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.

awesome time and the bands were great. they made for a happy crowd
Saw Def Leppard, Poison, Tesla on May 5th. Got the prepaid parking pass with the ticket and glad I did. It was my first time at the arena but I had heard stories from friends about parking issues. Venue staff was polite and friendly. I was a little confused about seating. Went online within 2 minutes of tickets going on sale and best seats I could get were in section 303. Wondering if fan clubs, VIP, etc took all the good seats ahead of time? Being really afraid of heights I was a nervous wreck up in those seats, but once ev... read more
The venue is five stars for sure!! I enjoyed a concert there and there wasn't a bad seat in the house. I am sure it's even better to watch a UVA basketball game! My only complaint was the parking. First was the price of twenty dollars, but worst of all was the traffic! Charlottesville is a college town and the streets are not designed for the large amount of traffic. The police did a good job directing the chaos though. Overall the arena is great and the staff was fantastic!!!
I was there for the Tessla,Poison and Def Leppard show. Section 303...up high. The seats are tiny with no leg room. Your feet are under your knees with no room to move. The seats are narrow,maybe 15inches...no room to sit back. You have to stand up if anyone stands below you because you cant see. Never again will I go unless i can afford floor seating. The concert was awesome! The leg and back cramps not so much.
