THE TRANSFORMED UD ARENA 
The University of Dayton is wrapping up a $76.2 million renovation of its Arena. The transformation of University of Dayton Arena occurred in three phases – from 2017 to 2019 – and is being completed in time for UD Arena's 50th anniversary season.
The Arena is an iconic community resource with an economic impact of upwards of $10 million annually. In addition to Flyer men's and women's basketball games, high school tournament games and the NCAA First Four, it is used for competitions such as the Winter Guard International World Championships, entertainment events, large-scale educational seminars and as a staging area for community projects.
UD Arena has been the site of 125 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament games, 48 more than any other tournament host.
