Details on First Night
Here are some details on the First Night festivities on Oct. 14.
First, the most important part - admission is free and open to the public and the event will begin at 7 p.m.
There will be FanFest located outside the North entrance of Gampel Pavilion and on Fairfield Way beginning at 5 p.m. for inflatable games, food, music and fun. Gampel Pavilion doors will open at 6 p.m. featuring an autograph session with both teams, followed by performances from the band, cheer and dance squads, introductions of the players and coaches, a dunk and three-point contest and ultimate prize giveaways.
The show will end at approximately at 8 p.m. with a performance by Simon Sez.
As for the recruits expected to be there, when I spoke to Morgan Tuck during the summer, she said she was planning to be there while Breanna Stewart will be taking a wait and see approach. I will try to get an update on Tuck, Stewart and fellow commit Moriah Jefferson.
I did reach out to the players UConn is recruiting in the Class of 2013 and the only concrete info I was able to get was that Karlie Samuelson was not planning to make the trip East for the event according to her AAU coach Russ Davis.

how do I get to the FanFest area? I've never been there only for the games and I'm looking forward to this party. Thank-You
The Fan Fest will take place on the streets surrounding Gampel Pavilion. You won't be able to miss it if you are at Gampel.
