CINCINNATI --- Xavier University is excited to announce a new hospitality area for men's basketball games at Cintas Center that honors the legacy of all-time leading scorer Byron Larkin. The new 2,696 Zone, which is named for the number of points Larkin scored during his career, will be a private hospitality space accessible exclusively to patrons seated in the new Lookout section.
Â
"It's exciting for me to have one of the new hospitality spots in Cintas Center honor the number 2,696, which is very dear to my heart," said Larkin. "That sounds like a great place to meet and share Xavier basketball stories and history. I can't wait to stop by at 2,696 after the first game."
Â
The 2,696 Zone is designed to be a casual space with televisions, games and other activities. Lookout ticket holders will receive all-you-can-eat food plus two drink tickets per game. There will be a rotating menu plus bar service. In addition to 120 fixed premium seats, The Lookout will be flanked by group terraces on either side for parties of 25 to 40, ideal for corporate entertainment and group outings.
Â
Larkin, who ironically now ranks ranks No. 23 on the NCAA Division I all-time scoring list with 2,696 points scored from 1984-88, earned Second Team All-American (UPI and Scripps Howard) and Third Team All-American honors (AP) following his senior season. Larkin, who was elected to the Xavier Athletic Hall of Fame and has had his No. 23 jersey retired, is looking forward to his 20th season on the Xavier radio broadcasts.
Â
Larkin will also be a part of a new addition to the The Traditions Club, which is located on the second-level of Cintas Center below the Xavier Athletics Hall of Fame and accessible from the West Concourse. The hospitality space will be transformed into an exciting sports bar area with televisions playing popular out-of-town games. Full bars, food options and a convenient coat check area will enhance the Xavier experience for fans, but perhaps the most exciting feature will be Larkin and radio partner Joe Sunderman holding their pre-game radio show live from the Traditions Club. Those with access to the Traditions Club include patrons in the courtside, front line and green seating areas.
