About Earle A. Chiles Center

Opened in 1984 and operated by the University of Portland, it seats approximately 4,800–5,000 fans for basketball, with the capacity varying by configuration. The arena is located on the university’s bluff campus in North Portland, giving it a distinctly campus-based setting.

The Chiles Center is best known as the home of Portland Pilots Men’s Basketball, Portland Pilots Women’s Basketball, and Portland Pilots Volleyball, all NCAA Division I programs in the West Coast Conference. It also hosts university events, including commencement-related ceremonies and campus gatherings, along with occasional community and special events.

Location & Transportation

Earle A. Chiles Center is located at 5000 N. Willamette Blvd, Portland, OR 97203 — on the University of Portland campus in the University Park area of North Portland.

Driving and Parking: On-campus and adjacent lot parking is available for events. For well-attended games, arrive early because campus lots can fill as tipoff or first serve approaches. The venue is reached via N. Willamette Blvd in North Portland.

Transit: TriMet bus routes serve N. Willamette Blvd and nearby arterials around the University of Portland campus. Portland’s MAX light rail does not directly serve the campus, so bus or car access is usually the most practical approach.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup at the campus is straightforward. For larger games, allow for some post-event wait time as vehicles queue near campus entrances.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging options are concentrated in greater North and Northeast Portland and along the I-5 corridor. Downtown Portland hotels are a short drive away for visitors who want a wider selection.

Venue Navigation

Earle A. Chiles Center is a mid-sized collegiate arena with seating arranged around a central basketball court. Knowing the campus entry point before you arrive helps streamline your trip from parking, transit, or rideshare to the arena.

Entrances and Access: Guests enter through the Chiles Center Plaza, where inspection and screening take place before entering the venue.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a bowl surrounding the central basketball court, keeping fans oriented toward the floor for Pilots basketball and volleyball.

Dining Options

Outside the Venue — North Portland and University Park

Dining is available in the surrounding North Portland and University Park area, with additional options along N. Lombard St and throughout nearby North and Northeast Portland districts. For the smoothest event-night experience, plan your meal before heading to campus or allow extra time if you are eating nearby before a well-attended game.

Security & Policies

Earle A. Chiles Center maintains security and venue policies that are updated regularly and may vary by event. Before attending, reviewing the current policy on the venue's official website is strongly recommended.

How Much Do Tickets to Earle A. Chiles Center Cost?

Earle A. Chiles Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the team or event, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from low-cost volleyball and campus events to higher-demand Pilots basketball marquee matchups.

For Pilots regular-season basketball, tickets are typically affordable by collegiate standards, often starting low in the single to low-double digits for general seating. Prices can rise for premium seating locations, conference games, and marquee matchups with stronger demand.

For volleyball and other campus events, entry is generally low-cost. Seat location, event type, and demand still influence final pricing, especially when interest is higher for a specific opponent or university event.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection, particularly for higher-demand games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining seats can become harder to find at the strongest value.

Getting Ready for Your Earle A. Chiles Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for campus parking, plaza screening, and Portland’s cooler-month rain.

• 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. For well-attended games, give yourself extra time for campus parking and screening at the Chiles Center Plaza.
• Dress in layers. Earle A. Chiles Center is indoors, but the exterior approach is weather-exposed, so plan for typical Portland rain in the cooler months.
• Know your entrance. Entry is through the Chiles Center Plaza, so heading there on arrival streamlines access.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
