John Paul Jones Arena

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.

We were responsible and took an Uber to the concert since we were planning to hav... read more

I don’t think they deserve 1 star. Sold me 5 tickets and day of event said I don’t have seats. Now sold out. Way to break a 3 year old girls heart. Worst event place ever. Don’t ever go there you have been warned!

I recently went to John Paul Jones for the UVA vs UNC game. I paid quite a bit for the tickets I purchased for my fiancé Christmas. Upon arriving at the arena I was told I couldn’t bring my small cross body with my cell phone and wallet into the arena and I would have to take it back to the car. I had already walked 20 minutes to the arena and I then had to walk 20 minutes back and another 20 the arena AGAIN. Mind you, the wind chill was -10 that day. I was extremely upset that this was not on the website and was not adverti... read more
