Need to Know

Best for
The September 2026 guide’s real basketball diagram shows Sections 100–119, reserved seating, a student area and general admission around the remaining bowl. Use it for orientation, then confirm your current event’s seat, open sections, allocations and price. Arrange accessible seating with the Athletics ticket office before game day because the published policy describes limited first-come availability. Small personal still cameras with lenses of three inches or less are ordinarily permitted, but an individual event may restrict cameras further.
Watch out for
Allen Arena permits inspection of purses and packages and can refuse entry if inspection is declined. Outside food, drinks, bottles, cans and coolers are prohibited. The published venue policy does not establish a clear-bag size rule; check the actual event notice before packing.
Good arrival window
Allen Arena is on the south end of Lipscomb’s Nashville campus. The current visiting guide approaches the arena from Granny White Pike after Woodmont Boulevard. Use the arena destination and your actual event’s parking notice; the guide’s 4115 Granny White Pike label identifies a loading dock, not a general fan drop-off.
Main transit note

Parking At A Glance

What to do
The published basketball ticket page reserves season parking privileges for eligible National Bison Club members who also hold season tickets. A game ticket alone does not establish access to those reserved spaces or hospitality areas. Confirm your current parking entitlement and the game notice; do not assume an old championship shuttle runs for every home game.
Best option
The 2025 university map marks Allen Arena as building 51, Arena East Garage as P4 and Arena West Garage as P5. Athletics diagrams use different P numbers, so match the garage name, street and your parking pass rather than relying on the number alone. The campus map identifies locations; it does not authorize reserved spaces.
Avoid
Do not confuse the newer campus map’s P2 North Parking Garage with the older basketball map’s P2 label. Check your game’s parking instructions and any reserved garage levels before leaving the car.
