Priority Seating

Priority Seating Policy:
The goal of the Providence College priority seating policy is to achieve an equitable distribution of priority seating in the Dunkin' Donuts Center. As always, the intent of our policy is to reward those who have been long-time supporters of Providence College Athletics, while allowing new donors the ability to acquire appropriate seating for their annual contributions in support of our athletic scholarships.

On this page, you will find information defining annual per seat donation levels required in the Dunkin' Donuts Center.

Seating Chart With Donor Levels

The priority seating policy and donor levels, will remain in effect until June 2005.

Donor Seat Allocation:
The Friars Forever Athletic Fund uses a priority point system to assign donor benefits, including priority seating requests. This system will create the fairest allocation for all donors involved with Providence College Athletics.

Donor seats are assigned on a renewal basis. Allocation is based on the priority point system. Priority points affect a donor's ability to receive seat improvements and ticket allocation to postseason competition.

Priority points are earned in a variety of ways, including current year Friars Forever Athletic Fund giving, PC lifetime giving, support of other Athletic Department projects, the number of consecutive years purchasing season tickets. Along with other services to athletics and Providence College. Contributions may come from individuals, corporations, or matching funds and can be in a variety of forms.

Priority Points will be used in determining the allocation of all benefits related to the Friars Forever Athletic Fund.
