75 Years of Achievement 31
Sometimes in business, as in life, you have to devise a
good strategy, battle fiercely alongside your teammates,
and, on occasion, wipe the mud out of your eyes!
Even before the School of Business opened its doors
at its newest location, across from Gampel Pavilion, in
the heart of the Storrs campus, it seemed the foundation
had been set for a competitive learning environment.
The School was built on land formerly known as Dow
Field. The field was home to softball games and, in the
springtime, hosted the University's popular Oozeball
competition—an annual volleyball tournament played in
8 inches of mud!
The loss of Dow Field did nothing to dampen the
enthusiasm for Oozeball on campus. The Student Alumni
Association started the competition in 1984 and it has
been an annual tradition, which is one of the most popular
on campus. The tournament hosts up to 400 teams, and
draws more than 3,000 spectators at its new location at
North Campus Field. It even merited a mention in Sports
Illustrated.
