About James T. Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum

James T. Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum is an indoor collegiate arena located at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Opened in 1949, the venue originally seated around 12,400 and was long known simply as Reynolds Coliseum. A major renovation completed in 2016 reduced capacity to approximately 5,500, modernized the facility, preserved its historic exterior, and added premium club areas, trophy displays, and the NC State Athletics Hall of Fame. The playing surface was named James T. Valvano Arena in honor of late NC State men's basketball coach Jim Valvano.

The arena is home to NC State Wolfpack women's basketball, gymnastics, wrestling, and volleyball, and it also hosts university ceremonies, convocations, special events, and occasional concerts or community gatherings. It was the longtime home of NC State men's basketball during the Everett Case, Norm Sloan, and Jim Valvano eras, including the program's rise to national prominence, ACC Tournament games in earlier decades, and countless marquee college basketball contests.

Today, James T. Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum is known for its steep, intimate seating bowl, its connection to NC State's ACC history, and its Walk of History / Reynolds Champions Club celebrating Wolfpack athletics heritage.

Getting Ready for Your James T. Valvano Arena at Reynolds Coliseum Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking, walking routes, and pre-event foot traffic can shape your arrival.

• 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 on busy event days to account for campus parking fill and foot traffic.
• Wear the right footwear. The seating bowl involves stairs between rows, and guests should expect some walking from campus parking, so supportive shoes are helpful.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoors and climate-controlled, with outdoor exposure mainly limited to the walk from parking.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Campus parking and pedestrian flow can slow arrival on busy event days, so give yourself a wider arrival window.
• Know your section. Knowing your section before you arrive helps, even with the arena's compact single-bowl layout.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
