A NEW ERA FOR

LONGWOOD ATHLETICS

2023-2024 TICKET

GUIDE SEASON

WELCOME TO THE

JOAN PERRY BROCK CENTER

FROM THE ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

The arrival of the Joan Perry Brock Center (JPB) brings with it a new era for Longwood Athletics. The addition of this transformational facility will provide our basketball programs with the opportunity to train and compete in an environment that is reflective of our teams' commitment to excellence. It will provide our staff with the ability to better recruit and retain top student-athletes and assemble a team that can bring future championship titles to the halls of the Joan Perry Brock Center. Furthermore, it will increase our department’s ability to amplify the great story of Longwood through competition and fan engagement.

JPB will also serve as the launching point for one of the Athletic Department’s priorities: the growth of the Student-Athlete Excellence Fund. As you will see in the pages that follow, exclusive game day experiences in the Joan Perry Brock Center will be made available to supporters of the Student-Athlete Excellence Fund.

However, the gifts of the Joan Perry Brock Center reach far beyond just the athletics department. Lancer supporters provide the energy that fuels our department’s mission and are an integral part of our success. This state-of-the-art facility is meant to be a gathering place where the game day experience of our alumni, community members, students, faculty and staff can grow and prosper, and the Lancer spirit can be invigorated.

We invite you to join us as we embark on this new journey by becoming season ticket holders and experiencing first-hand all the beauty and energy that the Joan Perry Brock Center will bring to our special campus.

BECOMING A SEASON TICKET HOLDER

YOU'VE GOT OPTIONS!

Whether you are a returning season ticket holder or a brand new Lancer fan, we want you to be a part of the basketball community that is cheering our Lancers on to victory. There are two options for becoming a 2023-2024 season ticket holder and claiming your seat.

PURCHASING TICKETS OUTRIGHT BECOMING A PHILANTHROPIC PARTNER 1 2

Here it is: season tickets in the bowl will cost $100 each. That's it. No surprises, no gimmicks. Your $100 season ticket guarantees you a reserved, padded chair for all men's and women's home basketball games, both non-conference and conference play alike (that is upwards of 30 home basketball games each season).

HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN

$100 PER SEASON TICKET

The Student-Athlete Excellence Fund is the difference-maker for the success of Longwood Athletics by supporting student-athletes, coaches and staff, as well as our long-term vision. We believe deeply in the power of sports, and private support strengthens that resounding belief. Unrestricted dollars are the key to moving beyond operational needs, building a program that will be the first choice for top student-athletes, and continuing to elevate Longwood. Gifts to the Student-Athlete Excellence Fund directly support that endeavor, and they make a tangible difference in achieving the University's mission.

TWO WAYS TO MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT

ENHANCING THE GAME DAY EXPERIENCE

A ONE-OF-A-KIND EXPERIENCE

The Joan Perry Brock Center is a one-of-a-kind college basketball venue. There was no cookie-cutter approach to its design or construction. We also know that there is no cookie-cutter approach to how Lancer fans might want to experience a game day at JPB. For those season ticket holders who wish to customize and enhance their game day experience, there will be opportunities to do that through contributions to the Student-Athlete Excellence Fund. The experience upgrades below are available to a limited number of fans, so get yours while supplies last!

JUST THE RIGHT (PARKING) SPOT!

Parking at any sporting event is one of the first questions that comes to mind when you are planning your trip. While there are several public parking areas that can be utilized on game day, some fans may choose to take the stress of parking out of the equation. Premium parking will be available in the Brock Commons Garage, offering the most convenient access to JPB. Premium parking holders will have access from Redford Street into the garage with a guaranteed space, an elevator up to Brock Commons, and easy entry directly into JPB.

WELCOME TO CLUB 64!

Basketball games are social gatherings, opportunities to build community and bring Lancers from near and far together for a common goal. Some fans may arrive laser-focused on the action on the court, but we also have many fans who will want to reconnect with classmates, celebrate our teams, and be a part of the Lancer basketball community. With that in mind, we are introducing Club 64, a premium game day hospitality experience within JPB. This will be an exclusive location to enjoy pregame fellowship with Lancer fans, complimentary food, a cash bar serving craft beers, wines and select spirits, and scouting reports from Longwood coaches on that night's opponent. Club 64 will be open for most home games, with a full schedule provided at the start of the season.

BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE!

With nearly 1,200 fully-cushioned, reserved seats in the lower bowl, each one with a terrific sight line to the court, what more could you ask for? Well, what about being as close to the action as possible? We know some fans want to experience Division I basketball games where they can be right in the mix, reveling in the suspense of whether or not a basketball player will come crashing into their seats to save a loose ball. If this sounds like you, then JPB's courtside premium seats are your ticket to the action!

LEAVE YOUR LEGACY ON JPB

MAKE YOUR MARK

The Joan Perry Brock Center was made possible by the generous support of donors who believe in the power of sports and the mission of Longwood Athletics. Come August, our community will bear witness to the impact of philanthropy any time they step through the doors of the Joan Perry Brock Center. In the spirit of this unprecedented generosity, we invite our community to be a part of the new facility's impact with a gift of at least $2,000 to the Student-Athlete Excellence Fund or by purchasing a "JPB Inaugural Season Ticket Package."

With your gift you will become an investor in this project, and your name will be displayed on the Joan Perry Brock Center's Building Champions Wall to be seen by Lancer fans for years to come. This is an exclusive opportunity surrounding JPB's inaugural basketball season. All gifts must be made by September 1, 2023. If you have questions or would like more information on how to get your name on the JPB Building Champions Wall, please contact Trey Eggleston, Assistant Vice President for University Priorities at egglestontm@longwood.edu or (434) 395-2138.
