About McDermott Convocation Center

McDermott Convocation Center is an indoor multi-purpose arena located at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas. Opened in 2008 and operated by the university, the venue has a capacity of approximately 2,500, with seating that can vary by event configuration. Also known as McDermott Center, it serves as a central athletics and events facility on UIW’s Broadway corridor campus.

The arena hosts college basketball and volleyball, university convocations and commencement ceremonies, concerts, and campus or community events. It is home to Incarnate Word Cardinals men’s basketball, Incarnate Word Cardinals women’s basketball, and Incarnate Word Cardinals women’s volleyball, all competing at the NCAA Division I level.

Location & Transportation

McDermott Convocation Center is located at 4301 Broadway St., San Antonio, TX 78209 — on the University of the Incarnate Word campus along Broadway Street in the Alamo Heights and north-central corridor of San Antonio.

Driving and Parking: The arena sits on the UIW campus just off Broadway Street, roughly midway between downtown San Antonio and the North Star Mall area. On-campus parking is available for events, and arriving early is helpful for well-attended games, concerts, and ceremonies when campus traffic and parking demand increase.

Transit: VIA Metropolitan Transit bus routes serve the Broadway corridor near the UIW campus, making transit a practical option for guests traveling along that part of San Antonio.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are practical at the campus arena along the Broadway corridor. After a well-attended event, building in a little extra time for pickup can make the post-event exit smoother.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is available along the Broadway and Alamo Heights corridor, with additional hotel options in downtown San Antonio and near the airport/North Star Mall areas.

Venue Navigation

McDermott Convocation Center has a straightforward campus-arena layout, with guests entering from the UIW campus into a concourse that surrounds the seating bowl. Because the venue is compact, understanding the single-bowl setup helps you choose seats based on proximity to the court, center-court views, and overall atmosphere.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances serve the arena from the UIW campus. Guests enter into the concourse surrounding the seating bowl before heading to their sections.

Seating Levels: Seating is arranged in a single-bowl configuration typical of a mid-size collegiate arena. Lower sideline and baseline rows place fans closest to the court, while upper rows and sections farther from center court generally provide a broader view at a more accessible price.

Dining Options

Outside the Venue — Broadway Corridor and Alamo Heights

The surrounding Broadway corridor and nearby Alamo Heights offer a range of restaurants and cafes for pre-event meals or post-event meetups. Downtown San Antonio dining is also a short drive away, giving visitors more options before concerts, Cardinals games, ceremonies, and campus events.

Security & Policies

McDermott Convocation 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.

Entry Procedures: Digital ticket verification is typical for ticketed events at McDermott Convocation Center. Downloading tickets before arrival and having them ready on your phone helps speed up entry at the arena entrance.

How Much Do Tickets to McDermott Convocation Center Cost?

McDermott Convocation 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 Cardinals volleyball and basketball to concerts and special campus events.

For college basketball and volleyball, tickets are typically affordable, often starting low for general seating. Matchups with higher demand, better seat locations, and lower rows near the court can increase pricing.

For concerts and special events, pricing varies by act and demand. Seats closer to the stage or court usually cost more than upper-row options, while high-demand performers can move the best available inventory more quickly.

Buying earlier generally offers better seat selection for higher-demand events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections can become more expensive, especially for popular games, concerts, and special events.

McDermott Convocation Center Seating Guide

McDermott Convocation Center uses a single-level seating bowl surrounding the court, creating a compact arena experience where many seats feel close to the action. Understanding the layout before buying helps you compare center-court sightlines, lower-row proximity, and upper-row value.

Best Seats at McDermott Convocation Center

• Best value: Upper rows and sections farther from center court are typically the most affordable areas, offering a broad view of the court or stage while keeping pricing accessible.
• Closest to the action: Lower sideline and baseline rows nearest the court floor put you closest to the players, performers, and in-arena energy.
• Best overall experience: Center-court sideline seats offer the best overall sightlines, balancing proximity with a clear view across the full playing surface or event setup.
• For groups: For high-demand Cardinals games, concerts, and special events, coordinating seats early gives your group a better chance of sitting together in the same section or row.

Getting Ready for Your McDermott Convocation Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking and entry can get busier for well-attended events.

• 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 helps with on-campus parking for well-attended events and gives you more time to enter the arena before the show, game, or ceremony begins.
• Plan for an indoor, climate-controlled arena. McDermott Convocation Center is indoors, so your visit takes place in a climate-controlled setting.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
