Troy Trojans men's & women's basketball
Trojan Arena is a 5,200 seat arena that is home to the Troy men's and women's basketball, volleyball and track programs. The arena is also used for the University's commencement ceremonies and special events. Trojan Arena replaces the University's longtime basketball and events facility, Sartain Hall, which opened in 1962.
The facility was constructed by Whaley Construction Co. of Troy, with architectural direction by Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood and design support by venue specialists Populous, noted for its designs of such sporting venues as Yankee Stadium in New York City, the main stadium for the 2012 London Olympic Games and Nanjing Sports Park in China.
Trojan Arena has been considered to be one of the most modern basketball facilities in the southeastern United States since it was completed in 2012. The total cost to build the arena was $40 million.
Trojan Arena seating features 5,200 chair-back seats, seven upper-level suites and an exclusive Stadium Club area for donors, while also having floor seating for students. The arena features an LED ribbon board that circles around the entire arena, one of only two of its kind in the Sun Belt Conference. Daktronics designed, manufactured, and installed two 767-square-foot LED video/scoring system boards, which are the largest end-wall installations Daktronics has ever produced for an indoor college facility. The court level of the arena features eight sections of Daktronics LED scorer’s tables. They each measure 2 feet high by more than 9 feet wide and can be connected in any configuration to showcase student athletes, display additional statistical information in real time, recognize sponsors and promote upcoming events. The arena was featured in LED Magazine for its use of state-of-the-art technology throughout the arena.
