Trojan Arena is a 6,000 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, the main stadium for the 2012 London Olympic Games and Nanjing Sports Park in China.
