Naming rights were sold to a regional credit union, Island Federal Credit Union. The 2012 America East Championship Game between Stony Brook and Vermont was played at the arena. It contains four scoreboards and two videoboards, plus four luxury suites with 16 seats each. It is also used for concerts, trade shows, conventions, graduations and other special events.
