Arrival Recommendations

To beat the rush and breeze through security, arrive 60–90 minutes before tipoff or showtime. This buffer gives you time to park, pass through bag checks, find your seats, and explore concessions or merchandise stands before the main event begins.

Because Bud Walton Arena is an indoor venue, weather won’t impact the event itself. Still, plan for seasonal conditions when walking to and from parking areas. Some lots require a short walk to the entrances, and mobility shuttles are available from select parking areas for guests who need assistance.

If you’re using Razorback Transit or rideshare, confirm your route or pickup location in advance — service can be in high demand during major Bud Walton Arena events. If you’re driving, check whether your event requires a parking pass and allow extra time for campus traffic patterns on game days.

Venue Navigation

Bud Walton Arena’s large, single-bowl design makes it straightforward to navigate once you’re inside. Elevators and ramps offer access to all levels, and concourses connect efficiently to numbered sections across the lower, mid, and upper tiers.

You’ll find multiple concession stands offering classic arena fare throughout the concourse, along with Razorback merchandise locations for team gear and souvenirs. ATMs and charging stations are available on-site, and clear wayfinding helps you reach club seating and suites.

• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Follow the clear bag policy to speed up entry.
• If you’re taking Razorback Transit, check schedules and routes before you head out.

Pre-Event Planning

Build a little extra time into your day to explore the University of Arkansas campus and the Razorback displays and statues outside the arena entrances. It’s a great way to soak in the tradition before a big game or concert. If you’re meeting friends, pick a visible landmark near the arena — like one of the exterior Razorback displays — as your meetup point.

For a seamless experience, plan your parking or transit early, especially for high-demand Bud Walton Arena events. If you prefer a more relaxed arrival, consider dining on Dickson Street or downtown beforehand and then making your way to campus with time to spare.

If you’re set on a particular view, consult the Bud Walton Arena seating chart ahead of purchase so your group can choose adjacent sections or aisles that make it easy to meet at halftime or between sets.
