About Columbia Basketball

Columbia basketball represents Columbia University in NCAA Division I as a member of the Ivy League, with program roots that trace back to the late 1890s and early 1900s intercollegiate play. The Lions’ history includes Ivy League and predecessor Eastern Intercollegiate League titles, plus a retrospective national championship claim from the Helms Athletic Foundation for the 1904–05 season. Some of the most notable names associated with Columbia include Jim McMillian, Dave Newmark, Heyward Dotson, Buck Jenkins, and Chet Forte.

On game nights, the Lions play at Levien Gymnasium (within the Dodge Physical Fitness Center) in Upper Manhattan. Opened in 1974 and seating approximately 3,408, Levien is known for an intimate, close-to-the-action layout that helps create a tight home-court atmosphere—especially during Ivy League matchups when conference implications raise the intensity.

In Ivy League play, Columbia regularly sees high-interest matchups with Princeton and Pennsylvania, with Cornell also a frequent conference opponent.

Columbia Lions tickets typically range from around $10 to $25 for general admission and sideline seating to $25 or more for premium courtside or higher-demand conference-game inventory, with suites and hospitality packages running higher.

Several factors can move prices up or down, including the opponent (especially rivalry games vs. Princeton and Penn), Ivy League standings implications, the day of week, and postseason/Ivy Madness positioning. If you’re looking for value, less in-demand matchups and certain dates on the calendar can be a smart place to start.
