UConn Takes Precautions Against Post-Game Mayhem Ahead of Final Four

The University of Connecticut has removed light poles from its campus to prevent damage during celebrations for the Final Four.

  • UConn has both its men's and women's basketball teams in the Final Four, prompting the university to take preventive measures against potential celebration damages.
  • Last year's championship win led to students causing damage by ripping light poles out of the ground and using them destructively.
  • The university has replaced removed light poles with wall lights to ensure safety without compromising illumination.
  • Alcohol will not be served at the on-campus arena where watch parties for the Final Four are planned, limiting attendance to UConn students.
  • This marks the fifth time UConn has placed both its men's and women's teams in the Final Four simultaneously, with both teams aiming for national titles.
