Valparaiso University has opened its doors to a new era of basketball engagement, announcing the sale of season tickets for both the men’s and women’s programs ahead of the upcoming campaign. The initiative invites fans to lock in their seats for every home game, promising a blend of affordable access and premium experiences across the campus arena.
Pricing for the men’s side ranges from $170 for those opting for the bleacher mezzanine to $650 for premium courtside seats, with intermediate tiers at $240 for lower bleacher and $475 for chairback. This tiered structure allows supporters to choose the level of comfort and proximity that best fits their budget and passion for the game.
Women’s basketball fans can secure general admission for $75, while families with children under ten enjoy a reduced rate of $30, making the experience accessible across the board. The affordable pricing aims to grow attendance and foster a vibrant community atmosphere for the Lady Crusaders.
An early‑bird incentive rewards the first purchasers: a single voucher grants them twice the number of tickets they would otherwise receive, a deal that has already sparked considerable interest among the student body and alumni alike. This limited‑time offer underscores the university’s commitment to rewarding loyal supporters.
Flexibility is built into the offering, with payment plans stretching up to four months and a $200 donation paired with a $250 purchase enabling fans to lock in a Gold Lot parking pass for the season. Such options remove financial barriers and enhance the overall game‑day experience for season ticket holders.
Coaching continuity and roster outlook
Head coach Roger Powell Jr. has signed a multi‑year contract extension, ensuring stability at the helm of the men’s program and reinforcing confidence in the team’s trajectory. Meanwhile, the women’s squad returns key contributors Maci Rhoades and Allia von Schlegell, whose experience is expected to drive further progress on the court.
