Avron B. Fogelman Arena is a 3,600-seat multi-purpose arena in New Orleans, Louisiana and was built in 1933. It is also smallest NCAA indoor basketball stadium. It is the on-campus home of the Tulane University Green Wave men's and women's basketball teams and the women's volleyball team. The men's basketball team also plays selected games at the New Orleans Arena.
The structure was originally built with funds earned from Tulane's appearance in the Rose Bowl football game of New Year's Day, 1932, and for many years it was known around campus as "Rose Bowl Gym." During World War II, the building housed V-12 students. In 1988-'89, the structure was thoroughly remodeled and refurbished, and was at that time named in honor of Tulane-benefactor Avron B. Fogelman, whose donations enabled the restoration to take place. [1]
