SEFCU Arena
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SEFCU Arena is a 4,600-seat multi-purpose arena in Albany, New York. It is home to the University at Albany Great Danes basketball team. The arenaopened in 1992 as the Recreation and Convocation Center, popularly known as The RACC, in anticipation of UAlbany's move from Division III to Division I. The current name of SEFCU Arena was adopted on November 1, 2006 when UAlbany entered a naming rights deal with the State Employees Federal Credit Union (SEFCU).[1]
SEFCU Arena is located behind the Physical Education building, which separates it from University Field. It is most notable for hosting the 2006 America East Conference men's basketball tournament championship in which the Great Danes earned their first bid into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship.
