Gallagher-Iba Arena, basketball and wrestling venue

Gallagher-Iba Arena is a large indoor sports facility at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater that hosts basketball and wrestling events and can seat over 13,000 fans. The building features a polished wood floor, high ceilings, and seating arranged around the court so spectators can watch the action up close from nearly any spot.

The arena opened in 1938 as a building for student activities and was soon named Gallagher Hall to honor wrestling coach Ed Gallagher. In 1987, it became Gallagher-Iba Arena to also recognize basketball coach Henry Iba, whose teams played here for decades and built a winning tradition.

The arena is nicknamed "The Rowdiest Arena in the Country" and "The Madison Square Garden of the Plains." Its name honours wrestling coach Ed Gallagher and basketball coach Henry Iba. The court, named Eddie Sutton Court in 2005, keeps the 1938 maple floor, the most expensive of its kind when installed.

The arena has two entrances with elevators and escalators for easy access on game days. Parking is available on campus and in nearby lots, though getting in and finding a spot can be crowded when large crowds are expected.

The original 1938 maple floor is still in use and is the oldest original basketball court floor still played on; it was the most expensive of its kind in America when installed. On January 15, 2005, it was named Eddie Sutton Court, and his script signature sits above the Oklahoma State University logo at center court.
