About Penn State Basketball

Penn State men’s basketball dates back to the 1896–97 season and competes in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big Ten Conference. The program has a long history that includes a 1954 NCAA Tournament Final Four run (finishing third nationally under coach Elmer Gross), a Sweet Sixteen appearance in 1996 led by Pete Lisicky and Glenn Sekunda, and multiple postseason achievements over the decades.

In postseason play, Penn State has claimed national titles in the National Invitation Tournament, winning the 2009 NIT Championship (defeating Baylor at Madison Square Garden) and the 2018 NIT Championship under coach Patrick Chambers (defeating Utah at Madison Square Garden). Notable figures in program history include Jesse Arnelle, John Amaechi, Talor Battle, Lamar Stevens, and coach Bruce Parkhill, who guided the program through the transition into the Big Ten.

On game nights, the Nittany Lions play at the Bryce Jordan Center on the University Park campus in State College, Pennsylvania. Opened in 1996 and named for former Penn State president Bryce Jordan, the multi-purpose arena seats approximately 15,261 for basketball and also hosts major concerts and university events. The atmosphere ramps up for big Big Ten matchups, when the student section gets particularly energetic and the building feels at its loudest.

Penn State’s schedule includes rivalry and high-interest games that can drive strong demand, especially against Pittsburgh, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Maryland. If there’s a specific matchup you’re targeting, browsing Penn State Nittany Lions Basketball tickets early is the smartest move.

How Much Do Penn State Nittany Lions Basketball Tickets Cost?

Penn State Nittany Lions Basketball tickets typically range from around $15–$30 for upper-level seats to $50–$100+ for lower-level sideline seats, with suites and hospitality packages running higher. Marquee Big Ten matchups often sit at the top end of the range, and premium seating like courtside can run higher as well.

Several factors can push prices up, including the opponent (especially ranked or rivalry games such as Michigan State, Ohio State, or Pittsburgh), the day of the week, timing within the conference schedule, team performance, and overall demand. If you’re trying to find the best value, consider less in-demand dates and keep an eye on upper-level inventory early.

No hidden fees. At Box Office Ticket Sales, the price you see is the price you pay. All fees are shown before checkout — no surprise charges when you reach the final step.

• Best overall view: Lower-level sideline seats at center court (midcourt), anchored around courtside sightlines — strong angles for seeing plays develop across the court
• For groups and premium experiences: Premium/club and suite inventory — added comfort and space for groups or special occasions
