About UNF Arena

UNF Arena is an indoor multi-purpose arena located on the University of North Florida campus at 11852 University of North Fl Dr in Jacksonville, Florida. Opened in 1993 and owned and operated by the University of North Florida, the arena seats approximately 5,800 for basketball, with capacity adjusting for other event configurations.

As the primary indoor athletic and events facility for UNF, the arena serves as the home court for the North Florida Ospreys men’s basketball team, women’s basketball team, and volleyball program. It also hosts ASUN Conference competition, university commencement ceremonies, campus concerts, speakers, community events, and family shows.

Its compact bowl-style layout and close-to-the-court seating help create an energetic atmosphere for Ospreys games on UNF’s wooded Southside campus.

Location & Transportation

UNF Arena is located at 11852 University of North Fl Dr, Jacksonville, FL 32224 — on the University of North Florida campus in Jacksonville’s Southside district, east of I-295 off Kernan Boulevard / UNF Drive.

Driving and Parking: Access to UNF Arena is overwhelmingly car-based. On-campus parking is available in UNF lots and garages near the arena, and event parking is typically free or low-cost on campus during games and events. Arriving early is advisable for high-demand events so you have time to park and walk to the arena.

Transit: The Jacksonville Transportation Authority serves the campus area, though most guests reach the arena by car. If you are using JTA service, allow extra time for the campus approach and the walk from your stop to the venue.

Rideshare: Uber and Lyft operate throughout Jacksonville, and drop-off and pickup are straightforward at the campus arena. Designated loading areas near facility entrances help keep rideshare movement organized around event times.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated along the Southside and Butler Boulevard corridor, near the St. Johns Town Center. Additional hotel options are available toward the Beaches and the Baymeadows area.

Venue Navigation

UNF Arena has a compact indoor layout with single-bowl seating surrounding the court and a main concourse. Knowing the basic layout before you arrive helps you move efficiently from campus parking areas into the arena and toward your seats.

Entrances and Access: Main entrances open onto the arena concourse from the campus parking areas. For busy basketball games, commencements, and concerts, arriving with your tickets ready helps keep the entry process moving.

Seating Levels: Seating is organized in a single bowl around the court. That compact layout keeps most seats relatively close to the action compared with larger arenas, while the main concourse provides access around the seating bowl.

Accessibility: ADA-accessible seating and services are available as part of the university facility. Guests who need accessible seating should select appropriate listings while browsing tickets and review event-day details before arrival.

Dining Options

Inside UNF Arena

UNF Arena offers concession stands with standard arena fare during events. Lines are typically easiest to manage when you arrive before the main pre-event rush or visit concessions outside peak halftime, intermission, or changeover windows.

Outside the Venue — Southside Jacksonville

Dining near UNF Arena is concentrated around the St. Johns Town Center and along the Southside / Butler Boulevard corridor. Numerous restaurants are within a short drive of campus, making the area convenient for a pregame meal, a post-event stop, or a quick group dinner before heading to the arena.

Security & Policies

UNF Arena 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: As a university athletic facility, UNF Arena may use bag restrictions and clear-bag expectations for certain events. Policies vary by event, so choosing a small, compliant bag can help speed entry.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, and similar items are typically restricted. Other items that create a safety risk may also be refused at entry.

Entry Procedures: Digital ticket verification and bag checks are typical at the entrance. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds entry and helps you move from the concourse to your seat more easily.

How Much Do Tickets to UNF Arena Cost?

UNF Arena 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 college volleyball and basketball to concerts and special campus events.

For college basketball and volleyball, tickets are often approximately $10–$30, with higher prices possible for marquee matchups, high-demand dates, and stronger seat locations closer to the court.

For concerts and special events, pricing varies by act and event format, with many events falling into a mid-range arena price category. Demand, seat location, and the specific performer or event type all influence the final listing price.

Buying earlier generally provides better seat selection and pricing for in-demand events. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, prices for the best remaining sections can rise, especially for marquee games, concerts, and campus-wide events.

UNF Arena Seating Guide

UNF Arena’s seating layout is worth understanding before buying because its single-bowl design places fans around the court, while configurations can change for concerts, commencements, family shows, and other events.

Best Seats at UNF Arena

• Best value: Higher rows in the single bowl can offer a strong balance of price and view, especially for college basketball, volleyball, and family events.
• Closest to the action: Lower sideline and baseline rows nearest the court put fans closest to the pace of Ospreys basketball and volleyball.
• Best overall experience: Center-court sideline sections typically offer the best overall sightlines in a compact arena of this size, balancing court view, proximity, and atmosphere.
• General admission: General admission seating is offered for some events, giving fans flexible seating options when that format is used.

UNF Arena Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for UNF Arena events directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections side by side, check row depth and distance from the stage or court, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your position in the venue, your distance from the stage or court, and whether you're in the single bowl, along the sideline, or nearer the baseline — so the tickets you choose match exactly what you're looking for on event night.

Getting Ready for Your UNF Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a campus arena where parking, walking time, and event demand can affect 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 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. For high-demand games, give yourself extra time for campus parking and the walk to the arena.
• Wear the right footwear. UNF Arena is a standard campus arena with concourse and stair access to seating, so comfortable shoes are helpful for walking from parking areas and moving through the venue.
• Dress for an indoor venue. UNF Arena is indoors and climate-controlled, so weather is not a factor once you are inside.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. On busy event nights, the combination of campus traffic, parking, and the walk from nearby lots can add time before entry.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
