Chace Athletic Center features an indoor configuration with a mix of bleacher and reserved seating in the main gym, plus poolside viewing for swimming and diving events. The layout supports basketball, volleyball, and aquatics, giving you multiple vantage points to enjoy the action.

• Reserved Seating (Main Gym): Look for reserved sections when available for Bryant men’s and women’s basketball or volleyball — these seats typically offer centered views of the court and easier in-and-out access during timeouts and intermissions.

• Accessible Seating: ADA-accessible seating is available; ramps and accessible entrances support easy navigation across the facility. Contact the venue or Ticket Purchase for help choosing the right accessible locations for your group.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before your event, especially for high-demand games and meets. Early arrival helps you secure convenient parking, navigate campus lots at a relaxed pace, and get settled before warmups or opening whistles.

Since the Chace Athletic Center is an indoor venue, weather won’t interrupt the action. That said, outdoor conditions can affect your walk from parking to the entrance, so dress comfortably for the season and consider a light jacket for cool New England evenings. Campus walking routes are straightforward with minimal elevation changes.

If you’re coordinating with friends or family, pick a meeting point near the main entrance or in a central campus lot to streamline your arrival. Cell service is generally good on campus, and campus Wi‑Fi is available for guests — a plus when you’re pulling up mobile tickets or sharing seat locations.

Pre-Event Planning

Build a little extra time into your schedule to explore the Bryant University campus before your event. The grounds are picturesque — especially in the fall — and offer relaxed walking paths and green spaces that set the tone for a great game-day or meet-day experience. If you’re attending with a group, designate a campus landmark or parking lot as your meet-up point.

If your plans include grabbing snacks or merchandise, arrive early for the best selection and least crowded lines at concessions or on-site Bulldogs merch stands (when available). For swim meets, it’s smart to settle in early to secure a preferred poolside view; for basketball and volleyball, early arrivals often translate to more seating choices within the bleacher areas.

Coordinating with friends? Share your section or seating preference ahead of time and keep your mobile tickets handy. With a straightforward venue layout and minimal elevation changes, it’s easy to regroup at the entrance or near your section before the action begins.
