The arena opened November 18, 2006 with a volleyball game against Bradley. The other three UNI teams made their debuts in the facility over the next three days—men's basketball versus Milwaukee on November 19, women's basketball against Iowa State on November 20, and wrestling versus Iowa on November 21. The McLeod Center replaced the UNI-Dome as the home of the school's basketball teams and West Gymnasium as the home of the volleyball and wrestling teams. The McLeod Center is located on the west end of the campus, directly south of the UNI-Dome and connected by a covered walkway that also houses an extensive athletic hall of fame. A video board is located on the south wall with home and visiting team scoreboards on either side showing the player's game information. There are two scoreboards on the north side and ribbon boards above the concession stands on the east and west sides. Since opening, the arena has had quite a significant positive economic impact for the university. It brings in $20-25 million annually, doubled the attendance of basketball games, and has almost 400,000 total visitors a year. The arena also hosts commencement ceremonies throughout the year and can be used for recreation upon request. During the 2009-2010 and 2014-2015 Men's basketball seasons, the team went undefeated at the McLeod Center. ==Other== *On May 18th, 2010, the McLeod Center became the first building in Iowa to host the 14th Dalai Lama. *On October 24, 2010 Bob Dylan performed at the venue. *Other artists who have performed include Luke Bryan, Rodney Atkins, The All-American Rejects, Meat Loaf, Miranda Lambert, Gloriana (band), and Alan Jackson. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McLeod Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
