SEFCU Arena

In the spring of 1992, the University opened the SEFCU Arena, an $11 million state-of-the-art facility. The SEFCU Arena is the home for UAlbany’s men’s and women’s basketball teams, and has an .11 mile indoor track. The 5,000-seat arena also serves as a major venue for community events such as rock and pop concerts, sporting events and University activities.

In addition, the SEFCU Arena contains a fitness center with Nautilus and Universal machines, rowing ergometers and exercise bikes; four racquetball/handball courts and four squash courts; athletic training and rehabilitation facilities with three whirlpool baths, a musculoskeletal evaluation device and other therapeutic machines. The SEFCU Arena also houses numerous team and general use locker rooms, as well as an indoor practice facility for the women's golf team.

The SEFCU Arena and Physical Education Building were recently air-conditioned, as the state appropriated funds for renovations and permanent improvements to the University's facilities. The $2.3 million in funding was prompted by the New York Giants decision to hold their football training camp at the University in March 1996.
