Duquesne plans to open Cooper Fieldhouse for fans to explore
Duquesne isn’t bragging about its unbeaten record inside its UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse. Not after only two games. But it surely doesn’t mind showing off the venue in advance of the 2021-2022 season.
Duquesne will hold two open house events at its newly constructed on-campus home July 28-29.
Duquesne officials are inviting anyone to visit the Atlantic 10 Conference’s newest facility from 4:30-7 p.m. on the 28th and 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the 29th. There will be three guided tours each day at 11:30 a.m., 12:15 p.m. and 1 p.m. on the 28th and 5 p.m., 5:45 p.m., and 6:30 p.m. on the 29th.
Members of the men’s and women’s basketball teams will mingle with the crowd, and ticket office personnel will be on the job to help fans get a view of seating opportunities.
Admission is free and fans may enter through the Clearway Community Energy Gate on Forbes Avenue.
