🤔 HOOS BREW TRIVIA

⏪ ICYMI

We like our Brew hot ‘n’ fresh, but we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

Virginia Athletics Announces New Men’s Basketball Seating Plan At JPJ Beginning With 2027-28. The Virginia Athletics Foundation (VAF) and Virginia Athletics announced Monday (April 14) a new men’s basketball seating plan for John Paul Jones Arena beginning with the 2027–28 season.

This is not a reseating initiative. The 2027–28 Virginia Men’s Basketball Seating Plan addresses the expiration of all current seating agreements following the 2026–27 season and creates a timely opportunity for renewal, evaluation, and long-term program sustainability. The updated plan provides Virginia Athletics with the necessary resources to remain nationally competitive while providing an exceptional gameday experience and increased support for our student-athletes.
