About Cassell Coliseum

Cassell Coliseum is an indoor arena at 466 Washington Street Southwest on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, Virginia. The venue opened in 1962 as Virginia Tech Coliseum and was later named for former athletic director Stuart K. Cassell. It is owned and operated by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and seats approximately 9,275 fans for basketball.

The arena is the home of Virginia Tech Hokies Men’s Basketball, Virginia Tech Hokies Women’s Basketball, Virginia Tech Hokies Wrestling, and Virginia Tech Hokies Volleyball, with all four programs competing in the ACC. Cassell Coliseum also hosts university events and ceremonies, making it the central indoor athletics arena for the campus. Its reputation is tied closely to Hokies competition, especially its standing as one of the more intimidating home-court environments in the ACC and one of the most electric atmospheres in college wrestling.

The venue’s compact, steep-sided coliseum bowl keeps fans close to the floor, and recent modernization has included a playing-floor renovation as part of ongoing building improvements.

Location & Transportation

Cassell Coliseum is located at 466 Washington Street Southwest, Blacksburg, VA 24061 — on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg.

Driving and Parking: Primary access to Cassell Coliseum is by car, with campus parking lots serving the arena. Event parking policies are set by Virginia Tech, and lots near the venue fill ahead of major games, so arriving early is advisable for popular basketball matchups and other high-demand events.

Transit: Blacksburg Transit serves the Virginia Tech campus and surrounding area, with routes connecting campus, downtown Blacksburg, and student housing. Transit can be practical for local attendees traveling from nearby neighborhoods, student housing areas, or downtown. Blacksburg is not served by passenger rail or subway.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate in Blacksburg and can drop off near campus. After well-attended games, expect congestion around campus roads as fans leave the arena area.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available in Blacksburg and nearby Christiansburg, with additional lodging near downtown Blacksburg and along the US-460 corridor for convenient access to the Virginia Tech campus.

Venue Navigation

Cassell Coliseum has a bowl-style arena layout surrounding the basketball court, with lower seating close to the floor and upper seating rising steeply above it. Understanding the seating bowl, entrances, and stairs before arriving helps make game night smoother, especially for well-attended Hokies events.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the coliseum’s main entrances serving the seating bowl, with ticketed entry at designated gates.

Concourse Levels: Seating is organized around the court, with lower and upper seating areas inside the arena bowl. The steep upper rows create strong crowd energy but also mean some sections require stairs to reach.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available consistent with university athletic facilities, and accessible parking is designated near the venue.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff help direct guests to their sections. If your seats are in upper rows, plan for stairs and give yourself a little extra time to get settled before the event begins.

How Much Do Tickets to Cassell Coliseum Cost?

Cassell Coliseum ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from volleyball and wrestling to marquee ACC men’s basketball matchups.

Virginia Tech Hokies Men’s Basketball tickets can start around $16 and up, with marquee ACC matchups priced higher. Opponent, matchup quality, rivalry interest, rankings, and seat location all play a major role in how prices move for high-demand games.

Virginia Tech Hokies Wrestling, Women’s Basketball, and Volleyball tickets are typically lower, often starting in the low-to-mid teens. Prices can still vary based on demand, sport, opponent, and proximity to the floor.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for high-demand games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for popular basketball matchups and premium lower-bowl seating.

Cassell Coliseum Seating Guide

Cassell Coliseum’s seating layout is worth understanding before buying because the arena uses a compact, steep bowl that places fans around the court. Lower-level seats bring you close to the floor, while upper seating areas rise sharply above the action and can offer strong value.

Best Seats at Cassell Coliseum

• Best value: Upper-level and end seating areas — These are typically the most affordable places to sit while still keeping you inside the arena atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-bowl sideline sections nearest the floor — These seats put you closest to the court for basketball and other floor events.
• Best overall experience: Lower-bowl sideline seats — These sections offer a strong balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere, making them a preferred choice for fans who want the full Cassell Coliseum experience.
• Premium and suite options: Premium and group seating are offered through Virginia Tech Athletics — These options can provide an upgraded experience for eligible events and group outings.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early is useful for high-demand games, especially when you want a block of seats together for a Hokies basketball matchup.

Getting Ready for Your Cassell Coliseum Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for popular games on the Virginia Tech campus when parking lots fill and campus roads get busy before tip-off.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for popular basketball games, as campus parking fills and roads congest before tip-off.
• Wear the right footwear. The steep seating bowl involves stairs to reach upper rows, so supportive shoes make moving through the arena more comfortable.
• Dress in layers. Cassell Coliseum is an indoor, climate-controlled venue, so dress for comfort inside the arena.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Give yourself additional time before well-attended events because parking demand and campus traffic can slow arrival.
• Know your entrance. Your assigned gate and section appear on your ticket, and a quick look before arriving can help streamline entry for busy events.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
