The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Wisconsin Center District have reached an agreement for the Panthers to play their men's basketball games at the U.S. Cellular Arena.

The five-year contract begins this season and runs through the 2017-18 campaign. The tentative 2013-14 schedule has Milwaukee hosting DePaul Nov. 19 in its first regular season game back Downtown. Facility availability for the full 2013-14 slate is still being finalized.

The new agreement returns the Panthers to the Cell after the team played its 2012-13 season at the on-campus Klotsche Center.

UWM students will continue to get free admission to games, and the free transportation from campus to the Cell on game days will also return.

For more information on tickets for the 2013-14 season, call the Panther ticket office at (414) 229-5886. Full ticket pricing and package information will be available shortly, while the complete 2013-14 schedule will likely be released in August or September.
