Facilities
Trojan Arena has been considered to be one of the most modern basketball facilities in the southeastern United States since it was completed in 2012. The total cost to build the arena was $40 million.
Trojan Arena seating features 5,200 chair-back seats, seven upper-level suites and an exclusive Stadium Club area for donors, while also having floor seating for students. The arena features an LED ribbon board that circles around the entire arena, one of only two of its kind in the Sun Belt Conference. Daktronics designed, manufactured, and installed two 767-square-foot LED video/scoring system boards, which are the largest end-wall installations Daktronics has ever produced for an indoor college facility. The court level of the arena features eight sections of Daktronics LED scorer’s tables. They each measure 2 feet high by more than 9 feet wide and can be connected in any configuration to showcase student athletes, display additional statistical information in real time, recognize sponsors and promote upcoming events. The arena was featured in LED Magazine for its use of state-of-the-art technology throughout the arena.
Under the main playing court sits a 10,000 sq ft area of basketball practice courts. These facilities are shared by both the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the indoor women's volley team.
Among the other features of the new arena are a three-tiered rotunda at the main entrance, an interior concourse with concession stands and a food court-styled dining center with specialty food items.
The arena is designed to be used for many other multi-purpose reasons, including concerts, banquets, indoor sports tournaments, and graduation ceremonies. The arena also is home to the Troy University Sports Hall of Fame. A unique design of this Hall of Fame facility was to include Digital displays of its members. The displays are located adjacent to the rotunda. These displays are only one's of their kind in the Sun Belt Conference. The inaugural Hall of Fame Induction Banquet, held August 10, 2012, was the first event held in the new facility.
Troy Sports Hall of Fame
A section of the arena is home to the Troy Sports Hall of Fame, which inducted its inaugural class in 2012. It features a state-of-the-art interactive digital Hall of Fame display for fans.
