McKale Center

McKale Center is the legendary home of Arizona Wildcats basketball and one of college basketball's most intimidating venues. The arena's design and Tucson's passionate fanbase create the Zona Zoo atmosphere. Located on the Arizona campus, it has hosted decades of Wildcats excellence. The venue has been the stage for Lute Olson's dynasty and sustained success. McKale Center remains one of the sport's premier destinations.

McKale Center opened in 1973 and was named for J.F. McKale, Arizona's legendary coach and athletics director. Lute Olson's tenure brought the 1997 national championship and sustained Final Four runs. Sean Miller and Tommy Lloyd have continued the tradition. The venue has hosted countless NCAA Tournament games and Pac-12 battles. McKale Center is a college basketball cathedral.
