John Paul Jones Arena

4.5

About this business

Opened in the summer of 2006 to replace the aging University Hall, the University of Virginia now holds its basketball games, concerts and other events in this 16,000 seat arena. Built almost entirely from a private donation, it takes its name from a former alumni, and not the Revolutionary War naval hero. It shouldn't be hard for fans to find, since it's right across the street from the old facility.

You are only allowed four drinks or person and halfway through the concert at 9 o’clock they stop serving beer. The staff is rude, unprofessional an... read more

Superior security, service personnel to include EMS, Police, Scanners for entry, event contractors. All very helpful and friendly. It was great to feel safe during an event. JPA is a beautiful arena. My seats were perfect and I will definitely be back.
