About University Of Dayton Arena

University of Dayton Arena, also known as UD Arena, opened in 1969 and is owned and operated by the University of Dayton. Located at 1801 Edwin Moses Blvd in Dayton, Ohio, the arena seats approximately 13,400 for basketball, with capacity adjusting for other event configurations. A major multi-phase renovation completed in 2019 modernized the building's concourses, premium areas, seating, and main entrance.

The arena is home to the Dayton Flyers men's and women's basketball teams, both NCAA Division I programs in the Atlantic 10 Conference. It is also nationally known as the longtime annual host of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament opening-round games, now known as the First Four, and it has hosted more NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament games than any other arena in the country.

Beyond basketball, University of Dayton Arena hosts concerts, comedy shows, family shows, and other entertainment events. Its classic, steeply pitched basketball bowl gives the building an intense, close-to-the-court atmosphere that has helped make it one of college basketball's great home environments.

Location & Transportation

University of Dayton Arena is located at 1801 Edwin Moses Blvd, Dayton, OH 45408 — just southwest of downtown Dayton near the Great Miami River, with convenient access from I-75.

Driving and Parking: Most attendees arrive by car. The arena sits off Edwin C. Moses Boulevard, and on-site and surrounding lots provide ample parking. For major Dayton Flyers games, NCAA Tournament sessions, and other high-demand events, lots can fill in the hour before tip-off or showtime, so earlier arrival is the best approach.

Transit: The Greater Dayton RTA bus system serves the area. Transit is an option, though the arena is most commonly reached by car because of its location near I-75 and its surrounding parking areas.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at the arena. After high-attendance games and tournament sessions, expect congestion and longer wait times as crowds leave the building at once.

Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is concentrated in downtown Dayton and along the I-75 corridor, both a short drive from University of Dayton Arena. Staying in either area keeps the arena, downtown dining, and major road access close by.

Venue Navigation

University of Dayton Arena is a single-bowl indoor arena, so understanding your section location before arrival helps you move efficiently through the concourse and into the seating bowl. The venue's 2019 renovation improved circulation and added a redesigned grand entrance while preserving the arena's steep, energetic basketball setting.

Entrances and Access: The renovated main entrance is on the east side of the building, with additional entry points serving the concourse. On busy nights, knowing whether you plan to enter through the main east-side entrance or another access point can make arrival smoother.

Seating Levels: The arena has lower and upper seating sections wrapped around the court, along with premium and club areas added during the renovation. The steeply pitched bowl helps keep fans close to the floor, but upper rows involve stairs.

Accessibility: Accessible seating, parking, and services are available in accordance with ADA standards.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff direct guests to seating sections throughout the arena. Because the bowl is steep, comfortable footwear is helpful, especially if your seats are in upper rows.

Dining Options

Inside University Of Dayton Arena

Concession stands inside University of Dayton Arena offer standard arena fare. Alcohol service and premium or club food service are available, and the renovation brought upgraded concourse options to the building. For the quickest experience, plan concession trips before the busiest pregame, halftime, intermission, or post-entry rushes.

Outside the Venue — Dayton

Downtown Dayton, the Oregon District, and restaurants and bars near the river are a short drive from the arena. The Oregon District is a popular dining and nightlife area, while downtown Dayton offers additional pre-event and post-event options for fans and concertgoers.

Security & Policies

University Of Dayton 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: A clear-bag policy is typically in effect at University of Dayton Arena, with limits on bag size and small permitted exceptions. Packing light and using a compliant bag helps keep entry moving.

Commonly Prohibited Items: Commonly restricted items include weapons, outside food and drink, professional cameras, and other items covered by the arena's event policies.

Re-Entry: Re-entry is generally not permitted once guests leave the building. Event-specific re-entry rules can vary and are shown on the event listing.

Entry Procedures: Expect bag checks, metal detection screening, and digital ticket verification at entry. Arriving with a compliant bag and pre-downloaded tickets speeds the process at the arena entrance.

How Much Do Tickets to University Of Dayton Arena Cost?

University Of Dayton Arena ticket prices vary widely 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 Dayton Flyers regular-season basketball to NCAA Tournament First Four sessions and touring concerts.

For Dayton Flyers basketball regular-season games, tickets can start as low as roughly $15–$30 for upper-level seats. Lower-bowl seats, sideline locations, and premium seating areas are typically higher, especially for strong matchups and marquee dates.

For NCAA Tournament and First Four sessions, prices are typically higher and often start around $40 or more depending on the session and demand. Tournament events can move quickly because University of Dayton Arena is nationally recognized for hosting opening-round NCAA Tournament games.

For concerts and family shows, tickets typically range from about $30 to $100 or more depending on the act, seating location, and event demand. Floor or lower-bowl locations generally cost more than upper-level seats, particularly for higher-profile performers.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing, particularly for high-demand matchups and tournament sessions. As inventory tightens closer to the event date, the best remaining sections often rise in price.

University Of Dayton Arena Seating Guide

University of Dayton Arena has a continuous seating bowl that wraps around the court, with lower-level sections, upper-level sections, and premium or club areas. Its steep pitch creates a close, loud basketball environment, while event setups can shift for concerts, family shows, and other arena events.

Best Seats at University Of Dayton Arena

• Best value: Upper-level sections and seats higher in the bowl or in the corners and ends are typically the most affordable, while still keeping fans inside the arena's strong crowd atmosphere.
• Closest to the action: Courtside seats and lower-bowl sideline rows put you nearest to the floor for basketball and closest to the stage or performance area for many arena events.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline sections near center court offer the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere for Dayton Flyers basketball and tournament sessions.
• Premium and suite options: Club and premium seating areas added during the renovation provide elevated service and upgraded seating options for premium buyers and groups.
• For groups: Coordinating seats early is helpful for high-demand games, tournament sessions, concerts, and family events where contiguous seats can become harder to find as inventory moves.

Getting Ready for Your University Of Dayton Arena Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially for major games and NCAA Tournament sessions when parking lots and entrances get busy.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Free WiFi is available in the arena, but downloading mobile tickets before arrival is still advisable during high-attendance events. 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 major games and tournament sessions, parking lots can fill in the hour before tip-off, so give yourself extra time to park, enter, and reach your seats.
• Wear the right footwear. The steeply pitched bowl involves stairs to reach upper rows, so comfortable shoes are helpful.
• Dress in layers. University of Dayton Arena is an indoor venue with climate-controlled seating, but winter walks from the parking areas can be cold.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. If you are attending a major game or tournament session, plan for extra time around parking, entry, and post-event traffic.
• Know your entrance. The main entrance is on the east side, and reviewing your section before you arrive can help you move through the building more efficiently on busy nights.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
