McArthur Court, Historic basketball arena at University of Oregon in Eugene, United States.
The basketball arena features three levels of seating arranged vertically above the court, creating steep angles and close proximity to the playing surface.
Ellis F Lawrence designed McArthur Court in 1926, naming it after Clifton McArthur, the first student body president of the University of Oregon.
The arena hosted notable performers including Elvis Presley in 1976 and The Grateful Dead in 1978, extending its significance beyond sports events.
The facility maintained a seating capacity of 9,087 people and served as the home court for Oregon Ducks basketball teams until 2011.
Students funded the construction through a $15 fee, and the university marked the final payment with a ceremony where they burned the mortgage papers.
