Improvements to the new-look, 12,012-seat, arena include two 360-degree concourses with court-centric seating, new club seats, loge boxes and premium suites. The Arena Club, Champions Club and the Mercedes-Benz Courtside Club provide entertainment options for fans. State-of-the-art videoboards and ribbon boards raise the gameday experience to a new level while increased points-of-sale for concessions feature food options from some of Cincinnati’s most famous restaurants.
New student-athlete amenities include new locker rooms, a film room, a hydrotherapy room and the Margaret K. Valentine Classroom creates more learning environments for the University.
What isn’t expected to change though is the thrilling environment on game day featuring loud and intimidating student sections along both baselines and passionate, determined play on the court.
During its history, the arena has welcomed more than 4.8 million fans and witnessed the Bearcats achieve a 385-79 home record (.830 win percentage) since the first men’s basketball game on Nov. 25, 1989.
