Bren Events Center, Multi-purpose arena at University of California, Irvine, US
The Bren Events Center encompasses 65,000 square feet of space with a central 22,000-square-foot arena designed for sports and gatherings.
The center opened on January 8, 1987, following a student referendum that approved a quarterly fee of 23 dollars per student for its construction.
The center hosts the annual Pilipinx American Cultural Night, a major Filipino performance event that brings together performers from across California.
The facility offers configurations for 4,984 seats during basketball games and 5,710 seats for concerts, with three separate courts available for recreational activities.
In fall 2023, the center underwent renovations to install a new jumbotron on the south wall and ribbon boards around the arena perimeter.
