Gallagher-Iba Arena is the home of Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball and wrestling in Stillwater, Oklahoma. It is named for legendary OSU wrestling coach Ed Gallagher and Hall of Fame basketball coach Henry Iba, and its close, old-school seating bowl gives it a reputation as one of the sport's toughest road environments.
Opened in 1938, it is nicknamed 'The Madison Square Garden of the Plains' and stands as one of the most storied venues in college sports and a cathedral of collegiate wrestling, home to numerous NCAA wrestling championship teams. Under Henry Iba, the basketball program won back-to-back national titles in the 1940s, cementing the arena's place in the sport's early history. It has hosted championship-caliber Cowboy teams across multiple sports for more than eight decades.
