Chartway Arena is a 9,100-seat multi-purpose venue located on the campus of Old Dominion University and operated by OVG360. Opened in 2002, it is recognized as one of the premier mid-sized collegiate venues in the country. The arena serves as home to the Old Dominion Monarch Men's and Women's basketball teams and hosts various events including wrestling matches, concerts, graduations, career fairs, and lectures. The venue is part of the University Village project, which includes restaurants, shopping, offices, and residences. Visitors have noted that while the staff is friendly and the facility is generally clean, some aspects could be improved. Many have commented on the seating being too close, with one noting they could smell the breath of the person next to them. Additionally, exiting the arena can be inconvenient, as guests are often required to climb to the top level. Parking has also been mentioned as a challenge. Despite these drawbacks, attendees have reported enjoyable experiences and recommend Chartway Arena for concerts and shows, highlighting its diverse range of events and positive atmosphere.
Very clean and well organized facility. Ample parking and easy access.

I saw Lauren Daigle at Chartway. It was a very Inspirational experience. You could feel Her Love for the Lord. All the workers there were helpful in assisting Me to get where I needed to go. I was alone and had never been there before, so I was put at ease. I hope to see Lauren again at Chartway.

Seats are waaaaaaay too close. I was able to smell the breath of the unknown person next to me and it wasn’t pleasant. Other than that, it was a nice setting.
