Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Mercyhurst Athletic Center

501 East 38th Street

Erie, Pennsylvania 16546

Located within the Mercyhurst University campus, the MAC sits in the heart of Erie — an easy drive for students, alumni, and local fans.

• Parking: On-site parking is available adjacent to the facility.
• Public Transit: Public transit options vary — check your local transit authority for routes near Erie.
• 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

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before your event. This buffer makes parking simpler, helps you avoid lines, and gives you time to get settled before tip-off, first serve, or the opening whistle. Since it’s an indoor venue, you won’t need to factor in weather once you’re inside — though winter conditions in Erie can affect travel time, so build in a few extra minutes on snowy days.

The MAC is on a university campus with adjacent parking and minimal walking required. Follow campus signage to the arena entrance, and allow time for standard security checks at entry. If you’re meeting friends or family, pick a clear rendezvous point — such as the main entrance — before you arrive to streamline your meet-up.

If you’re bringing small bags, check current bag guidelines for your event and travel light for swifter entry. Having your Mercyhurst Athletic Center tickets pulled up on your phone before you approach the doors will also speed things along.

Venue Navigation

Mercyhurst Athletic Center is a straightforward, campus-based arena with an intimate layout — ideal for staying close to the action. Concessions and restrooms are typically located near concourses and entry points, so you can step out briefly without missing much of the event.

The facility sits adjacent to the university’s Recreation and Fitness Center, making it easy to explore nearby campus amenities before or after your event. Walking and elevation are minimal, but comfortable footwear is still a smart move if you’ll be navigating parking areas or standing to cheer.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.

• Arrive 45–60 minutes early to secure on-campus parking and get through entry smoothly.
• Set a meet-up point outside the main entrance in case your group gets separated.

Pre-Event Planning

Headed to a Lakers game or tournament? Double-check the event start time and your Mercyhurst Athletic Center tickets in advance, then plan your arrival window to enjoy the pre-game atmosphere. If you like to strategize your view, review the Mercyhurst Athletic Center seating chart on Ticket Purchase before you go so you know exactly where you’re headed once inside.

Because the MAC is located on the Mercyhurst University campus, it’s easy to combine your event with a quick campus stroll or a stop at nearby amenities in the Recreation and Fitness Center area. If you’re attending with a group, coordinate arrival and seating details ahead of time — sharing your digital tickets, seat locations, and a meet-up spot saves time and avoids last-minute confusion.
