Seating Recommendations and Charts

McCann Arena offers bleacher seating surrounding a central hardwood court, providing clear sightlines from most areas. The layout keeps you close to the action, with seating organized along the sidelines and baselines for basketball and around the court configuration for volleyball.

• Sideline Center Bleachers: For basketball, central court seats along either sideline are fan favorites for balanced views of both ends and optimal sightlines for set plays.
• Sideline Corners: If you want strong views without the center-court price, corner sideline sections typically offer a great mix of proximity and perspective.
• Baseline Seating: Sit behind the baskets to feel the intensity of fast breaks, rebounds, and late-game free throws — a popular spot for student sections.
• Higher Rows on Any Side: The upper bleacher rows help you see plays develop across the entire floor, especially helpful for volleyball rallies and defensive rotations.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

McCann Arena

3399 North Road

Poughkeepsie, NY 12601

Located on the Marist College campus along Route 9, McCann Arena is approximately 85 miles north of New York City — about 1.5 to 2 hours by car.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in Marist College lots. Parking is generally free for most events, but it can be limited during large campus events.
• Public Transit: Dutchess County Public Transit buses serve the area, and the Metro-North Railroad’s Poughkeepsie station is about 2 miles from campus.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare pickup and dropoff are available at campus entrances near the arena.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before tip-off or first serve. This timing helps you find the best parking in the campus lots, breeze through entry, and settle into your seats before the teams take the court. For popular McCann Arena events, that extra time makes a difference.

Because McCann Arena is an indoor venue, weather won’t impact the event itself. Still, if it’s raining or snowing, allow a few extra minutes to walk from campus parking to the entrance. Terrain is generally flat, but there’s still some walking involved from the lots.

If you’re taking Metro-North to the Poughkeepsie station, plan for a short rideshare or taxi to campus — it’s about 2 miles. Arriving early also gives you a chance to pick up Marist Red Foxes merchandise or grab concessions before the lines build.

Venue Navigation

McCann Arena’s layout is straightforward: bleacher seating surrounds the central hardwood court, with clearly marked aisles and entries. You’ll find concessions serving snacks and drinks, restrooms, and water fountains within the arena. Merchandise stands featuring Marist Red Foxes gear are open during games, and additional athletic facilities are part of the surrounding James J. McCann Center.

With some walking required from the parking areas and bleacher steps inside the arena, comfortable footwear is a good idea. Signage is clear, and staff can direct you to seating areas configured for basketball or volleyball.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Typical college arena policies restrict large bags; check Marist College athletics for the latest guidelines before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Usually includes outside food and beverages, weapons, large signs, and noisemakers.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Service animals are permitted as required by law.

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.
• If you’re arriving by train, plan for a quick rideshare from Poughkeepsie station (about 2 miles).
• For peak McCann Arena events, arrive 45–60 minutes early to secure parking in campus lots.

Pre-Event Planning

Build a little extra time into your schedule to enjoy the Marist College campus. Scenic Hudson River views and pleasant walking paths make for a relaxing pre-game stroll. If you want to stretch your legs more, the nearby Poughkeepsie waterfront offers additional riverfront access and places to unwind before you head in.

Traveling with a group? Decide on a clear meeting point near a campus entrance or inside the arena to regroup after grabbing concessions or merchandise. For games that use general admission or side/court-oriented seating, arriving together helps ensure your party sits in the same area.

If you’re making a day of it, consider pairing the game with a visit to the Walkway Over the Hudson or the Hudson Valley Rail Trail. Both are popular Hudson Valley attractions and easy to fit around McCann Arena events.

Accessibility

McCann Arena is ADA-accessible, with designated ADA parking in campus lots near the arena, accessible seating options, and accessible entrances and ramps. If you or a guest needs accommodations, plan to arrive early and speak with venue staff for assistance.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving snacks, drinks, and typical arena fare. It’s convenient for quick bites at halftime or between sets, and merchandise stands carry Marist Red Foxes gear for fans.
