Walsh Gymnasium

Walsh Gymnasium is a multi-purpose arena in South Orange, New Jersey. The arena opened in 1939 and can seat 2,600 people. It was home to the Seton Hall University Pirates men's basketball team before they moved to Continental Airlines Arena and then the Prudential Center. Currently, the arena hosts the women's basketball and volleyball teams, and is part of the Richie Regan Recreation and Athletic Center. The building, like the school's main library, is named for Rev. Thomas J. Walsh, Fifth Bishop of Newark and former President of the Board of Trustees.

In 2007 Seton Hall University announced that selected women's basketball games will be played in Prudential Center in Newark.

Both games for the Pirates in the 2012 NIT were played in Walsh. The first game of the 2012-2013 men's basketball season will be played in Walsh.

Famous quotes containing the word walsh:

    “That a lover forsaken
    A new love may get;
    But a neck, when once broken,
    Can never be set:
    And, that he could die
    Whenever he would;
    But, that he could live
    But as long as he could;”
    —William Walsh (1663–1708)
