'''Hugh S. Greer Field House''', formerly the '''University of Connecticut Field House''', was a 4,604-seat multi-purpose [[arena]] in [[Storrs, Connecticut]].  It opened December 1, 1954 with a win against then-archrival [[University of Rhode Island|URI]].  It was home to the [[University of Connecticut]] Huskies men's and women's [[basketball]] teams until January 27, 1990, when the [[Harry A. Gampel Pavilion]] opened.  The arena is named after former Husky basketball player, coach and athletic director, [[Hugh Greer]].  It was remodeled in 1996-97 following the departure of the basketball teams to become a full-time indoor track facility.
