A New Era for UAB Basketball Fans
UAB's men's basketball program is rolling out a new seat‑selection tool for the upcoming 2026‑27 campaign, giving fans the chance to pick their exact seats at Bartow Arena before the season begins.
Season ticket packages start at $125 for the Blaze's Corner tier and climb to $300 for lower‑level seats, with scholarship‑funded options also on the table. The pricing structure reflects a tiered approach that rewards early adopters while offering premium experiences for those seeking the best views.
Head coach Andy Kennedy, now in his fourth season, has guided the team to 145 victories, captured two conference tournament titles and steered the program to four straight championship games, including a quarterfinal appearance last year.
The recent renovation of Bartow Arena adds a suite of upgrades, from the C Spire Club lounge to enhanced floor‑level seating, all designed to elevate the game‑day atmosphere for season ticket holders.
UAB employees and members of the UAB National Alumni Society enjoy a 10 % discount on season tickets, a perk that the university hopes will broaden participation among its campus community.
Fans can lock in their seats immediately after the June 30, 2026 priority deadline, with the selection map becoming available online shortly thereafter.
Beyond ticket sales, the athletics department encourages contributions through sport‑specific gift accounts, which fund recruiting, nutrition, student‑athlete development and technology upgrades across UAB Athletics.
