About John Gallagher Center

The John Gallagher Center is Niagara University's on-campus, multi-purpose arena and student center facility. As the home venue for the Purple Eagles basketball and volleyball programs, it hosts university events, performances, and campus activities. The venue is located on the Niagara University campus at 6 Varsity Dr, Niagara University, NY 14109.

Whether you’re catching a men’s or women’s basketball game, a women’s volleyball match, or a theatre performance, you’ll find a straightforward experience designed for easy access and comfortable viewing. We’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining to help you secure your seats with confidence.

Seating in the Gallagher Center uses chairback seating. For the most accurate seating configuration, check the official Niagara University Athletics seating chart. The facility is a hub of campus life and sits at the heart of Niagara University’s athletics and programming. If you’re planning to visit, rely on the campus shuttle for convenient intra-campus travel, and explore nearby lodging on the US side, including the Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa in Lewiston and other options in Niagara Falls, NY. We’ve included affiliate-friendly hotel and restaurant suggestions to help you plan with ease.

Parking is available across multiple campus lots, including O'Shea/Timon, Penrose, Kiernan, DePaul, and Butler. The Gallagher Lot is typically reserved for media and handicap parking, with a drop-off point in front of the center. If you’re driving in, arrive early to secure convenient parking near the venue. The Niagara University campus shuttle schedule provides transportation around campus for fans and visitors.

Notable events include Niagara Purple Eagles home games (men’s and women’s basketball, and women’s volleyball) as well as Niagara University Theatre performances conducted within the Gallagher Center complex. The space carries a legacy dating back to its renaming on May 23, 1982 to John J. Gallagher Center, with Layden Court added to the floor in 2014.
