Do I go through Hilton to get to the new area for food and drinks or do I straight in the other building. First time this year and I’m not sure where to enter to get to the food pre game. Any help would be appreciated
Question on the new Johnnys area

If you park in C1/C2 you can go in the East doors by the old one and then walk thru Hilton instead of outside. You will scan your game ticket in at the doors, and then scan out at the west doors and take the walkway over to Scheman.
If you park in B1 or any other lot, walk right into Scheman.
If you park in B1 or any other lot, walk right into Scheman.
Can you go through hilton to access that walkway before hilton doors normally open though? (Johnnys opens 2 hours before, hilton only 1 hour I believe)
Thanks everyone. I didn’t know they enclosed the walkway. That’s awesome. Btw if u see a marine corps jacket hanging off my chair on court level, come up and say high. I have court seats. Would like to meet some of u.
Yes, if you park over there and follow these directions
Because you park on the northeast or southeast side of Hilton Coliseum, we wanted to communicate separately that starting two hours prior to each game, you may still enter Hilton Coliseum at the NE or SE doors. Please note the procedure below:
- Scan IN your basketball game ticket at the Hilton NE or SE doors
- Walk around inside Hilton Coliseum to the West
- Scan OUT your same basketball game ticket at the Hilton West doors
- Walk across the bridge into Scheman
- Scan IN your Johnny’s at Scheman ticket to obtain your wristband
- Re-scan IN your same basketball game ticket at any Hilton doors
If you don’t park near the old Johnny’s doors, then it makes more sense to walk directly into Scheman but it’s an option that people should know about, especially when it’s this cold.
Scheman
There are a lot of us disabled people very displeased that we can no longer ride the Scheman elevator up and walk across to Hilton. Walkers, crutches and canes are not the best in snow and ice. I spoke to a lady in Hilton who said she will no longer go to the games in bad weather. I would think somebody obviously disabled could ride the elevator up and walk across - but the answer is NO, as I asked twice. I will not be attending tomorrow, and I have been coming since 1969.
I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere.. but what are they going to do with the old space in Hilton?
Are you able to get dropped off at the ramps on the west side of Hilton and take the elevator up there?
There is still a drop off at the west end of Hilton at street level. Ramp to the door, and inside Hilton there is an elevator to ride up to the concourse level.
Don't know about the SE corner of Hilton, but the entry on the NE corner of Hilton just north of the old Johnny's definitely has steps. That's where we used to go in.
Not when I come by myself, which would have been the case tomorrow.
My driver is also an older individual, and although not disabled, walking on such surfaces is not the best for her either.
Thanks for the suggestion though. We have done that in the past, on occasion. Extra hassle for the driver, but better than a fall.
Not an issue for us, but, yes there are no steps on the east side, but there is a wheelchair accessible ramp.
