Situated on the Northern Michigan University campus in Marquette, the arena sits in the heart of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula—approximately 160 miles north of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in adjacent NMU university lots. Parking is generally free for most events, though availability may vary during large events.
• Public Transit: Marq-Tran provides local bus routes with stops near the Northern Michigan University campus.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services are available in Marquette; designated pickup/dropoff zones are not specified.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before the event, especially for high-attendance NMU Wildcats hockey games. Early arrival helps you secure the best parking in adjacent university lots and gives you time to pass through entry lines, find your seats, and explore concessions.

While events take place indoors, winter weather in Marquette can impact travel and parking conditions. Build in extra time for winter driving, and dress in layers to stay comfortable from the lot to your seat. Cell service is generally reliable but may be more limited during major events due to crowd size—download your mobile tickets in advance.

Because the venue sits on campus with minimal elevation changes and short walks from the lots, navigation is straightforward. If you’re picking up friends or coordinating a group, choose a clear meeting point outside the main entrance before heading inside. For high-demand dates on the Berry Events Center schedule or nights with heavy campus activity, arriving early is your best bet for a smooth start.

Venue Navigation

Inside, the arena’s bowl-style design makes it easy to orient yourself and move between seating, concourse, and concessions. Clear sightlines from every section keep you connected to the action, whether you’re at center ice, in the corners, or near the ends.

Concession stands serve classic arena fare—hot dogs, popcorn, soda, and more—with merchandise stands offering NMU Wildcats gear and event apparel. You’ll also find ATMs on-site for convenience. Restrooms and facilities are accessible from the main concourse, and ramps provide accessible entry and movement throughout. Comfortable footwear is recommended if you plan to walk the concourse or explore different vantage points before the event.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Check event-specific guidelines.
• Prohibited Items: Check event-specific guidelines.
• Re-entry Policy: No re-entry once you exit the venue.
• Service Animals: Service animals are permitted as required by law.

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 for snowy or icy conditions around campus and parking lots.
• For high-attendance hockey nights, arrive 60–90 minutes early to secure convenient parking near the arena.

Pre-Event Planning

If you’re weighing seat options, use the Berry Events Center seating chart to compare views for hockey vs. concert layouts—it’s a versatile venue that reconfigures smoothly between event types. For hockey nights, center-ice views offer balance; for concerts, check whether floor or bowl seats match your ideal distance from the stage.

Build your evening around the Berry Events Center schedule by planning time before or after the event to explore Marquette. Downtown is close by, with local restaurants and lake views that elevate your night out. For groups, plan a simple meet-up spot at the main entrance and designate a group lead for mobile tickets so everyone gets in quickly.

If winter weather is in the forecast, layer up and plan to arrive early. You’ll avoid last-minute rushes, and you’ll have time to grab a snack, scope the merch stands, and settle in before puck drop or the opening act.

Accessibility

Berry Events Center is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in nearby university lots, accessible seating options, and ramp access for smooth entry and movement. The arena’s bowl layout and concourse design make it straightforward to reach your seats and amenities.

For assistance choosing accessible seating, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.
