“The CIAC is excited to partner with Pratt & Whitney Stadium and CCSU for its 2022 Football State Championships,” said Glenn Lungarini, CAS-CIAC Executive Director. “CIAC has made an effort to extend the college and career goals of its member schools by providing student-athletes with an opportunity to experience playing at Connecticut’s best collegiate and professional stadiums. Partnering with Pratt & Whitney Stadium and CCSU is a natural extension of education-based interscholastic athletics. It will be a thrill for CIAC student-athletes to compete at Rentschler Field and Arute Field, where their collegiate role models from UCONN and CCSU play.”

Both CCSU and Rentschler Field have previously hosted CIAC Football championship games. We are pleased to be able to return and offer student-athletes and spectators an elevated experience. “The CIAC is grateful for the dedicated schools and municipalities that hosted past CIAC Football Championships,” said Lungarini. “The staff and communities of New Britain and Trumbull have gone above and beyond to provide great lifetime memories for CIAC student-athletes. These CIAC partners have set a high standard that we are confident the staff at this year’s venues will meet.”
