Need to Know

The current-linked 2025–26 guest guide prohibits oversized bags, coolers, duffels, purses and fanny packs; medical and childcare exceptions are inspected and tagged. All ages require a ticket. Outside food and drink are prohibited, lobby concessions are cashless, and re-entry is limited to emergencies arranged with staff. Confirm your 2026–27 event’s rules and any accommodation before travel.
Good arrival window

Parking At A Glance

Parking difficulty

Parking options (opens in a new tab)

The current official seating page links separate basketball and hockey diagrams. The basketball chart is dated 2019; both are orientation references. Check your event’s current student, reserved and accessible allocations with the ticket office.

What to do
Choose York Hill Campus, rather than Quinnipiac’s Mount Carmel campus. Current university directions use Route 15 north Exit 51 (formerly 61) or south Exit 52 (formerly 62), then Whitney Avenue and Sherman Avenue. From I-91, the university lists Exit 10 via Route 40. Use current navigation and the arena parking map.
Best option
Use Quinnipiac’s October 1, 2026 game-day parking map: general parking is shown at the north garage and west-side lots, with accessible spaces on the east side of the arena. Reserved and University Club spaces have separate assignments.
Avoid
Follow event attendants and posted restrictions instead of treating every mapped lot as general parking. The current map marks a rideshare location by the upper general-lot junction and a shuttle stop east of the arena; it does not establish fares, parking fees or shuttle frequency.
