Stuart C. Siegel Center, Multi-purpose arena in Richmond, Virginia
The Stuart C. Siegel Center is a multipurpose arena in Richmond, Virginia, built primarily for basketball and concerts. The building has a full-size basketball court, practice courts, and a seating bowl divided into several sections.
The center opened in 1999 after a major private donation made the construction possible. The building was named after businessman Stuart C. Siegel in recognition of his financial contribution.
The arena is closely tied to VCU Rams basketball, and game days draw loud crowds that fill the seats. These gatherings are among the most energetic moments on the university campus.
The Siegel Center sits on the Virginia Commonwealth University campus in Richmond and is walkable from the city center. On event nights, arriving early is a good idea since nearby parking fills up fast.
Since 2011, every VCU Rams home game has been sold out, which is rare in college basketball. This streak has brought the arena attention from sports analysts who follow attendance trends in college sports.
