Details
James A. Rhodes Arena provides the Zips with a home-court advantage that rivals any facility in the Mid-American Conference. Also known as Rhodes Arena and the JAR, the facility is home to the men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the women's volleyball squad.
All 5,500 seats in the arena are retractable to facilitate the use of the 18,000-square-foot floor for physical education activities, concerts, conventions and other special events.
Armchair seating is available on the lower level (1,323) and on the west-side upper level (773), while the remaining seats are bleacher style.
