5 Facility Information George J. Sherman Family-Sports Complex 2111 Hillside Road The University of Connecticut s field hockey, women s lacrosse, and men and women s track and field programs find their home at the George J. Sherman Family-Sports Complex, a $3.7 million athletic facility located adjacent to Harry A. Gampel Pavilion in the heart of UConn s main campus in Storrs. A financial gift of more than $650,000 to UConn s Athletic Development Fund by Lottie K. Sherman of West Hartford helped provide the necessary funding for the project, and the entire complex bears the name of Lottie s late husband, George J Sherman. George J. Sherman Family-Sports Complex features a state-of-the-art artificial turf field (nylon knit on elastic layer over a vertical drain base), giving UConn s athletic programs one of the finest on-campus collegiate facilities in the nation. The complex also includes an eight-lane, 400-meter all-weather track surface as well as seating for 2,000 fans, full-field lighting and a permanent press box. In the spring of 2013, a new Daktronics Scoreboard was installed on Sherman Complex. Equipped with multi-sport functionality, it currently serves the needs of UConn s Field Hockey, Lacrosse, and Track and Field teams. 5
