U.S. Century Bank Arena — FlU-University Park Campus
11200 SW 8th St., Miami FL 33199

Since the opening of US Century Arena on February 1, 1986, opponents have quickly discovered that winning basketball games in South Florida is no easy task. It began early in 1986, while FIU was still a Division II program.
The arena was named the U.S. Century Bank Arena in 2008.
A full array of activities has taken place since this 94,000 square foot multi-purpose facility was dedicated. Sporting events, concerts, banquets, trade shows, graduation and convocation ceremonies and other University and community events have all been accommodated.
Home to the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Recreation, FIU Arena’s second-floor offices serve professors, coaches and support staff.
The Arena was the summer home of the NBA’s Miami Heat for three years. Twice, US Century Arena hosted rookie tournaments featuring the Heat and three other NBA organizations.
The main court is a Cincinnati Robbins perma-cushion maple wood basketball floor and is made up of some 19,000 square feet of wood. Four retractable basketball backboards allow for the floor to be divided into two practice courts, while Hydra Goal II portable basketball standards are used for intercollegiate competition. Nevco scoreboards are found at either end. Halophane high intensity lights provide one of the finest and brightest facilities in all of South Florida. The Arena has an overall seating capacity of some 5,000.
Support areas on the first floor include an equipment room, training room, and 876 lockers in six different, full-service dressing rooms. Academic space in the building includes three classrooms, and physiology, computer and kinesiology laboratories. Additionally, there are four, four-wall, fully-air conditioned racquetball courts with a spectator viewing area for recreational and tournament usage.
