The Athletics Department has worked together with the Office of Sustainability to promote recycling at Gampel Pavillion and Rentschler Field venues since 2008. Each year, Office of Sustainability students lead recycling awareness and recovery at football, men's basketball, and women's basketball games.
Green Game Days have lead to over 30,000 cans collected since 2008.
Green Game Day at Gampel Pavilion (Spring 2020)
Volunteers joined the Sustainability Interns for the annual basketball Green Game Days on February 22nd & 23rd, 2020. The volunteers informed fans that the game was carbon neutral, because offsets were purchased to mitigate the emissions caused by the game. They also shared recycling tips, handed out green paw print tattoos, and hyped up the fans as they entered Gampel Pavilion!
