About Thompson-Boling Arena
Opened in 1987, Thompson-Boling Arena is the home to men's and women's basketball at Tennessee, as well as women's volleyball.
With a capacity of 21,678, it is the largest on-campus, single-sport arena in the country. Only the Carrier Dome at Syracuse, which is also hosts football games, seats more fans in an on-campus basketball venue.
Tennessee recently completed a $35 million renovation of Thompson-Boling Arena, which included new seats, a center-hung scoreboard, concourse improvements, the construction of a pedestrian bridge from the adjacent G10 parking garage, 32 luxury suites and 166 loge seats.
