Top Basketball in Kentucky

I think sitting in the upper levels can give you a fantastic view and save some bucks. The atmosphere was still electric from up there, plus tickets are often cheaper.

I suggest arriving around 5:30 PM for a 7 PM game. You’ll find parking easier and can stroll around the area without feeling rushed.

Check out the merchandise before the game. I waited until halftime, and a bunch of stuff was already sold out. I recommend getting your gear early!

Grab a pre-game meal at a local spot instead of inside the arena. The food’s tastier and way cheaper. I had a great sandwich nearby for half the price of the arena food

I recommend getting snacks inside the arena—they’re pricey, but I found the nachos were def worth it, crispy and cheesy. Forget the vending machines outside, they're way overpriced!

I think it’s a good idea to explore the surrounding area before heading in. There are some cool bars and restaurants just a few blocks away where you can grab a bite and beat the crowd.
