Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Bearcat Arena

800 University Drive

Maryville, Missouri 64468

Located on the Northwest Missouri State University campus, Bearcat Arena sits approximately 90 miles north of Kansas City, Missouri, making it an easy day trip for regional fans.

• Parking: On-site parking is available at the university; parking is generally free for most events, but availability may vary during major games.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options in Maryville — most attendees arrive by car.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Aim to arrive 45–60 minutes before your event for the smoothest experience. This window helps you find parking on campus — which is generally free — and settle into your seats before pregame warmups or introductions. For major games and conference matchups, plan on the earlier side since on-site lots can fill quickly.

As an indoor venue, weather won’t affect your seat or sightlines, so you can focus on the action. Walking and elevation changes are minimal thanks to adjacent parking lots and easy access to the arena, making arrival straightforward for most guests.

Because public transit is limited in Maryville, driving or using rideshare is your best bet. If you’re meeting a group, choose a clear landmark — such as the main entrance — and connect before entering to streamline your arrival.

Venue Navigation

Bearcat Arena’s layout is built for straightforward navigation, with bleacher-style seating surrounding the court to keep you close to the action. You’ll quickly find yourself in the middle of the game-day energy, no matter where you sit.

Standard concession stands offer snacks and beverages, and Bearcat merchandise is typically available during games — a great way to show your school spirit. With minimal walking required from nearby parking to your seats, moving around the venue is easy for families and groups.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive 45–60 minutes early for the best on-campus parking, especially during major games.
• Since Bearcat Arena is indoors, you won’t need rain gear — just bring your game-day spirit.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by exploring the Northwest Missouri State University campus before tipoff. The grounds are known for their attractive landscaping and classic collegiate feel — a perfect warmup to the game-time atmosphere inside Bearcat Arena.

If you’re coming with a group, designate the main entrance or a nearby campus landmark as a meet-up spot. With a 2,500-seat capacity and minimal walking from parking to the door, coordinating entry is simple — but it’s still smart to connect ahead of time, especially for high-demand matchups.
