About Winston-Salem State Basketball

Winston-Salem State basketball is one of the most storied programs in HBCU and small-college basketball history, competing in NCAA Division II as a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). The Rams won the 1967 NCAA College Division (now Division II) national championship under legendary coach Clarence “Big House” Gaines, becoming the first HBCU to win an NCAA basketball national title. The 1966–67 team featured Earl “The Pearl” Monroe, who led the nation in scoring, and the program’s tradition includes standout figures like Cleo Hill and Hall of Fame head coach Gaines, who led the Rams for 47 seasons and retired with more than 800 career wins.

Rams home games are played at the C.E. Gaines Center (Clarence E. “Big House” Gaines Center) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Opened in 1977 with an approximate capacity of 3,000, it’s known as an intimate on-campus arena where the crowd stays close to the action and game nights bring spirited HBCU atmosphere.

In the CIAA, matchups against familiar opponents help define the season — including rivalry meetings with North Carolina Central, Fayetteville State, Johnson C. Smith, and traditional power Virginia Union. If there’s a specific rivalry game you’re targeting, browsing Winston-Salem State Rams tickets early is the smartest move.

Winston-Salem State Rams Seating at C.E. Gaines Center

C.E. Gaines Center delivers a close-to-the-court college basketball experience in an intimate, on-campus setting. With a single-bowl layout and seating wrapping the court from the sidelines to the baselines, it’s a strong venue for both sightlines and atmosphere on Rams game night.

Best Seats for Winston-Salem State Rams Games

The right seat depends on what kind of game night experience you're after:

Best value: Upper baseline and corner sections — an elevated look at the full floor with strong crowd energy at a lower price point
Closest to the action: Baseline and sideline seating near the court — feel the pace up close as possessions swing end to end
Best overall view: Center-court sideline seats near courtside — balanced sightlines to follow plays developing across the court
For groups and premium experiences: Lower-bowl sideline and baseline seats together — a comfortable way to keep your group in the same area for big matchups

If you’re organizing a group outing for a rivalry game or a marquee date, it’s smart to plan early so you can keep seats together in the sections you want.

Getting Ready for Winston-Salem State Rams Game Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation goes a long way — especially with an on-campus arena where arrival timing and entry lines can pick up quickly as tip-off approaches.

Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service near C.E. Gaines Center gets congested on game nights. Save them to your phone's wallet or screenshot them as a backup.
Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is the standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having.
Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand nights.
Public Transit: Use public transit if you can — it’s often faster than driving on game night. Winston-Salem is served by Winston-Salem Transit Authority (WSTA) routes.
Rideshare: Plan your rideshare pickup point — post-game pickups near C.E. Gaines Center can take longer than expected.
Check the bag policy before you go. Know the venue’s bag rules ahead of arrival so entry is smooth.
Parking: On-campus lots near the arena are available on game nights.
