UD Arena

UD Arena is the home of Dayton Flyers basketball in Dayton, Ohio, and one of the most respected mid-major venues in the country. Dayton fans are known for filling the building even for non-conference games, giving it a big-program atmosphere despite the school's Atlantic 10 membership. The arena's long partnership with the NCAA has made it a fixture of March Madness season. It remains one of the sport's most consistently loud home environments outside a power conference.

Opened in 1969, UD Arena has hosted more NCAA Tournament games than any other venue in the country. It has served as the longtime home of the tournament's First Four play-in games since that round's 2011 introduction, and hosted first- and second-round games for decades before that. The building has also backed multiple nationally ranked Flyers teams and Atlantic 10 championship runs. Its enduring NCAA relationship is a rarity for a campus arena of its size and age.
