Overview
Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena is the home of the Florida Atlantic Owls basketball program in Boca Raton, Florida. The on-campus arena is nicknamed 'The Burrow' and also hosts volleyball, making for a small, intense home environment. Sellout crowds pack in tight for FAU's American Athletic Conference games.
History & Legacy
The arena opened to women's basketball in 1984 as FAU Arena, with the men's program and volleyball following as tenants in 1988. It became a national talking point during FAU's stunning run to the 2023 NCAA Final Four under coach Dusty May, even though the Final Four itself was played at a much larger neutral-site venue. It was renamed Eleanor R. Baldwin Arena after a $7.5 million gift from Baldwin in late 2022.

I was so incredibly excited to see this one. I was a massive fan of that 2023 Final Four Owls team so I was trying every door in this building. Found an opened door and did a full tour! Saw the FF Trophy, nets, and basketballs. Definitely my favorite court design in all of the NCAA, a fun mid major gym. Absolutely love their colors and logo too. SO HAPPY I GOT INSIDE
