Need to Know

Best for

A current numerical basketball bag-size limit was not verified.
Good arrival window
Use Knott Arena/PNC Sports Complex, 16251 Jim Phelan Way, Emmitsburg, MD 21727. This university-published GPS destination differs from the main campus mailing address and Knott Auditorium. Confirm your basketball door time and event entrance, then allow for parking, screening and the walk.

Parking At A Glance

What to do
Use the current ticket page’s accessible-seating diagram to plan your route through the lower or upper concourse. A marked position is not a guarantee of availability; confirm your actual accommodation and companion seating with 301-447-5700.
Best option
Navigate to the ARCC/PNC Sports Complex and follow your basketball event’s parking directions and posted campus restrictions. The university’s address source describes parking for a specific inauguration; it does not establish blanket free basketball access to those lots.
Avoid
Choose Knott Arena in the sports complex, rather than Knott Auditorium or the general campus office address. Arrange accessible parking and the route to your seating location with the ticket office before travel.

College basketball game day

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