Memorial Center
The Memorial Center, better known as the Mini-Dome, will host the Atlantic Sun Conference's third annual Indoor Track and Field Championship.
The Dome has been the home of Buccaneer basketball for the past 23 years, and also twice hosted theAtlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Tournament.
Memorial Center has undergone several renovations and improvements in recent years. In 1996, the strength training facility was enlarged to 7,200 square feet, making it one of the largest in the southeast. The facility received a $200,000 facelift, as it was redesigned and reequipped. The track received a new tartan surface five summers ago, including a polyurethane base with three different levels: smooth for basketball, slight granulation for tennis and heavier granulation for track.
