Located at 801 N. Cincinnati Street in Spokane, WA 99258, The Kennel offers a convenient, fan-friendly experience for students, faculty, alumni, and visitors. Whether you’re catching a GU men’s or women’s basketball game, a concert, or a campus event, we’ve got you covered with practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining.

Official seating maps are available through Gonzaga Athletics and public maps via SeatGeek.
