NEW THIS SEASON

Floor Entry

Floor-level entry will not be permitted for most patrons this season. Access to floor level will be restricted for all Devaney events — including for teams, properly credentialed personnel, students, and courtside ticket holders. Premium and properly credentialed patrons may access floor level through the North Arena Level, North Concourse, and South Arena Level.

Seating Designations
What was previously known as A/B/C level seating has been renamed to 100/200/300 level seating, with new wayfinding signage throughout the concourse and inside the arena seating areas. Fans should be prepared to follow the new directional signage to find their seating section once inside the concourse.

Seating Changes

• The new 100 level (lower bowl) has been converted from bleacher seating to chairback seating
