McKale Memorial Center is an athletic arena located at 1756 E University Blvd on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona. It is primarily used for basketball, but also features state-of-the-art physical training and therapy facilities. Its construction is marked with a large copper cap that has turned brown over time. McKale Center is home to the University of Arizona Wildcats basketball team. The arena opened in February 1973 and has an official capacity of 14,655 spectators.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arizonawildcats.com/fls/30700/pdf/mbasketball/1415Guide.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=30700 )〕 It hosted the 1988 Pacific-10 Conference men's basketball tournament.
The McKale Center was named in honor of J.F. "Pop" McKale, athletic director and coach of all sports at the University of Arizona for a time, a figure at the university from 1914 to 1957. McKale was head basketball coach of Arizona from 1914 to 1921, where he recorded a 49-12 record.
McKale was coach of the Arizona football team from 1914 to 1930, with a record of 80 wins, 32 losses and six ties. His winning percentage of .714 was one of the top in the university's history. It was one of McKale’s tough football teams that brought the nickname of “Wildcats” to the university.〔(David Leighton, "Street Smarts: Before arena, road named for "Pop" McKale", Arizona Daily Star, June 17, 2014 )〕
In 1914, McKale's football team, which had little or no standing in intercollegiate football, played Occidental College in Los Angeles, and even though they lost 14-0, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times was so inspired with the team’s desire to win that he wrote: “the Arizona men showed the fight of wildcats…". The name stuck and today the University of Arizona teams are known as the "Wildcats."〔(David Leighton, "Street Smarts: Before arena, road named for "Pop" McKale", Arizona Daily Star, June 17, 2014 )〕
The University of Arizona is in the Pacific-12 Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Following the Arizona State University game on February 26, 2000, the University of Arizona athletic department honored head coach Lute Olson with a ceremony to name the McKale Center floor, "Lute Olson Court". Then, during a memorial service in January 2001 for Olson's late wife, Bobbi, it was renamed, "Lute and Bobbi Olson Court" in recognition of the couple's impact on the university and the city of Tucson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.arizonawildcats.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=30700&ATCLID=208232685 )
In 2002, the Eddie Lynch Athletics Pavilion, a state-of-the-art medical and strength/conditioning facility for Wildcat student athletes, was completed and opened. The pavilion (which cost $14 million) was a addition to the north end of McKale Center. The upper level has a museum-like display area, open to the public, showcasing the history of Arizona Wildcat athletics.
In terms of capacity, McKale Center is the second largest arena in the Pac-12 conference. Utah's Jon M. Huntsman Center is the largest basketball arena in the conference, but Arizona averages greater attendance.
==Proposed Renovation==
In December 2012, the University of Arizona Athletic Department was given approval by the Arizona Board of Regents to select an architect to renovate McKale Center. "The hope is to get it to be where it's one concourse enclosed that you can walk around and have the restrooms and concessions and everything tied to it," said Greg Byrne, the Arizona Athletic Director. The renovation would also include a club area, luxury seating, and more room for the athletics offices that occupy the McKale Center. The Arizona Athletic Department ultimately decided on AECOM to plan and design the renovation. The project will be completed in several phases between 2014-2017 at a cost of $80 million. McKale Center will remain open during the construction process due to the fact that much of the project will take place during the off-season. The first phase of the renovation includes a brand new high-definition video scoreboard which was completed at the end of December 2013. Other parts of the first phase also included new seating, a new floor, an improved locker room area and expanded restrooms and concessions. The first phase was completed in November 2014. The renovation has added 155 additional seats to McKale; which increases the overall capacity to 14,700.
