Also known as The DAC, it is integrated into Drexel's urban University City campus.

Location & Transportation

John A. Daskalakis Athletic Center is located at 3141 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA 19104 — on Drexel University's campus in the University City district of Philadelphia.

Transit: University City is one of Philadelphia's most transit-rich districts, making transit a practical way to reach the arena. SEPTA Regional Rail, trolley, and bus service run along and near Market Street, while 30th Street Station, a major Amtrak and SEPTA Regional Rail hub, is a short walk away. SEPTA Market–Frankford Line and trolley stations also serve the immediate area.

Driving and Parking: University City is dense, and parking around the arena is limited. Metered street parking and several university and public parking garages serve the area, so plan for an urban-campus parking experience and consider garage parking instead of expecting on-site lots.

Rideshare: Rideshare service is widely available throughout University City. Drop-off and pickup are straightforward because of the central campus location, though congestion along Chestnut and Market Streets can build around event times.

Nearby Accommodation: Numerous hotels are located in University City and near 30th Street Station. Additional hotel options are available across the Schuylkill River in Center City Philadelphia, all within easy reach of Drexel's campus.

John A. Daskalakis Athletic Center is a compact indoor collegiate arena centered on the court, so understanding the campus setting and planning your arrival can make game day smoother. Because it is part of Drexel's broader athletics, recreation, and student-services footprint, arriving with time to navigate the area is helpful on busy event nights.

Getting Ready for Your John A. Daskalakis Athletic Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a venue in a dense University City campus setting.

• 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. Given the dense University City setting and limited parking, arriving early and using transit or rideshare is advisable. Expect congestion on Chestnut and Market Streets around event times.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Transit is highly practical in University City, but busy event timing can still slow movement near campus, 30th Street Station, Chestnut Street, and Market Street.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
