Cintas Center

Open your ticket and confirm the event date, door time, seat or standing area, and ticket delivery instructions.

Cintas permits a clear bag up to 12 × 6 × 12 inches, a one-gallon clear freezer bag or a clutch up to 4.5 × 6.5 inches. Medical and childcare exceptions use the designated South or East Entrance doors listed in Xavier’s guide. Outside food and drinks are prohibited. Re-entry needs prior Guest Services approval for an emergency. Contact Xavier early for reserved accessible seating; lower accessible areas use the Gate 8A ramp or Gate 7 lift, and upper areas use elevators. The nursing suite is past Gate 17 near Section 215. Map source filenames are older than the current 2026–27 visitor instructions.

Destination: Cintas Center, 1624 Herald Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45207. Cintas Center doors open 90 minutes before men’s basketball and 60 minutes before other events unless announced otherwise. Basketball parking lots open two hours before tipoff. Xavier currently lists public parking at $15 per vehicle, payable by credit card only, in Lot E and lots marked P; confirm the event’s rate and access. Reserved lots require the digital parking pass: a season hangtag helps direct traffic but does not replace scanning the pass. The current taxi/rideshare pickup and drop-off checkpoint is St. Francis Xavier Way. The official guide designates St. Francis Xavier Way for taxi and rideshare pickup and drop-off; verify the return ride and any Cincinnati transit itinerary separately. Download a digital parking pass before arrival or target a current public paid lot, then follow the approach published for its color zone instead of the arena address alone.

This guide does not yet establish Cintas Center’s accessible seating or step-free entrance. Ask the venue about the exact seat, entrance and route before buying.
