he University of Connecticut football equipment room, under the leadership of Football Equipment Manager Chris Stasaitis, is designed to handle the everyday equipment needs of each UConn football student-athlete, along with the team’s coaches and support personnel, and is responsible for the transport of 6,000 pounds of equipment to games.

On game days, Stasaitis his assistant Ben Ginn and his staff enjoy generous space in Rentschler Field’s modern equipment room, which was specially designed with high counters to allow for extra storage, convenient access to trunks and easier transitions in and out of the facility.
