    Arute Field, Rentschler to host CIAC football finals

    Rentschler Field at Pratt and Whitney Stadium in East Hartford and Arute Field at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain will each host three state championship football games on Saturday, Dec. 10, the CIAC announced Wednesday.

    Games at both sites will be played at 10:30 a.m., 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The locations for each of the six division finals will be determined after the semifinal round scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 4.

    “The CIAC is excited to partner with Pratt & Whitney Stadium and CCSU for its 2022 football state championships,” CAS-CIAC Executive Director Glenn Lungarini said in a statement. “(The) 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.”

    Arute Field and Rentschler Field have both hosted state finals in the past.
