Operations
Chartway Arena is managed by OVG360, a division of Oak View Group. In June 2019, Chartway Federal Credit Union made a $4.25 million branding and sponsorship agreement with Old Dominion to get the arena named, which is located inside the Ted Constant Convocation Center complex.[9]
In 2015, the arena received upgraded video systems throughout the stadium including a digital scoreboard from Daktronics. In 2021, a newly constructed, full-service Starbucks location opened inside the complex, located on the 43rd Street side of the venue near Hampton Blvd.[10]
