McKenzie Arena

McKenzie Arena — "The Roundhouse" — in Chattanooga is the home of the Chattanooga Mocs basketball teams. Opened in October 1982, its circular design gives the arena its enduring nickname, nodding to Chattanooga's deep railroad history. The round bowl wraps fans tightly around the court, making it one of the better home environments in the Southern Conference. It also hosts concerts and community events beyond basketball season.

McKenzie Arena opened on October 8, 1982, and has served as the home of Chattanooga Mocs basketball for over four decades.
