The UCCU Center is Utah Valley University's arena: 8,000 seats at 800 W. University Parkway in Orem. It's home to UVU basketball and also hosts concerts, UVU's graduation and other events. For most events, park in UVU lots L3, L5, L8, L14 or W1, leave the bag at home for basketball (only a 5-by-8-inch clutch is allowed), and expect doors to open about an hour before the start.
Details are from the UCCU Center's guest guide, ticketing page, parking guide and event pages, read Nov. 9, 2026.

Parking
- Event lots: the guest guide and event pages say guests may park in L3, L5, L8, L14 and W1 on event days. Parking anywhere else can get you a citation. Questions go to UVU Parking Services, 801-863-8188.
- Cost: the parking guide doesn't list a price for those lots. It describes the visitor lot northwest of the building as a premium pay lot for most ticketed events.
- Accessible parking: on event days, that visitor lot is reserved for ADA parking, guests with limited mobility and priority guests. ADA spaces are first come, first served, with a valid placard.
- Drop-off: cars dropping someone off may enter the ADA lot but must then leave.
Getting there without driving
UVU sits right next to FrontRunner. From the arena's parking guide:
- FrontRunner stops at Orem Central Station, on UVU's West Campus.
- UVX, the free bus rapid transit line, runs from UVU West to UVU Main in about 7 minutes, every 6 to 15 minutes.
- On foot: the UVU pedestrian bridge crosses I-15 from West Campus to Lot L14 on main campus. From the UVU Main UVX stop, the arena is about a 5-minute walk.
Check UTA's schedules for late events; our UVX bus guide and FrontRunner station-by-station guide cover fares and hours.
Bags and what you can bring
The bag rule depends on the event, so check the event page before you go.

A little history
The arena opened as the David O. McKay Events Center. In 2010, UVU sold the naming rights to Utah Community Credit Union in a 10-year, $2.5 million agreement, and it became the UCCU Center, KSL reported at the time.
