New Orleans Privateers Men's Basketball Tickets

Founded in 1969 in New Orleans, the Privateers men's basketball program has punched above its weight for decades. UNO raced to the 1975 Division II national championship game, then rose to Division I with conference crowns in the Sun Belt and a flurry of NCAA and NIT berths. The resurgence continued in 2017 with Southland regular-season and tournament titles that sent the Privateers back to the Big Dance. Icons abound, from NBA first-rounder Ervin Johnson to program-shaping coach Tim Floyd.

Game days at Lakefront Arena (capacity 8,933) feel uniquely Crescent City: a spirited pep band, a loud, close-to-the-floor student section, and a community that treats basketball like a neighborhood gathering. The sightlines are great, the energy is relentless, and every run sounds bigger by the water. Buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
