Seating Recommendations and Charts

Reilly Center offers seating for approximately 5,480 guests, with a basketball-first layout that keeps fans close to the court and can be reconfigured for concerts, banquets, trade shows, and university events. Standard numbered sections wrap the floor, creating a compact bowl that’s known for intense crowd noise and a true home-court feel.

• Lower-Level Midcourt Sections: These seats provide the best sideline sightlines and place you right in the middle of the atmosphere. Fans and reviews consistently point to lower-level midcourt as the top choice for seeing plays develop and feeling immersed in the game.
• Sideline Lower Bowl: If midcourt isn’t available, lower sideline seats along either half still deliver excellent views, quick access to concessions, and an energetic game-day experience.
• Baseline/End-Court Sections: Great for fans who love watching the action around the basket, baseline seats amplify the roar on big blocks, dunks, and free throws.
• Upper-Level Sidelines: A strong value play with clear court views, these sections let you take in the entire floor while staying within budget.
• Upper Corners and Ends: These seats offer a broader vantage point and a full-arena perspective — a good match for families or larger groups focused on the overall experience.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Reilly Center

3261 W State Rd

St. Bonaventure, NY 14778

The arena sits on the St. Bonaventure University campus in Western New York, roughly 75 miles south of Buffalo. It’s an easy drive for fans across the Southern Tier and nearby communities.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in university lots near the arena. Parking is generally free for most events, though availability can tighten for larger games or special events.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: No designated rideshare zones are listed; typical drop-off and pickup occur near main arena entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before major basketball games. Early arrival gives you time to park, navigate campus lots, and enjoy the pregame buzz that helps make Reilly Center events special. For concerts, banquets, and trade shows, arriving early keeps entry smooth and lets you settle in without rushing.

While the venue is indoors, Western New York winters can introduce challenging travel conditions. If you’re driving in colder months, allow extra time for snow and ice, and consider parking in lots closest to the arena to minimize walking in the cold.

The walk from nearby campus lots to the entrances is short and mostly flat, with minimal elevation change. If your group is meeting up, set a clear rendezvous point — such as the main entrance — and keep your tickets ready on your phone to streamline entry, especially during high-demand events.

Venue Navigation

The Reilly Center’s compact bowl makes it easy to find your section and settle into your seats quickly. You’ll find standard arena amenities throughout the concourses, including concessions serving snacks, drinks, and hot food, along with restrooms and team merchandise stands operating during events.

The complex includes additional athletic facilities — such as the Reilly Center Pool — underscoring its role as a central hub on campus. Expect straightforward wayfinding and short walks between seating, concessions, and exits; comfortable footwear is always a plus if you plan to explore or move around during breaks.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check with the venue or St. Bonaventure University for the most current bag policy before you go.
• Prohibited Items: Typical arena restrictions apply, including weapons, outside food and drink, and large bags.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: ADA-compliant service animals are welcome.

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.
• In winter, allow extra travel time due to potential snow and ice on regional roads.
• Arrive early to soak in the Reilly Center’s energetic pregame atmosphere.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early and experiencing the pregame energy that defines Bonnies basketball. Grab concessions, check out team merchandise, and get to your seats in time to feel the crowd build — it’s a big part of what makes the arena such a tough place for visiting teams.

If you have time before or after the game, explore the St. Bonaventure University campus. The grounds are known for scenic paths and collegiate architecture, and the Quick Center for the Arts on campus offers galleries and performances that complement your game-day or concert plan. Coordinating with your group ahead of time — including a designated meeting spot and a plan for parking — keeps the focus on fun from the moment you arrive.

For winter events, monitor the forecast and road conditions and give yourself a cushion in case of snow. For high-demand Reilly Center events, consider parking in lots closest to the arena for quicker post-event exit.

Accessibility

Reilly Center is ADA-accessible, with accessible parking available in campus lots near the arena, designated accessible seating locations, and ramps and accessible entrances to support smooth arrival and movement throughout the venue. These features help guests with mobility needs get to their seats comfortably and enjoy the event.

If you need assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing. We’re happy to help you compare options and find the best view for your group.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions serving standard arena fare — snacks, hot food, and beverages — so you can grab a bite without missing the action. Merchandise stands are open during events, making it easy to pick up Bonnies gear or souvenirs before tipoff or during halftime.
