About EJ Nutter Center

EJ Nutter Center, officially the Ervin J. Nutter Center, is an indoor multi-purpose arena in Dayton, Ohio, owned and operated by Wright State University. The venue opened in 1990 at 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway on the Wright State campus, with a basketball capacity of approximately 10,000–11,000 and configurations that adjust for concerts, family entertainment, motorsports, and other arena events.

The arena is home to the Wright State Raiders men's and women's basketball programs, both NCAA Division I teams in the Horizon League. Beyond college basketball, EJ Nutter Center hosts touring concerts across genres, family shows, comedy, graduations, university programming, community gatherings, and arena events such as Monster Jam.

Named for local businessman and benefactor Ervin J. Nutter, the venue is a central fixture of Wright State athletics and one of the primary large-event arenas serving the Dayton–Fairborn area.

Location & Transportation

EJ Nutter Center is located at 3640 Colonel Glenn Highway, Dayton, OH 45435 — on Wright State University's campus near the Fairborn and Beavercreek corridor, with convenient access from Interstate 675.

Driving and Parking: EJ Nutter Center is primarily a drive-to venue, with large on-campus surface parking lots adjacent to the arena. Access from Interstate 675 and Colonel Glenn Highway makes arrival straightforward for most attendees, but high-demand events can create lot congestion, so arriving early helps with parking and post-event egress.

Transit: Greater Dayton RTA bus service reaches the Wright State campus area. Transit is available, though driving is the primary option for many attendees because of the suburban campus setting.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical around the campus road layout and nearby parking areas. After sellout events, expect some post-event wait as traffic clears the arena area.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are clustered along Colonel Glenn Highway and near the Wright State, Fairborn, Beavercreek, and Interstate 675 corridor. Additional lodging options are available near Dayton International Airport and in downtown Dayton.

Venue Navigation

EJ Nutter Center has a straightforward arena layout, with public entrances leading into a concourse that surrounds the main seating bowl. Understanding the lower and upper seating areas in advance helps you move efficiently from entry to your section.

Entrances and Access: Main public entrances feed into the concourse surrounding the arena bowl. Guests enter through standard arena access points for ticket scanning, security screening, and movement into the seating areas.

Concourse Levels: The arena features a primary seating bowl with lower-level and upper-level sections ringed by a concourse. Floor seating is added for concerts and arena events, while basketball events use the floor as the court with courtside and lower-bowl seating closest to the action.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available consistent with an ADA-compliant arena. Accessible parking is available in the on-site lots.

Getting to Your Section: Concourse signage and event staff direct guests to sections, and the single-bowl layout helps keep navigation simple. Expect stairs between seating rows and some walking from the parking lots to the arena entrances.

Dining Options

Inside EJ Nutter Center

EJ Nutter Center offers standard arena concessions on the concourse, including typical stadium fare and beverages. Lines can build close to event start times and during peak breaks, so allowing time before tipoff, showtime, or intermission makes the food and drink stop easier.

Outside the Venue — Colonel Glenn Highway and Beavercreek

Dining near EJ Nutter Center is concentrated along Colonel Glenn Highway, the Fairfield Commons and Beavercreek retail corridor near Interstate 675, and the broader Fairborn area. Downtown Dayton offers a wider restaurant and bar scene for fans planning a fuller night out before or after an event.

Security & Policies

EJ Nutter 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.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, and professional recording equipment are commonly restricted. Other items may be restricted when they are considered a safety risk for the event.

How Much Do Tickets to EJ Nutter Center Cost?

EJ Nutter Center ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from Wright State Raiders basketball to touring concerts, family shows, and Monster Jam.

For concerts at EJ Nutter Center, tickets are generally around $35–$125 or more depending on the artist, seat location, and demand. Floor seats and lower-level sections closest to the stage usually command higher prices than upper-level options.

For family shows and Monster Jam, tickets often fall in the approximately $20–$75 range. Prices can vary by performance time, seat location, and overall demand for the event.

For high-demand concerts and marquee games, buying earlier generally secures better seat selection and pricing. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections often become more expensive.

Best Seats at EJ Nutter Center

• Best value: Upper-level sections and seats behind the baskets or in corners are typically the most affordable options, offering a full-arena view at a lower price point.
• Closest to the action: Courtside and lower-bowl sections nearest the floor put basketball fans closest to the court, while floor seating offers maximum proximity for concerts and arena events.

• Premium and group options: Group seating and premium areas are available for university and arena events, giving larger parties and fans seeking upgraded options additional ways to experience the venue.

Getting Ready for Your EJ Nutter Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking lots, concourse movement, and event crowds all affect arrival timing.

• 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 sellout events, give yourself extra time for parking, the walk from the lots, security screening, and traffic flow around Interstate 675 and Colonel Glenn Highway.
• Wear the right footwear. EJ Nutter Center has a standard arena interior with stairs between seating rows and concourse levels, and guests should expect walking from the parking lots to the entrances.
• Dress for the walk from parking. The venue is indoors and climate-controlled, but weather can affect the walk from the parking areas to the arena.
• Know your seating level. A quick look at your ticket before arrival helps you move efficiently once inside, even with the arena's straightforward single-bowl layout.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
