**IMPORTANT FINAL PERFORMANCE INFORMATION!!**

 

Doors to Neville Arena (250 Beard-Eaves Court) will be unlocked for guests at 9:45am on Saturday morning.  Please plan to use the scholarship entrance -  That is the one that faces Donahue, near the parking lot.  It looks like the main entrance…It is right next to the ticket box office at the arena. Parking is available in the lot immediately east of the arena, in the lot between the arena and Donahue Drive.

 

You will find a campus map here:  MAP

Type Neville Arena in the search field for the location and a photo of the building.

 

Guests will sit in the orange seats above the court…This will provide the best vantage point! There are stairs, but there is also an elevator in the lobby for anyone that needs it. We will have staff there to guide you!
