For anyone thinking of going, the Valparaiso campus is a little less than 3 hours drive from Peoria in northwest Indiana, and there are many tickets sill available. Here is a link for tickets. The Bradley bench is in front of section D. If you click on Section D, it will show the available tickets in that section.-
Valparaiso has played in the Athletics and Recreation Center since 1984. It seats about 5,000 and was renovated in 2011, but it still is one of the two smallest arenas in the MVC (along with Gentile Arena at Loyola which also seats about 5,000). And the arena itself has the appearance and feeling of a large high school gym. Most of the seats in the arena are bleacher-type bench seats, but sections F, G, H, I, and J across from the team benches are chairback seats. There will be a number of Bradley fans there, so consider joining us!
