Rothman Center

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rothman Center is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Hackensack, New Jersey. It was built in 1987 and is home to the Fairleigh Dickinson University Knights men's & women's basketball, volleyball, track & field teams, and many other sports.

The center hosted the Northeast Conference men's basketball tournament final in the 2004-05 and 2005-06 seasons. The center also hosts various trade shows and special events ranging from doll shows and toy soldier shows to visits by Vice President George H.W. Bush in 1988 & former President Bill Clinton as well as former Vice President Al Gore.

The Rothman Center is named for Mr. & Mrs. George Rothman, both of whom were generous benefactors to the university.

The Northeast Conference men's basketball tournament was held there three times.
