Save Mart Center

The Save Mart Center is the home arena of the Fresno State Bulldogs basketball teams in Fresno, California. One of the largest on-campus arenas in the western United States, the bowl-shaped venue also anchors California's Central Valley as a major concert and event destination. Game nights bring a loud, red-clad crowd packed close to the action thanks to steep lower-bowl seating. Beyond hoops, the arena regularly converts for rodeo, bull riding, and combat sports, giving it a rare multi-sport identity for a college building.

The arena opened in November 2003, with an open house on November 5 and the first event, a women's volleyball match between Fresno State and Hawai'i, that October, followed by an Andrea Bocelli concert as the building's musical christening. It has since hosted WWE's Royal Rumble, NCAA women's basketball tournament regional games, and, since 2004, an annual stop on the PBR Built Ford Tough bull-riding series. Several Bellator MMA cards have also been staged there, cementing its reputation as the Central Valley's premier multi-purpose venue alongside its role as Fresno State basketball's modern home.
