Sojka Pavilion

Sojka Pavilion is a multi-purpose arena at Bucknell University in Lewisburg designed for basketball and other sporting events. The facility features a hardwood playing surface, LED video boards, locker rooms, and seating arrangements for approximately 4,000 spectators with modern adjustable configurations.

Construction of the pavilion began in May 2001 and the facility opened in January 2003, giving the university a new home for its sports programs. This completion marked a significant moment in the campus infrastructure development.

The pavilion is named after Dr. Gary Allan Sojka, a former Bucknell University president, and serves as the home venue for the Bucknell Bison basketball teams. Visitors experience the home games of a college program that holds strong roots within the university community.

The venue offers several facilities for visitors, including locker rooms, concession areas, and different seating options for various event types. Those seeking good views of the playing surface should pay attention to sightline quality when selecting their seats.

The venue has hosted several major sports championships over the years and has become more than just a home court for one team. Its use extends beyond basketball games, making it an event location of regional importance.
