Alico Arena

Alico Arena, a 120,000 square-foot complex, is the centerpiece of Florida Gulf Coast University’s NCAA Division II athletics program. Opened in the fall of 2002, Alico Arena serves as the home of the Campus Fitness and Recreation and Intramurals, as well as the Human Performance and Athletic Training programs in the College of Health Sciences. It is also home to the FGCU volleyball and basketball programs. A naming rights gift by Alico Incorporated significantly enhanced the facility.

Alico Arena has 4,500 seats in an oval configuration and a permanent hardwood floor. It includes four full-sized basketball courts and six suites. In addition to the arena, the facility includes offices for the Athletics Department, 12 locker rooms, and a hospitality room.

In addition to recreation and athletic functions, Alico Arena is designed to host music and entertainment events – concerts, speakers, road shows, trade shows and corporate events.

Since its opening, Alico Arena has already hosted several special events. The facility has hosted both the Hillmyer-Tremont Classic and National Independent Basketball tournaments, and serves as the practice home of the NBA Development League Florida Flame.

The arena has been the site of several concerts, including the Beach Boys, and hosted events for both U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney and acclaimed poet and author Maya Angelou.
