About Jack Stephens Center

Jack Stephens Center opened in 2005 and is owned and operated by the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Located at 2801 S. University in Little Rock, Arkansas, the arena serves as the centerpiece of the university’s athletics program and seats approximately 5,600 fans for basketball. Its size and single-bowl layout create a college-arena feel where the seating wraps closely around the court.

The venue is the home of Little Rock Trojans Men’s Basketball, Little Rock Trojans Women’s Basketball, and Little Rock Trojans Volleyball, all competing at the NCAA Division I level. It also hosts university events such as commencements, along with occasional concerts, community gatherings, and special events. Named for Little Rock businessman and philanthropist Jack Stephens, the arena was created to give Trojans basketball a top-quality home.

Jack Stephens Center has hosted the Trojans through multiple NCAA tournament-qualifying seasons, including the men’s basketball program’s nationally noticed run to the 2016 NCAA Tournament.

Location & Transportation

Jack Stephens Center is located at 2801 S. University, Little Rock, AR 72204 — on the University of Arkansas at Little Rock campus along South University Avenue.

Driving and Parking: Driving is the primary way most attendees reach Jack Stephens Center because of its campus setting. On-campus parking lots serve the arena, with event parking available near the facility. For popular games, building in extra time helps with campus parking and entry.

Transit: Rock Region METRO bus service operates along the University Avenue corridor. Transit is an option for reaching the campus area, though it is secondary to driving for most attendees.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical at the campus and arena entrances. After high-attendance games or events, demand can peak as fans leave at the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are available along the Interstate 630 corridor and in downtown Little Rock, a short drive north. Additional lodging clusters near University Avenue and the Markham/midtown areas.

Venue Navigation

Jack Stephens Center uses a compact indoor arena layout built around a single seating bowl. Understanding the campus access points and bowl-style seating can make arrival, entry, and finding your seats easier on game night.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances serve the arena concourse from the campus parking areas. Guests enter from the surrounding campus lots and proceed into the arena concourse for ticket scanning and event access.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a single-bowl configuration surrounding the court, which keeps fans close to the action throughout the arena. The setup is typical of a mid-sized collegiate arena and helps create a strong student-section atmosphere.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and parking are provided consistent with ADA requirements.

Dining Options

Inside Jack Stephens Center

Security & Policies

Jack Stephens 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: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, and professional recording equipment. Items deemed a safety risk may also be restricted at entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Jack Stephens Center Cost?

Jack Stephens 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 regular-season college basketball to marquee matchups and rivalry games.

For college basketball regular-season games, tickets can start low, with modest single-ticket pricing for many general seating options. Seat location relative to center court is one of the biggest price drivers, with lower rows and stronger sightlines usually drawing more demand.

For marquee matchups and rivalry games, demand can push prices higher. Conference games, notable opponents, and high-interest dates tend to move faster, especially in the sideline sections closest to mid-court.

Buying earlier generally secures better seat selection for high-demand games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially when a matchup gains momentum.

Jack Stephens Center Seating Guide

Jack Stephens Center seating is built around a single-bowl configuration of approximately 5,600 seats wrapping the basketball court. That compact layout makes seat location especially important, because sideline views, courtside proximity, and student-section energy all shape the experience.

Best Seats at Jack Stephens Center

  • Best value: Upper rows and sections farther from center court are typically the most affordable choices, while still keeping fans inside a compact collegiate arena atmosphere.
  • Closest to the action: Lower courtside and baseline rows place fans nearest the court, making them strong picks for fans who want to feel close to the pace of basketball or volleyball.
  • Best overall experience: Sideline sections at mid-court offer the best overall views of the action, balancing proximity, sightline, and full-court perspective.
  • For groups: Coordinating seats early is a smart move for high-demand games, especially when trying to keep everyone together in contiguous seats.

The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the court, and whether you're in the single-bowl seating, in the upper rows, or down near the lower courtside and baseline rows — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your Jack Stephens Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking, entry, and seating access can be busiest around popular games.

  • 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 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 games to allow time for campus parking and entry.
  • Wear the right footwear. Jack Stephens Center is a standard indoor arena with concourse and stair access to seating rows, so supportive shoes are helpful for moving around comfortably.
  • Dress in layers. The venue is indoors and climate-controlled, but weather can still affect travel between parking areas and the arena.
  • Build extra time into your transit plan. Campus parking and entry can take longer for popular games, so leaving earlier helps reduce stress before tipoff or event time.
  • Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
