SEFCU ARENA
SEFCU Arena is a 4,538-seat multi-purpose arena in Albany, New York. It is home to the University at Albany ("UAlbany") Men's and Women's Great Danes basketball teams, as well the New York Buzz, a member of World TeamTennis. The arena opened in 1992 as the Recreation and Convocation Center, popularly known as "The RACC", in anticipation of UAlbany's move from Division III to Division I. The current name of SEFCU Arena was adopted on November 1, 2006 when UAlbany entered a 10-year naming rights deal with SEFCU, a federal credit union.
SEFCU Arena is located behind the Physical Education building, which separates it from University Field. It is most notable for hosting the 2006 America East Conference men's basketball tournament championship in which the Great Danes defeated Vermont to earn their first bid into the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship. The arena will host the 2009 America East Men's Basketball Tournament, and is also the venue for the university's graduate commencement ceremonies.
