Save Mart Center
Save Mart Center at Fresno State is a multi-purpose arena, on the campus of the California State University, Fresno, located in Fresno, California. An open house was held for community on November 5, 2003, with the official ribbon cutting following on November 27, 2003.
It is home to the Fresno State Bulldogs basketball team and, for the first five seasons in the ECHL (2003-08), the Fresno Falcons ice hockey team; prior to the opening of the building, they played at Selland Arena.
It is also a concert destination, with its first performance featuring opera tenor Andrea Bocelli.
Financing for the project was provided through revenue, from corporate sponsorships, private gifts, leasing of luxury suites, sale of club seating and personal seat licenses, as well as revenue from advertising and signage agreements.
