About Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex

Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex, officially the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex, opened in 2000 and is owned and operated by Hofstra University. Located at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the arena seats approximately 5,000 for basketball and functions as a multi-purpose indoor facility for athletics, exhibitions, and campus events.

The Mack is the home court for Hofstra Pride Men’s Basketball, Hofstra Pride Women’s Basketball, and Hofstra Pride Women’s Volleyball, all NCAA Division I programs in the Coastal Athletic Association. Its event mix includes college basketball, college volleyball, other indoor collegiate athletics, exhibitions, campus events, and commencement or convocation-style gatherings, along with neutral-site and visiting-team events such as Iona Gaels basketball events.

As Hofstra’s primary indoor athletics arena, Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex is known for combining a competition court with exhibition and event space, supported by LED video displays and a modern sound system.

Location & Transportation

Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex is located at 245 Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549 — on the Hofstra University campus in Hempstead on Long Island.

Driving and Parking: Car access is the most common way to reach the arena in its suburban Long Island setting. On-campus parking lots serve Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex, and the campus sits along Hempstead Turnpike, NY Route 24, with access from the Meadowbrook State Parkway and other Long Island arteries.

Transit: The Hempstead branch of the Long Island Rail Road serves the area, and Nassau Inter-County Express bus routes serve the Hofstra University campus and the surrounding Hempstead Turnpike corridor. Transit can be useful for visitors coming from other parts of Long Island, with local bus connections serving the campus area.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at campus access points. Because the venue is on a suburban university campus, rideshare service is generally reliable, though post-event pickup can take longer when crowds leave at the same time.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available along the Hempstead Turnpike corridor and in nearby Uniondale, Garden City, and Westbury. Additional hotels are located near the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum area, giving visitors several Long Island options within a short drive of campus.

Venue Navigation

Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex uses a single-bowl arena setup surrounding the competition court. Understanding the bowl layout before you buy helps you compare sideline, baseline, corner, and courtside views for basketball, volleyball, and other indoor events.

Dining Options

Outside the Venue — Hempstead Turnpike, Garden City, and Uniondale

Dining options are available along Hempstead Turnpike and in nearby Garden City and Uniondale. Visitors will find chain and casual restaurants within a short drive of the Hofstra University campus, making it practical to plan a meal before a game or campus event.

How Much Do Tickets to Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex Cost?

Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the opponent, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from low-cost college volleyball and collegiate events to marquee Hofstra Pride basketball matchups.

For Hofstra Pride college basketball, tickets are commonly around $10–$40, with premium seats or marquee matchups running higher. Opponent, conference status, seat location, and overall demand can all affect the final price.

For college volleyball and other collegiate events, admission is often low-cost or free, and ticketed events are typically under $15. Prices can still vary by event type and seat availability.

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

Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex Seating Guide

Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex has single-bowl arena seating surrounding the competition court, so your best seat choice depends on whether you want the lowest price, the clearest full-court view, or the closest possible experience near the floor.

Best Seats at Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex

  • Best value: Upper and corner or baseline sections are typically the most affordable options, offering a practical way to get into the arena for Hofstra Pride basketball, volleyball, and other collegiate events.
  • Closest to the action: Courtside and lower sideline rows nearest the floor put you closest to the court and the energy of live college athletics.
  • Best overall experience: Center-court sideline sections generally provide the strongest overall sightlines, balancing proximity with a clear view of plays developing across the full court.
  • For groups: For higher-demand games, coordinating seats early gives groups a better chance of finding seats together in the same area of the single-bowl layout.

Getting Ready for Your Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where on-campus parking and event arrival patterns can affect your 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. Arriving early is advisable to navigate on-campus parking, particularly for higher-demand games.
  • Build extra time into your transit plan. If you are driving to campus or using local transit connections, give yourself added time around higher-demand games so you can park, walk in, and reach your seat without rushing.
  • Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
