The Klotsche Center (formally the J. Martin Klotsche Center) is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on the campus of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. The arena opened in 1977. It is home to the Milwaukee Panthers women's basketball team, and formerly hosted the men's team as well until the men moved into U.S. Cellular Arena.[1] It was named after UWM's first Chancellor, J. Martin Klotsche. In 2007, the arena celebrated its 30th anniversary.
