Description
Situated on the northwest corner of the university's east campus, this 9,500-seat venue expands its lineup to host festivals, cultural events, and graduation ceremonies. The interior leans utilitarian, featuring basic seats and concrete floors that give the space an older, no-frills character. However, the arena is well-maintained and clean, with a straightforward layout that is easy to navigate. Visitors find the entry security and nearby parking uncomplicated, backed by helpful staff.
