Save Mart Center

Save Mart Center is an indoor arena on the California State University campus in Fresno designed to host sporting events and concerts. The facility spans three levels and can accommodate up to 16,182 spectators for various types of gatherings.

The arena opened in November 2003 as a major privately funded investment in the university's campus development. This facility represented a significant milestone in enhancing the institution's capacity for athletic and entertainment events.

The bronze bulldog statue at the southeast entrance represents the university's identity and connection to the community. It serves as a gathering point where students and visitors recognize the pride of Fresno State.

The venue is centrally located on campus and easily accessible on foot, with ample parking facilities nearby for visitors. Arriving early before major events helps you secure good parking and allows time to get oriented before entry.

A walkway near the arena features personalized tiles honoring graduates and other notable individuals connected to the region. Some tiles commemorate tragic events, including the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.
