Marriott Center

The Marriott Center is a multi-purpose arena in the western United States, located on the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah.It was also the largest venue in the nation built for basketball, larger than any NBA (or ABA) arena at that time.Prior to 1971, the Cougars played basketball games at the Smith Fieldhouse, which remains the primary venue for volleyball and gymnastics.[1][2] A devotional gathering featuring Gordon B. Hinckley, the LDS Church's president, on October 17, 1995, drew the largest crowd to ever attend an activity at the arena: 25,875 people.[6] The new renovation also installed new video boards in the arena and added the Marriott Center Annex building, where practice sessions take place for both BYU's men's and women's basketball teams.
