Need to Know

Best for
Hawkins Arena is Mercer’s 3,200-seat basketball and volleyball arena inside the University Center. The official photo collection includes real occupied-court, baseline and exterior views, but a current section-by-section seating chart has not been verified.
Watch out for
The available 2024–25 men’s guide lists doors one hour before tip-off; confirm the current event before planning around that time. A current Hawkins basketball bag-size or re-entry policy was not verified. Ask ticket staff about your bag, medical needs and entry arrangements rather than applying football rules.
Good arrival window
Use Hawkins Arena on University Center Drive, Mercer University, Macon, GA 31207. The ticket office is on the upper level. Confirm your event’s door time and accessible entry; the campus’s general mailing address is not a specific arena door.
Main transit note
Mercer’s linked digital-ticket guide uses Tixr for basketball. Open your actual ticket before arriving, charge your phone and follow its wallet or download instructions. For ticket and accommodation help, the current official site lists 478-952-1740.

Parking At A Glance

What to do
Mercer’s University Center directions use I-75 Exit 163 onto Mercer University Drive, a left at the four-way stop and the first right onto University Center Drive. Continue toward the arena and baseball field, then follow actual game-day lot signs and attendants.
Best option
Mercer’s published 2024–25 men’s basketball guide places general parking in the OrthoGeorgia Park baseball outfield and lists $10 parking. Its real diagram distinguishes preferred spaces adjacent to Hawkins Arena for passholders and media. Confirm the 2026–27 lot assignment and price before travel.
Avoid
The 2024–25 guide’s preferred lot is restricted, and its $10 rate is historical men’s basketball guidance. Do not assume it applies to women’s basketball, volleyball or your current event.

College basketball game day

Hawkins Arena reflects Mercer traditions and campus rhythms, but the smoothest visit starts with the school’s current game-day information rather than a generic arena address.
