• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services can utilize university-designated drop-off zones near the main entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the start time, especially for high-attendance Mavericks games, commencement ceremonies, or major concerts. Early arrival gives you more options for parking in nearby campus lots and time to get through entry lines without stress.

Because it’s an indoor venue, weather rarely impacts the event experience — but Minnesota conditions can affect travel. Give yourself extra time in winter months, and consider drop-off or rideshare if roads or lots are busy. Cell service is generally reliable on campus, so coordinating with your group is straightforward.

Expect a moderate walk from campus parking areas to the arena. Look for campus wayfinding signs and accessible entrances if needed. If you’re picking up food or meeting friends before the show, set a clear meeting spot near the main entry to make arrival smooth.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by exploring nearby dining before tipoff, first serve, or showtime. With several restaurants near campus and a vibrant downtown Mankato scene, you can plan a casual meetup or a sit-down dinner within minutes of the arena.

If you’re attending with a group, share your seating details and choose a clear meeting point near the main entrance to streamline entry. For commencement ceremonies or major concerts, consider arriving on the earlier side of the 60–90 minute window to accommodate larger crowds and potential reconfigurations of the arena floor.
