5 Practices, and Uniforms NKU s event management staff will welcome your party upon arrival to the BB&T Arena and will provide directions to your locker room, filming area, and athletic training facilities. Beverages, cups, and bench towels will be located on the team bench. Towels will be provided in your locker rooms for post-game showers. The BB&T Arena is a multi-purpose facility, and there are often other events in the arena the day before and the day of games. NKU Athletics event management staff will work to schedule any practice times and shoot-around times you request on the day of a game and the day preceding the game. The old basketball gymnasium, Regents Hall, may need to be used as a practice location if the BB&T Arena has another event the day before a game. Please contact Associate Athletic Director Chris Hafling to schedule practice times and shoot-around times. NKU s men s basketball team will wear white or gold uniforms at home. Visiting Team Food The BB&T Arena has an exclusive agreement with Chartwells. As a result of this exclusive relationship, no outside food is allowed to enter the building. There are two options for visiting teams for post-game or post-practice food needs. Option 1: Visiting teams may order food from an outside entity and have it delivered to the BB&T Arena security office at the loading dock. Upon its arrival, an NKU event management staff member will inform a visiting team manager/coach to go to the security office, take care of payment arrangements, and place the food on the visiting team bus. Outside food is not allowed to come in the building. Option 2: Chartwells does offer boxed meal options that can be delivered directly to your locker room. Please contact Sara Trauth at Sara.Trauth@compass-usa.com or to get further information on options, pricing, etc.
