losses at the stadium have dogged the stadium since last breaking even in 2016.
