War Memorial Gymnasium, Athletic building at University of San Francisco, United States
War Memorial Gymnasium is an athletic facility on the University of San Francisco campus that houses a basketball court and multiple volleyball courts. The building features modern seating throughout and maintains distinct sections for different visitor categories.
The building was constructed in 1958 as a memorial to university alumni who lost their lives in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It represents the institution's way of honoring those fallen from that era.
The facility displays trophies and memorabilia from decades of sports achievements at the university, giving visitors a sense of the institution's athletic tradition. Walking through, one can see how the place reflects the pride and commitment of the campus community.
The gymnasium is accessed from the main campus, and visitors should know that certain areas may be restricted depending on scheduled events. It helps to check in advance what games or activities are happening to understand access rules and crowd levels.
The gymnasium made television history in 1982 when CBS broadcast the first national television showing of a college basketball game from this location. This event marked a turning point in how college sports reached audiences across the country.
