Anderson Arena is a basketball arena in Bowling Green, Ohio. The arena opened in 1960 and is home to the Bowling Green State University Falcons men's and women's basketball teams and women's volleyball team. The facility currently seats 4,700 people. In 1983 it hosted games from the Mid-American Conference men's basketball tournament involving the Falcons, including the championship game. Anderson Arena was named after BGSU basketball coach Harold Anderson.
[edit] Future New Arena
On March 1, 2008, Bowling Green State University received an $8 million donation from Kermit and Mary Lu Stroh and $7.7 million of the donation will go to construct a new convocation center to house BGSU's volleyball and men's and women's basketball teams, as well as special events. Construction of the Stroh Center will begin in 2010, with a scheduled opening in 2012. Anderson Arena will then serve as the home for BGSU Gymnastics, as well student-athlete support services.[1][2]
