About Trask Coliseum

Trask Coliseum is an indoor multi-purpose arena at 601 S. College Rd in Wilmington, North Carolina, on the campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Opened in 1977 and operated by the university, the arena seats approximately 5,200 for basketball and serves as the centerpiece athletic facility of UNCW.

The venue is best known as the primary home court for the UNC Wilmington Seahawks men's and women's basketball programs, both competing in NCAA Division I as members of the Coastal Athletic Association. Beyond basketball, Trask Coliseum hosts university events including commencements and ceremonies, as well as occasional concerts, family shows, and athletic-related programming.

Located within the UNCW athletics complex alongside Hanover Hall and Brooks Field, Trask Coliseum offers a mid-sized college coliseum environment where the student section and alumni crowd help create an energetic game-day setting.

Location & Transportation

Trask Coliseum is located at 601 S. College Rd, Wilmington, NC 28403 — on the University of North Carolina Wilmington campus along South College Road, a major Wilmington arterial.

Driving and Parking: On-campus parking lots serve Trask Coliseum, with event parking available in surrounding university lots. The venue is accessible from South College Road, also known as US-117/NC-132, and arriving early is advisable on game days when campus lots fill ahead of popular events.

Transit: Wave Transit operates bus service in Wilmington, including routes serving the university area. Most attendees arrive by car, but bus service can be practical for guests already traveling within the campus or nearby Wilmington area.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Wilmington, and campus drop-off near the coliseum entrances is straightforward. After larger events, expect typical post-event waits as guests leave the UNCW athletics complex.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are clustered along South College Road, Market Street, and near the I-40/Wilmington corridor. Additional lodging options are available toward downtown Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach for visitors making a full trip out of their event.

Venue Navigation

Trask Coliseum uses a single-bowl college arena layout, which makes it easier to understand than many larger multi-level venues. Reviewing the layout before arrival helps you choose the right seating area and move efficiently once you are inside.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances serve the arena bowl from the surrounding campus concourse. Hanover Hall adjoins the east end of the building, placing Trask Coliseum within a connected UNCW athletics complex.

Seating Levels: The arena has a single-bowl layout with chairback and bench seating surrounding the basketball court. Sections include sideline and baseline seating, along with a designated student section that contributes to the venue's college-basketball atmosphere.

Accessibility: Accessible seating and services are available consistent with university athletic facilities.

Getting to Your Section: Staff and signage direct guests to sections within the single-bowl layout. Because seating surrounds the court in a compact arena configuration, locating sideline, baseline, and student-section areas is generally straightforward once inside.

Dining Options

Inside Trask Coliseum

Trask Coliseum offers concession stands with standard arena fare during events. For busier basketball games and high-attendance university events, allowing extra time before tipoff or the start of the program can make concessions and entry smoother.

Outside the Venue — South College Road and Market Street

Restaurants line South College Road and Market Street near the UNCW campus, giving attendees convenient options before or after events at Trask Coliseum. A broader dining scene is also available in downtown Wilmington and along the Riverwalk for visitors who want to turn the event into a full evening out.

Security & Policies

Trask Coliseum 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.

Bag Policy: UNCW Athletics typically enforces a clear-bag or limited-bag policy for events, with specific size limits varying by event. Bringing a compliant bag helps make entry faster.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, and professional camera equipment, consistent with NCAA and university venue policies. Items deemed a safety risk can also be restricted at entry.

How Much Do Tickets to Trask Coliseum Cost?

Trask Coliseum 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 Seahawks basketball to premium conference matchups and occasional concerts.

For UNCW Seahawks basketball during the regular season, tickets are typically low-priced and often start around $10–$25. Prices can shift based on the opponent, seat location, and demand for a particular date.

Premium matchups, rivalry games, and conference games can run higher based on demand. Lower sideline and courtside rows closest to the floor tend to be more sought after, while upper and baseline sections usually offer the strongest value.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection for high-demand games. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections can become more expensive, especially for marquee matchups.

Trask Coliseum Seating Guide

Trask Coliseum has a single-bowl arena layout with sections surrounding the basketball court, making sightlines, proximity, and seat location especially important when choosing tickets. Sideline seats offer a balanced view of the action, while courtside and lower rows put fans closest to the floor.

Best Seats at Trask Coliseum

• Best value: Upper and baseline sections are typically the most affordable areas at Trask Coliseum, offering a broad view of the court and a strong college-arena atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Lower sideline and courtside rows nearest the floor provide maximum proximity to Seahawks basketball and other arena events.
• Best overall experience: Center-court sideline sections offer the best overall sightlines, balancing distance, angle, and energy from the surrounding arena bowl.
• For groups: For high-demand games, coordinating seats early is the best way to keep your group together in the same section or row.

Getting Ready for Your Trask Coliseum Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking lots can fill ahead of 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 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. Campus lots fill ahead of popular events, especially on game days, so give yourself extra time for parking, walking to the arena, and security.
• Wear the right footwear. Trask Coliseum is a standard campus arena with stair access to seating sections, so supportive shoes are helpful for moving through the bowl.
• Plan for indoor comfort. The arena is indoors with climate-controlled seating, making it a straightforward setting for basketball games, ceremonies, concerts, and family shows.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
