Marriott Center

If you’re heading to a home game, you’ll be the guest of “The Marriott.” The Marriott Center opened its doors in 1971 and sits on the Provo campus, just steps from the iconic Y Mountain. The raucous student section is known as the ABYSS, which stands for Almighty Brigham Young Student Section, and you can expect them to make their presence known! 

Parking

Several on-campus lots are available, but they fill up quickly, so get there early! GoTickets allows you to reserve your parking spot when you buy your BYU men’s basketball tickets, and we highly recommend doing so to help ensure a smooth arrival on game day.

Alternative Transportation

Navigating campus without a car is a breeze. BYU's extensive shuttle system provides frequent service throughout the day, connecting the Marriott Center to various points of interest. Simply hop on a Provo City Bus and let the shuttles take the stress out of game day transportation.
