UConn is adding a surcharge it calls a “Facilities Investment Together” fee on all athletic tickets beginning in the 2017-18 academic year to support athletics building projects around campus.
The surcharges are $5 for football, $2 for men’s and women’s basketball and men’s hockey and $1 for men’s and women’s soccer. The fee will be added to all season tickets, mini-plans and single-game purchases as well, but there will be no assessment on UConn student tickets.
The school is planning a $46 million project to build new soccer, baseball and softball venues on campus. Construction is expected to begin in the spring of 2018.
The school says it has raised $15 million for the projects so far, and hopes to receive donations totaling $25 million.
