2025-26 Schedule

It's possible that I'll be in Peoria during part of the week of October 19 and, if I am, would like to attend the exhibition against St. Louis. I haven't been in the Civic Center in over 30 years. I would like someone here to tell me if the seats have chair backs on them. I'm no longer able to sit on bleachers for any length of time.

Thanks for any replies!!

Yes, every seat is a theater-type of seat with a back. There are no bleacher (bench-type) seats anywhere in the arena. I can attest that they are very comfortable.

Yes, I should be alone. PM me your contact information (real name, unless it really is "yoda" lol, email, and phone number) and I'll contact you as the date draws closer.

Thank you.

When is the full schedule coming out?
Click to expand...
I have been informed that it is close to being released, but I haven't heard a specific date. I do not know what the delay is, but it usually involves ironing out issues that teams have with their dates and opponents. Since the conference expanded to 12 teams (now 11), the MVC schedule has been a bit more delayed in being released. Last year, the full schedule was not released until September 20-

Tomorrow, Monday, Sept. 22, is the first day of official practice for Bradley (and for any other team that plays their first game on Monday, Nov. 3).
NCAA rules allow teams to begin organized, full team practices 6 weeks prior to their first game.
 
The A-10 preseason poll is out...

Saint Louis, our Oct. 23 opponent, is picked 2nd but with 11 1st place votes and a vote total of 341 compared to VCU 342.
St. Bonaventure, our Nov. 3 opponent is picked 8th

That's great! Nice to see ESPN+ streaming exhibition games.
Looks like the game is also broadcast locally on WACY-TV, channel 32 in Appleton-Green Bay.

Let's hope the St. Louis exhibition game is streamed, too, for those who are out of town.
 
Is anyone planning to go to the first Bradley exhibition game in Green Bay on Saturday, Oct. 11?
I have checked with their ticket office, and they are not selling individual game tickets for men's basketball yet, but they think they will become available by next week.

I was going to until I saw that the packers had a home game that Sunday....hotels were pretty expensive because of that, not to mention I don't really care to be amongst so many packer fans. If I found somebody willing to go up and come back same day I may consider it, but my wife didn't want to do that.

The visitor's (Bradley's) bench is in front of section 113. However, for some reason, Section 113 is not available to purchase online.
Their phone number is 920-465-2625
