Getting thereArrival timing, parking, transit and getting home
Localtime
When to arrive
Audience doors typically open at least one hour before the event; use your actual production’s entry and VIP times. Lots generally open two hours before the show. Event-day box-office opening two hours beforehand is separate from audience doors; ordinary Wednesday/Friday box-office service is at Bojangles Coliseum. Allow time for the parking walk and screening.
Transit & the journey home
The owner’s current campus arrival address is 2700 East Independence Boulevard, with parking access and rideshare adjacent to Ovens off Paul Buck Boulevard/Arena Boulevard. Ovens’ main entrance faces Independence Boulevard on the north side. Wheelchair seating is on the orchestra level; mezzanine/balcony seats require stairs. The lobby elevator serves the Starlight Lounge, not wheelchair-accessible upper seating. Reserve listening devices in advance at 704-372-3600; request interpreters at least three weeks ahead.
Confirm return service and last departures for your event’s finish time.
Parking
Parking At A Glance
Parking difficulty
Shared BOplex lots with show-specific inclusion
- What to do
- The current operator says parking is included in most ticketed events, but not every show; the general charge when not included is $10 per vehicle, subject to select-show changes. Check the actual ticket and pre-show notice before assuming parking is included or purchasing a separate pass.
- Best option
- Follow the current operator’s 2700 East Independence Boulevard campus directions and use Paul Buck Boulevard/Arena Boulevard for lot access. Lots generally open two hours before events. The rideshare pick-up/drop-off point is adjacent to Ovens on that same approach; allow extra time when the neighboring Coliseum also has an event.
- Avoid
- Do not assume every ticket includes parking, treat a box-office opening as audience doors, or route to the neighboring Coliseum entrance when your performance is in Ovens. Reconcile the legacy 2900 East Independence venue listing with the current owner’s 2700 campus directions and the actual event’s approach instructions.

Inside the Venue At A Glance
01
MixedViewing and venue layout
Use the owner section diagram and retained real fan seat-photo gallery to compare the pit, orchestra and upper levels with your actual performance. The owner diagram has no row/seat numbers. Wheelchair-accessible seating is on the orchestra level; stairs to upper seats are not replaced by the lounge elevator.
Inside the venuePayment, water and the atmosphere
Payment
BOplex describes its venues as CASHLESS. Confirm specific credit/debit brands, mobile wallets, conversion services and any independent seller’s methods before your Ovens show.
Water & drinks
BOplex prohibits ordinary outside food/beverages, explicitly including bottled water. Exceptions cover medical/dietary necessity and infant dietary needs; coordinate ahead. No ordinary empty-bottle exception is stated.
The experience
- Best for: Ovens Auditorium visitors comparing the actual updated-seat interior with the owner seating diagram while planning an orchestra-level accessible ticket and the shared BOplex arrival.
- Watch out for: Use a clear bag no larger than 12 × 6 × 12 inches or a non-clear clutch up to 4.5 × 6.5 inches. Screening includes walk-through metal detectors and bag searches. Arrange medically necessary exceptions in advance at 704-372-3600. Outside food/drink has medical, dietary and infant-need exceptions. The complex is cashless; event-specific camera, Yondr and age instructions still apply.
Why It Works
- ✓A current owner photograph shows the auditorium after the stated 2020 seating replacement.
- ✓The owner distinguishes orchestra wheelchair positions from stair-only upper seating.
- ✓Parking and rideshare instructions identify the Paul Buck/Arena Boulevard approach.
Know Before You Book
