About this venue
# Lockridge Arena at Colorado School of Mines Lockridge Arena, home to the Colorado School of Mines volleyball program, is located in Golden, Colorado, nestled at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The arena is part of the Student Rec Center and serves as the primary venue for Mines volleyball tournaments and matches. When you arrive, expect a modern recreation facility designed to accommodate athletes and spectators comfortably. The arena features indoor volleyball courts with good sightlines, making it easy to follow the action from the stands. The venue is well-maintained and typically climate-controlled, which is especially appreciated given Golden's elevation of over 5,600 feet. Golden itself is a charming mountain town with plenty of amenities nearby. You'll find restaurants, coffee shops, and basic services within a short drive. The area offers beautiful scenery and outdoor recreation if you have downtime between matches. Practical tips: Arrive early to find parking, as tournament weekends can get busy. Bring layers, as mountain weather can be unpredictable. The elevation may affect how you feel, so stay hydrated. Check the tournament schedule in advance, as multiple matches may run simultaneously. The Mines campus is easy to navigate, and staff are typically helpful with directions to Lockridge Arena.
