Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the event start. Early arrival helps you secure the best parking, breeze through entry, and explore concessions before the crowds build — especially on sold-out nights and during marquee matchups for Nebraska Cornhuskers basketball.

While this is an indoor arena, be mindful of severe weather forecasts, which can affect parking and road conditions. If conditions look rough, add extra time for travel and consider using public transit or rideshare to simplify your approach to the venue.

If you’re parking in nearby garages, expect moderate walking to the entrances. The arena is ADA-accessible with ramps and elevators, making navigation smoother for all guests. With generally strong cell service and free Wi‑Fi available, you can easily pull up your mobile tickets and the Pinnacle Bank Arena seating chart on arrival.

Venue Navigation

Concourses circle the seating bowl with clear access to concessions, restrooms, and merchandise stands located throughout. You’ll also find a guest services desk for questions, family restrooms, and nursing rooms for added comfort and privacy.

The arena features numerous concession points — from pizza, burgers, hot dogs, and nachos to local specialties and craft beers — so you can grab favorites without straying far from your section. ATMs and charging stations are available, and free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected. If you plan to explore multiple levels or traverse between ends of the bowl, comfortable footwear makes a difference.

• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.

• Take a moment to enjoy the west-facing concourse windows at sunset over the Haymarket.
• For night events, check out the illuminated exterior — it’s a great pre- or post-show photo spot.

Pre-Event Planning

Build extra time into your day to explore the West Haymarket District’s shops, galleries, and buzzing restaurants before heading inside. If you’re traveling from Omaha (about 55 miles), consider arriving early to avoid rush-hour traffic and secure prime parking in one of the nearby garages.

Inside, the arena’s west-facing concourses offer scenic sunset views over the Haymarket — a perfect backdrop for group photos before tipoff or the opening act. After the show or game, the illuminated exterior makes for another quick photo op as you exit.

For group outings, set a designated meeting point (such as a specific gate, merchandise stand, or section marker) in advance. With multiple levels, suites, and clubs, coordinating ahead of time helps your group stay connected once the crowd fills in.
