Lorman, MS 39096

• Parking: On-site parking is available. Arrive early for the best spaces, especially for high-attendance games and major ceremonies.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available; the venue is primarily accessible by car.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services may be limited due to the rural location. Use campus entrances near the complex for convenient dropoff and pickup.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before your event. Early arrival helps you secure convenient parking, pass through entry lines with time to spare, and settle into your seats before tipoff. This is especially helpful for high-attendance SWAC games and major university events.

The Davey L. Whitney Complex is an indoor venue, so weather isn’t typically a concern during the event. That said, it’s smart to check the forecast for your drive to campus and for any time spent walking from the parking lots. Expect moderate walking with minimal elevation changes between parking areas and the main entrances.

Given the rural setting of Lorman, cell service can vary by carrier. Download your mobile tickets in advance, share your group’s meeting point, and keep a portable charger handy. If you’re coordinating rideshare, plan pickup details before the event begins to avoid post-event congestion.

Venue Navigation

The Davey L. Whitney Complex features a traditional arena-style layout surrounding the court, making it easy to orient yourself once inside. Concessions are typically available during events, and restrooms can be found throughout the concourse areas serving the seating bowl.

Wear comfortable footwear for walking to and from parking and navigating the concourse between concessions, restrooms, and your section.
